Attitude of Gratitude - Week 5

Last week was such a blur.  I've been super stressed out with everything going on lately, but this past weekend was one of the best in a very long time so I am bursting with happiness and gratitude!

1. Last Tuesday I posted about my continuing luck when I won a gift card to Bedding Style from the lovely Melissa over at 320 Sycamore.  She is awesome, her blog is awesome, and I'm sure my new duvet and sheets will be equally... awesome!

2. Friday I had a great night of darts and music with some new friends, which was the perfect way to unwind after a long week.  Saturday I went home for the annual Hog Roast hosted by one of my best friends, Cathy, and her family.  I squeak this girl and her family as much as my own and it was so awesome to finally see her after a whole year of separation!  And who doesn't love delicious food, drinks, and all the craziness that ensues at a summer party.  So I am beyond grateful for both old and new friends... you know what they say, one is silver and the other is gold!

3. I don't know how I went five weeks without mentioning this one (and for that I truly apologize), but I am grateful for Squeakers!  Even though we drive each other crazy sometimes, I know he'll always be there for me when I really need him...  He'll be there to push me past my comfort zone (even if I don't want him to), to help me make those big life decisions, to cheer me up, cheer me on, and support my dream of interior design.  So for all of that and much more, I am thankful to have him in my life.

Attitude of Gratitude - Week 2

I am so excited for this week's Attitude of Gratitude because I have so much to be thankful for. So without further adieu...

1.  My best friend came back from Europe yesterday!  And Saturday was her birthday!  Me and this girl have been besties since 7th grade (half my life!) and I love her.  So happy birthday and welcome back Alejita, you are the bomb diggity girlfrannnn.

2.  The past couple months my roommate and I have both been so busy with our jobs, families, and boyfriends.  We haven't spent much time together since we moved in April because our schedules just always seem to be opposite, but this past week we've both been home every day and had a chance to do fun things like Girls' Night Out and Brewfest.  It's nice coming home to a friend instead of an empty house.

3.  So You Think You Can Dance is one of my absolute favorite shows and I am soooo happy it is back in season.  I literally just watch in awe every week at how amazing these people can dance and how rockin their bods are.  Shut the front door, seriously.  And each year there are a few people that are just so adorable you want to be their best friend.  This year it was Leroy Martinez, who is pretty much the sweetest person ever!

What are you all thankful for?  Comment and let me know!  Fun reunions coming up? Did you watch SYTYCD and love Leroy too?
