i missed last week's post, so here are a few things i've been thankful for over the last couple of weeks:
1. pumpkin scones at syrup.
i love all things fall, which also means i love all things pumpkin. just last week the bakery we get our scones from sent us some pumpkin scones to sample. y'all. it took about .03 seconds to decide we had to have them. these scones are like autumn in your mouth -- so unbelievably good.
2. election day.
i'm so thankful i live in a country that gives me the right to vote. there are way too many places in this world where that is not the case. i'm so thankful the lord calls us to pray for our leaders and assures us he upholds the universe by the word of his power (hebrews 1.3).
3. nephew #2.
the fact that it's november a little bit blows my mind, but the good news is, our second nephew is making his debut into the world this month and we absolutely can't wait!! chris's sister, katie, is due november 21st, and we are counting down the days. chris doesn't even know what to do with himself he's so excited. we can't wait to meet you, benjamin daniel hardy!
4. weekend in norman.
after traveling 4 out of the last 5 weekends, we are super excited about just being in norman this weekend! all of our out-of-town trips have been so much fun, but we're ready to be home and feel normal for a little while before the holiday madness begins. also, OU is playing baylor here in norman this weekend -- we'll be wearing our green and gold proudly. sic 'em!
5. my preacher husband.
chris gets to preach at our church about once every 4-6 weeks. i know i'm 100% biased, but i really do think he's got a gift for it. he's especially great at the studying and preparation. then he's able to communicate it in a clear, matter-of-fact, down-to-earth, somewhat sarcastic way -- would you expect anything else? the most incredible thing is when i hear people talk about what they got out of the sermon -- to realize the lord is speaking through your husband to work in someone's life is a pretty crazy/awesome/humbling thing. i'm so proud of him and eager to hear him again this sunday.
