Thanks for the Giving! (Julie's Holiday Reflection)

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I feel it's time to reflect on things I am thankful for. Here's my list for 2009:

Here are 2 things that came about in February. The birth of this monkey baby into Zane's family and the birth of our very own monkey baby into the world of online story telling.

This little treat was received in March and I have been thanking my parents ever since! If you don't already have one I HIGHLY recommend getting one. It improves your sleep and gets you more dreams! Our faves? Thunderstorm and Ocean Surf.

My springtime thanks go to the Shroom Burger at Shake Shack in NYC and to... of course... our someday sponsor: Bud Light Lime!

Our summer couldn't have been complete without the sanctuary that was offered to us. We thank you for the hospitality and awesome blog material!!

I was very thankful for TWO opportunities this year to go up to Maine and meet/visit with Zane's Grandparents. This is their lovely home we went to:

I discovered this favorite sometime in the fall and still giggle about it whenever it crosses my mind.

Of course this is not something new circa 2009, but I am still thankful for him and that he will be spending Thanksgiving with me and my family.

Lastly, I am thankful that you are following Zane and me in a very important time in our lives. When we are learning to settle with someone because no one else would put up with our crap. A time of penny pinching and "staycations." We are glad you are a part of our blogging family and for that, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
