Thankful Thursday

Okay, need to catch up a bit. Working backward(ish) from the most recent stuff, here are some of the things I'm thankful for...

1. Senior pictures. I took Micah and a friend to take some senior pictures earlier this week. Like his brothers, Micah didn't really care about senior pictures but humored me. :) We headed up to Horsetooth Reservoir...to a bouldering area...and took a bunch of pictures. They're not the greatest but they'll do for what I'm looking for (mainly for the graduation announcements). Saving the better shots for later, but here are some of the outtakes... 

(Unlike his brothers, Micah has no issues about posing, lol.) Thankful to have at least some pictures (we may take more later but at least we can submit something to the yearbook for now) and thankful for the time with my boy. 

2. Voting conversations. Nathan, Noah and I had a nice time discussing and filling out our ballots before I took all our ballots (plus Asher's) to a drop-off spot. I appreciate that we can and do have discussions. 

(Sidenote: Nathan would like to request that the next round of ballots come with self-sealing envelopes rather than the type he has to lick to seal. Apparently they taste awful. We may all have had him lick ours, too, lol.)

3. Time with friends. I've been blessed to have some awesome time with friends over the past weeks. Sadly, I didn't take pictures at all of them but have spent a lovely afternoon shopping with Deanna, enjoyed some day-drinking and lunch with Renee, and got pedicures with Molly. Yay for friends! 

(Here's Renee and me over lunch a couple weeks ago.)

4. Appreciation. A couple weeks ago, Micah submitted his first round of college applications and got me these flowers as a thank you for my help in editing essays and such...

Awww. Nice to be appreciated. :)

Okay, need to get going for now. Feels like it's been busy around here...demo team performing at a promotion, Micah attending his first concert down in Denver, meeting Micah's girlfriend's parents, Nathan's annual well check, Noah helping at a race in Loveland for work, starting to gear up for the holidays, and plenty of other stuff. Hope your November is going well!
