Looking Forward

There are only 4 weeks left until I get to go home again!

Sure, I'll miss the ocean views (like the one above) a little bit, but I absolutely cannot wait to get back to Colorado.  I'd take the mountains over the ocean any day of the week.

I've spent the morning thinking of all the things I'm looking forward to at home, so I thought I'd share a couple of them with you.

Top 3 (crafty) things I'm  looking forward to at home:

1.  Getting to use my new sewing machine!  My parents gave it to me for my birthday right before I left for this contract, and I never even got to try it out.  I seriously can't wait for this one.  I've been dreaming of all the pretty dresses I'll sew.

2.  My yarn stash.  (Enough said.)

3.  Easily accessible natural lighting.  No, my cabin on the ship doesn't have a porthole unless you count our poster of a porthole, which obviously doesn't fix the lighting problem.

It's going to be awesome!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm in Mexico today, and there's no turkey or pumping pie in my near future, but I have a lawn chair by the pool and a whole lot to be thankful for.

So in the spirit of the holiday, here's a list of the top 5 things that I'm thankful for today:

1.  My family.

2.  My awesome friends back home who put up with me being away at ice shows all the time.  (I'm looking at you, Karleen!)

3.  Getting to do what I love for my job.  It's seriously the best.

4.  Spending today by the ocean in Mexico.  If I can't be at home; this is a pretty great second choice.

5.  The internet, for keeping me connected to all my friends and family all over the world.

What are you thankful for?

xoxo
