you are the peanut to my butter

Day 3 of the 30-day challenge: I’m thankful for friends who know me really, really well.

Case in point #1: I LOVE celebrity gossip. So when I heard about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ surprise wedding (who I’ve previously blogged about here) I was shocked! I couldn’t believe it, like they were my bff’s who kept the secret from me. So when I got a text message from a friend about the topic with the perfect amount of shock and exclamation points, it made me happy to have someone who understands.

(P.S. They got married on The Notebook plantation. Could that be any more adorable?!)

Case in point #2: In the same night, I had another friend tag me in the photo below on Facebook. As a Diet Coke obsessor and one who loves a good advertisement, it was just too perfect for words.

Day 4 of the 30-day challenge: I’m thankful I have something worth waking up early for. 

Every Wednesday I’ll be waking up 2 hours earlier than usual to get together with a group of wonderful women in a Bible study. The lack of sleep is completely worth it – to spend time with these Godly ladies, to dig into His word and to prayerfully learn about living out our faith in the workplace.
