Hello, New World!
For my last installment of #30daysthankful, I've decided to do what I do best... ramble, movie quote, picture narrate, etc., to get my point across. :)
GO!
Day 21. I'm thankful for my reflexes of a cat and speed of a mongoose... I got my trash out on time!!!
Kudos to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (When Nature Calls) for that glorious start to my #thankful
Anyway. My loving fiance' is.... somewhat OCD. Not that I'm not... we're just OCD about different things. Therefore, we have most things covered ;) Heffe's been very busy with school and a new job lately, so I try to pick up some slack at home (which usually just ends up finishing the bottle of wine instead of cleaning more than my share) and I was really excited to beat the garbage truck. Little things, New World. Little things!!! Our garage did NOT stink that week!
Day 22: I'm thankful for my turd blessings, my sweet nephews, Drew, Alex, and Aidan. OMG. When Drew was in kindergarten, he invited me to his Thanksgiving prayer service at school. Alex invited me to go this year. Cool. No biggie. Um...except that it WAS big deal. "I'm kind of a big deal." They were only allowed to invite one special guest. THEY BOTH PICKED ME. Out of everyone they know. They picked me. :) I am starting to tear up just thinking of how special this makes me feel. They aren't even my kids! I love them so much, and they have forever changed my life for the better. I hope they read this blog one day (you know, when they are old enough to explore the internet and the internet is obsolete and I'm old and gray) and realize how much they will always mean to me. And AIDAN!!!! I got to spend an afternoon listening to him talk to me about preschool and Legos and how Uncle Jeff eats food off the floor. :) :) Enough. Sciato's done crying!
Day 23: *crap I'm not done crying* I'm thankful for an impromptu shopping day with Amish (my future but real sister-in-law) and then a Hunger Games outing with Heffe, Amish, CDawg, Michael, and Maddy.
Once a year, Sciato goes shopping in a BIG way. Sciato had a partner in crime- enter Amy Kent. We have the same fatal flaw- we love to make each other feel warm and fuzzy. Because of this, we have no self control around each other. Amy spent the weekend with me. and heffe I guess. THEN, she did my hairs. THEN we put on new clothes. THEN. we saw the Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Great clothes. Great hair. WONDERFUL company. Not enough caps. ***Perfection***
Day 24: I'm thankful for my job. The best job in the world!
"Best guitar player in the worllllld! No lessons!!! Look at me pop!!!"-The crazy "best man,better man" in the Wedding Singer
Seriously. Just like the crazy "better man"'s guitar skills, my teaching job is my calling. I know everyday when I wake up that I was made to be a teacher. Sure. It frustrates me. I get angry with my peers. I get really bitter that I'm expected to do the job of 8 people in 8 hours.
But.
Those stinking cute, sweet, loving, smart, amazing kids bring me back every day.
Every. Single. Day.
Day 25: I'm thankful for my dad's and brothers' patience with me. They helped me buy a new laptop this day!!!!!
"The files are IN the computer?!?!?!?"
I set it up and installed all my programs all by myself!!!! And my dad helped a little. Okay.
He helped a lot. :)
Day 26: I'm thankful for my Disney coffee mugs!!!
Um..... duh.
If you are reading my blog and don't understand how much I love Disney everything and all the wonderful memories they create for me.... at this point.... you probably should stop reading my blog. K. Bye.
Day 27: I'm thankful for the snowy view out my back window.
"In the meadow we can build a snowman....."
Except if you're reading this in my voice, you're singing it like a '60's male lounge singer.
GOULET! (thanks, SNL!)
Day 28: I'm thankful for my future mother-in-law's homemade ChexMix. I got to spend Thanksgiving with Heffe's family this year! We successfully never left Heffe's parents' house. It was amazing. Filled with love, laughs, and Mrs. Kent's chexmix. NOM.NOM.NOM.
I needed a little of that in my life!!!
Day 29: I'm thankful for my future father-in-law's margarrrrrrrrrrritas
and Mexican night!!!! Too many memories from this night to record... Add all the inside jokes and stories together, and you get one big, loving, happy, and crazy family. And I am in love with them all. :)
Day 30: I'm thankful for family. Since I spent Thanksgiving with the Kents', I was missin on the Sciato's. My immediate family FaceTimed me, texted me, emailed me, you name it. They made me feel like I was there!!! (except when my dad told me TODAY that they had wine leftover from the holiday. PARTY. FOUL.) While I was missing on my fam BIG TIME...I was making some really fond memories with my future (but really real) family. I could not have asked for a more hospitable environment... everyone was so relaxed and just open to listening, laughing, and loving all up on each other. It was so refreshing. I miss them all so much now. Love my family... and Love my new family, too.:)
Um. Duh.
November was very good for Sciato. Lots of life, love, and laughter.
Tears were mostly happy ones.
I am certainly a blessed lady. :) :) :)
December has been good so far... sooooo.....
everyone better....
have a holly jolly, holly jolly, oooooooooooh......
Until next time.
This is me. Bein me.
Cheers. :)
