Thankful Thursday and Sweet Shoppe Birthday Blog Challenge

Well another week has gone by here and we have so many things to be thankful for.
Here are some things that have been a blessing to me this week.
1. Yesterday I was able to go grocery shopping and on my trip I stopped by the local Aldi (I really find they have excellent prices and fantastic produce and dairy products). Aldi had the most beautiful green apples. When I got home I ate one for a snack. Thees apples taste like they just came off the tree. Yummy!
2. My daughter has a fantastic pre-school teacher. Kennedy really adores her. Kennedy is always learning new vocabulary words, and making the sweetest art projects. Her teacher is very dedicated fun and creative.
3. I am thankful for the 100 grand bar (my total fav!!! I love the Carmel and how sticky and yummy it is) that Tina got for me. Tina is such a blessing. She is always thinking about me (and others) before herself. She is so vibrant and fun...so really I am thankful for Tina....okay and the candy bar! :)
4. My electricity. There are still people in our country without power from that horrible ice storm. Praise God we had power the whole time, I am praying for those without it and praising that we have it.
5. The point and shoot camera I do have. This week my beloved Canon Rebel xt had a horrible and devastating malfunction that could have in fact caused a fire in my home, the battery somehow shorted and caused some sparks and melting. This completely damaged my camera and as it turns out the warranty we purchased was bogus (don't by anything from RepairTech), but I do have a camera still and although it may not be the fancy one I am wishing I still had I am grateful to still be able to capture my memories.

So what about you what are you thankful for?
If you do a Thankful Thursday come back here and post a link so I can see how you have been blessed!
