High 5 For Friday

It's High 5 For Friday time already! I have to admit that I'm looking forward to the weekend this week.

5 Highlights from my week:

1. My cold is almost gone.  I took some meds one day this week before I left for work and WOAH was I out of it all day long!  Turns out it was store brand Benadryl - which apparently makes me super drowsy!  So I'm very happy that the cold seems to be losing the battle rather quickly.

2. Every night this week after Peaches is in bed I've spent with my new birthday present.  It's so fun!  And I'm just beginning to learn all of what I can do with it!

3. We went out to dinner on Monday and I tried a new drink that I absolutely loved.

 I'm super excited to pick up a bottle of this stuff.  I don't drink much at all, but a little of this in some sweet tea is right up my alley!

  

4. My sweet daughter is learning manners!  She says "peas" (please) often when she wants things and the other day driving home from school she asked for another graham cracker and after I gave her one she said "tank you" (thank you)!  This makes me so proud!  I want her to grow up being respectful and thankful to others {this is most likely because I deal so frequently with some disrespectful and unthankful high school students}  And...I caught her pushing the buttons on the dishwasher today and she was saying "tree, four, five!"  "five, six, sen, eight!" WOW.  She blows me away!  How does a brain that has so much going on, pick up these things in under 2 years!?!  Just a reminder of how amazing our Creator is!

5. My blog is growing! Very slowly, but surely!  I've gained a few followers this week, and hope to gain even more in the next few.  I've been getting more comments and I'm always so excited when I get an email that says someone left a comment! Really makes my day :)  This week I also received my very first blog award!!
