Thankful/Little Things

This has been an especially good week with so much to be thankful for.  There’s been a lot of turning up the music and dancing in our house and so much excitement I can’t fall asleep at night. Partly due to my love being home and partly because day after tomorrow we’re leaving for NEW ZEALAND !! Ahhh!!!! We’ve dreamt for years of traveling there together and have spent the past months since we bought our tickets jumping up and down {me} looking forward to this. It’s a dream that’s actually coming true and my heart feels like it’s already spilling over with gratefulness.

{Finding more photos from Tokyo on my memory card. Aren’t those two doors above cute?! These were all in the adorable Azabu district.}

 {Going to the Marine Corps Ball with the Perezs & Grundens the other weekend. I was lucky to dance all night as their fifth wheel. And I got a third wear out of my dress!}

{It’s been raining most of the week but there were a few spectacular sunsets watched with that handsome guy before he went back to work.}

{We’re trying to get our thumbs as green as possible and just added lettuce to our potted garden. Every time we successfully don’t kill a plant, we give each other a high-five and say, ok, maybe we can grow our dream vineyard one day. Baby steps!}

I’ll still be posting next week! I hope you all have an amazing upcoming weekend.  NZ here we come!!
