Thankful Thursday

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Thankful Thursday around here but since November is a month of thanks and my Facebook feed is bombarded with people listing their gratitude each day, I felt it’s time for this series to come back.

How have you been? I hope well! I miss interacting with all of you lovely folks in the blog world, whether it is through comments or Twitter, I miss you!

My blog has been sadly neglected as parenting and life has gotten in the way of my computer time. One of these days I will be able to log in more often, but it doesn’t appear November 7, 2013 is that day. Yet. I have so many things I want to fill you all in on though. Soon, I promise.

Here’s a quick run-down of what has been going on around here and what I’m thankful for:

• My Mom got me a 23andme.com DNA test for my birthday, the results of which have very cool and frightening at the same time. I plan on posting about my crazy/scary health results and some cool ancestry connections I’ve been able to make thanks to 23andme.
• I’m still loving CrossFit. My husband and I both work out at the same box and have kept up with a healthier lifestyle and setting good examples for the kids. It’s amazing how much your life can change with a little exercise and dietary changes.
• I’ve been diet coke-free since August, which is huge for me considering I’ve been drinking that stuff since I was around four. (I know, I don’t blame my parents though, times were different.)
• The kids are HUGE. I can’t believe how fast they grow up, I wish I could just freeze time.

What’s going on with you? What are you thankful for on this first Thursday of November?
