I'm grateful for: Postcards from friends! It's always great to get something (other than bills) in the mail! It's especially fun when it's a postcard from a friend!

Special thanks to my friend and former travel buddy, Julia, for sending me this awesome postcard from Tucson!!

I'm grateful for: Crossing the M bridge! I always know I'm almost home when I cross this bridge! Feels good to be back in Memphis - home sweet home!


Side note: This is an old picture I took last year when I was home, as it's nearly impossible to get a good picture of the bridge when it's nighttime and you're crossing the bridge ;)

I'm grateful for: Being goofy with my nephew! We like to do things like wear swim caps and goggles while playing maracas!

Most of the day he had on a pair of goggles & he kept insisting that I wear this swim cap. He thought it was SO hilarious, as evidenced by his face in this picture!

Good times, great (goofy) fun! ^_^

I'm grateful for: Reading with Davis! It doesn't get better than this! Reading one of your favorite books to one of your favorite people is the best <3

I'm grateful for: BBQ for lunch! It may not be Memphis BBQ (which is without a doubt the best in the world), but it's still great to have BBQ for lunch! And this place isn't that far off the mark from the delicious eats of my hometown - the guy that runs this place traveled around the US finding what he thought was the best BBQ, and Memphis was of course one of the places that he visited.

He serves up lots of tasty BBQ and has pictures of Memphis on the wall to boot. And if that weren't a big enough reason to like to eat here, the sides are to die for: sweet potato casserole, baked beans, cream spinach, baked apples, etc etc & last but not least, mason jars of sweet tea!

I'm grateful for: Driving! As mind-boggling as it may seem, this is only the second time I've driven in the last 4 years! I really don't miss driving at all, but it is fun to get behind the wheel every now and then :)

I'm grateful for: Home cooked meals! There's nothing quite like a home cooked meal! Lucky for me, my mom cooks dinner when she's with my nephew, which is every Monday - Friday!
