Tiff's Turn

I didn't have a chance to blog yesterday, but I don't want to miss a day of thankfulness just because I spent the day with friends at the Chiefs game. This leads me to Day 2 of thankfulness: I'm uber thankful for a strong, Christian-based marriage. The two of us have numerous things in common- a love of sports being one of the many. Levi is my rock, my right-hand and my best friend above all else. On Day 3 of thankfulness, a friend posted this. It does ring true. On a day like today, where I woke up feeling like I caught my daughter's cold, it was a dreary day, and of all other things- a Monday.  These things generally don't make a thankful person. Today, however, I would like to be joyful for something as simple as waking up to a new day and living in the present. (Side note: Advil Cold and Sinus is incredible. Take it when you start to feel crummy and it really does help make you feel better!) Have a great Tuesday!

Happy November, everyone! You may have noticed that in the past, people have used Facebook to to tell the world what they're thankful for every day of the month. Let's continue this tradition right here at Tiff's Turn. :) For November 1, I am dedicated this day to my beautiful miracle baby. I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems cliche, but every parent knows that "They grow up too fast." She's no baby now. She makes me laugh every day. She lifts my spirits whenever I need it. She reminds me that our God is greater than any battle we face. What are you thankful for today?

You know what they say. When it's good, it's good.  A good job. Good family time. A good baby girl!                                                    Good music. Good milkshakes. A good ride. A good city.  Good family pics (coming soon). Good co-workers. Good tutus. Good tailgating.  Good photo bombs. Good memories. Good fans. Good hot cocoa. A good win. Go Royals!!!

I'm blogging during a Royals play-off game. It's true. I would like to get the blog done tonight though, and we all know how late these games go! My friends and I signed up for the 6th annual Pink Laundry 5k . The group decided to teach ourselves how to make tutus so we could rev up the pinkage for the race. I was so happy with the tutu I made... that I decided to make one for Aria. Pleasant Hill colors, of course! Homecoming Parade On race day, the group looked fabulous! We even ran into (no pun intended) a group of Pleasant Hill fellow teachers. The race went well. It was a cool 40-ish degree morning, which is the perfect temperature for running, in my opinion. Here is a picture story of the race: pre-gaming half-way-done selfie Aria goes to races for the free food. Georgia got 2nd place! My favorite girl in the whole world! I love race days! Have a great week! And go Royals!
