Thankful Thursday

Whelp, another Thankful Thursday is here and I'm thankful to have my life, health and strength.  I'm very thankful that Hurricane Irene didn't do too much damage in the Queen City. We had some strong wind gusts but no rain.  That was a blessing because some areas here are still flooded out from all the rain storms we've had this summer.  I know those residents were thankful for a break.

I'm also thankful that YUMMommy is continuing to grow and take off.  I've had a few companies contact me and about working together.  I'm thrilled and over the moon.  So, I hope that you all will stick around and come back often because there will be some really good giveaways coming up soon.

I'm thankful for all the support I have been getting in the Charlotte's Most Valuable Blogger Contest.  It means a lot to have all of you voting for YUMMommy daily.  Thank you very much!!  I'm very thankful that my one year wedding anniversary is coming up the end of this month!!

I'm super excited about it.  Although, I don't have anything special planned yet, I know it's going to be a wonderful day.

Has something happened this week that you are thankful for?

We're Ok

Just wanted to let everyone know that all is well in the Queen City.  Looks like we were far enough inland to avoid any major damages from Hurricane Irene.  We haven't had any rain but the has been very gusty and the clouds were unusually grey today.  I'm thankful that we didn't get any tornadoes or twisters either.  

I heard that Belhaven, a town not too far from us, got some.  I heard that it didn't too much damage though.  So, I am very thankful that this wasn't another replay of the awful storms, tornadoes and flooding we had earlier this summer.  God was certainly watching over us and I am glad.  I hope that everyone else is as blessed as Hurricane Irene continues to make her way up the east coast.  

I will be continuing to be prayerful because we have taken quite the few beatings over here on the east coast when it comes to severe weather.
