New Year, New Gratitudes

January 01, 2013/ treanab

Here is what 2012 gave me: A fiance, a future, a job, and a new perspective on life and living.

Those four things are worth more than any present... they represent a peace of mind that has allowed me to let go in places that needed to be let go of, and hang on for dear life to others that had been neglected.

Feeling blessed.

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Books! I’ve got all of these on hold for e-copies at the Library. If you’re looking for book ideas, and you’re not a turd person, join us on FB at #spiveys📚club @ashleyspivey is a master reader. Master reader-er? She just knows all the things ok? #books #bookrecommendations

What a weekend. Signing off for all the Father’s Day emotional things that that day brings for me. So happy to have had these adventures with my people. #youdownwithlmb #denver #coloradosprings

I don’t have a dad. Never saw one in action as a kid. Never knew how a parent’s eyes could light up by you just walking into a room. Never understood that dads would dance hilariously to make you laugh, hug and kiss you endlessly because their love for you was so overwhelming, stay at home with you full time so that the momma could work, take you on adventures everyday, and adore every bit of you. And then, I saw LB become a dad. And it’s magic. And healing. It’s healing magic. My girl and I are so lucky. #youdownwithlmb @robrich23

Breaking news: my teenage daughter looks a little like me in this picture... if you squint and tilt your head. #youdownwithlmb #lmbandmomma

And we’re the two best friends that anybody could have... @lwbranz #youdownwithlmb #belleemelia #cuteoverload

Our foot of height difference is no problem and not your concern. We probably did this ten years ago and have finally reconnected where my real adult life started. My Phoenix peeps make Phoenix what it is: another place I was privileged to call home. @kendallchester - you the cutest. #phoenix

We legit do life together even though I’m in Denver. It’s quite wonderful to know that whatever the topic (nutty professor or special pushups) we’re there for all of it. Love you gals. Love this place. @vanessae2 @kendallchester @jessn94

We lose our minds a few times in this series. Enjoy! We sure as hell did. #taylorswiftreputation @sammikitch #momswhocandance #momswhocannotsing

Mimi and TT just freaking killing it at Taylor Swift. We also walked ten miles - legitimately. But holy smokes did we have the time of our lives. LONG LIVE. #taylorswiftreputation @sammikitch #thisisthefirstset #justselfiesbasically (We were on the floor but in section P. We magically got upgraded to section D and were basically 12 rows back. Shock and awe people. Shock and awe.)

Adventures with grandma! @stephanierattenbury #movehere #weloveyou #theworldsbest
