Thank goodness we don’t live in a brandy snifter anymore.
Yippee!
We are in our new space. The renovation of our house complete.
We can stretch our arms and legs to their full circumference.
I just walk around like this all day because I can.
There is sooo much space. Just ask our fish — Christmas.
Just what we needed this time of year. Another mouth to feed. But I love him. Meet Christmas Miles. pic.twitter.com/5uBY6P0RZz

Before the move he lived in a brandy snifter. This one to be exact. There was no room in our little apartment.
Today I dumped Christmas into his new, improved house.
He’s not dead. I just checked. Probably just stunned with all that water to roam.
So much to be thankful about.
So linking up with Ten Things of Thankful. (because I’m thankful and they are so fun darn it.)
10. For the first time in 25 years (not counting nice hotel rooms) we are sleeping in a king bed. Yippee.
I was worried that we would grow apart sleeping on a mattress where we couldn’t touch each other.
I LOVE it.
9. My friend let me use her buns. I mean Bunn in our new kitchen.
I LOVE it. Got to buy me one.
8. I can now get up early and not wake up the household. Yippee. Three whole hours to myself yesterday.
Well, the cats still maul me for their food but other than that, I LOVE it.
7. The tankless water heater.
Before the reno, no one could shower within 24 hours of another. Now we have endless — I mean endless — hot water.
LOVE it.
6. A beautiful new refrigerator to destroy.
Not that I plan on it. We just seem to be hard on refrigerators.
5. Two bathrooms for four people — one being a soon-to-be teen.
4. A nice, big beautiful new kitchen.
Not since we were newlyweds living in a new apartment, have I had a new kitchen.
This brings me joy.
3. My new set of knives.
Thought I severed my pinky from my hand — only once.
2. My washer and dryer is not in my kitchen anymore. Yippee.
Yes. They reside in their own little room with their own little door that I can shut when it gets a little crazy in there.
1. My husband is happy.
Yes. He floats around our new space just like Christmas in his new bowl. Every now and then I have to shake to make sure he’s still breathing.
But all in all, we are most thankful.
What about you? What makes you thankful looking over the week that was?
