Thankful....... November 14th

When we moved into our house in JULY, one of the selling points by the previous owner was the wall heater in the Master Bathroom. Granted, our Master Bath is as big as some people's bedrooms, but for the life of us, we couldn't figure out why this was such a fantastic addition to the house. And we both said on several occasions.... "we will NEVER use that."

Well, when November approached and 6:00 am showers seemed to be getting colder and colder, I finally decided to try out the wall heater... and OH.... MY..... GOSH..... It is to die for.

I turn it on very first thing when I wake up. It lets out a gentle hum that keeps me company while I am lathering up. And when I get out, the bathroom is the perfect "get out of the shower" temperature.

Then I stand by it while I am drying off and it is so delightful.

The kids MUST stand by it right when they get out of the tub. It's a ritualistic thing now.

When I get home from running errands and I am a little chilled, I run straight into the bathroom and stand by it until I am warm.

What a ridiculous thing to be grateful for.....but I really am.

On a deeper level of gratitude....Happy Birthday to our Sweet Grandma Lou who would have been 101 today. I wish more than anything that you could have experienced one of your "bucket list" items..... to be on Willard Scott's Happy Birthday Segment of the Today Show. You were the sweetest, kindest, most positive person I've ever known.

It's November 14th................and I'm Thankful for Grandma Lou and my in- wall space heater

That wall heater sounds very delightful! I'm always cold in the mornings when I'm getting ready in the Winter months. Yay for a wall heater!; November 14, 2012 at 9:44 AM

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
