Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2006 - Manchester, New Hampshire with Best Friend and her fiance's family


Thanksgiving 2007 - Austin and Houston, Texas with cousins


Thanksgiving 2008 - Washington D.C./Bethesda, Maryland with cousins

Tomorrow, I'm off to Williamsburg, Virginia to celebrate the holiday with my roommate Katie's family.

I miss my family, but I'm excited.

This year, I'm thankful for Memorial Day weekend, because it completely changed the rest of my year.

I'm thankful for this cozy house.

For my fantastic roommates.

For the job I don't love . . or even really like anymore.

For the opportunity to visit new places.

For the healthy, beautiful baby born to my best friend.

And for the Lord's faithfulness to me when I am not faithful.

I'm thankful for clementines and Scrabble and dessert.

For pretty leaves in the fall and making it to the Big 12 Championship.

For wonderful friends and an even better family.

I'm thankful for the Lord's blessings and promises. I'm thankful that He's given me "everything I need for living a godly life".

And I'm thankful my future is in His hands.

Happy Thanksgiving! Be back on Monday!
