i'm thankful for...

Well...Thanksgiving is around the corner! I can't believe it. School is crazy busy with end of semester papers, projects, and tests. It's hard to believe that we only have two full weeks of school and a few days, and then finals week is here! You would think that would be relieving but it's quite the opposite. So much to do before then!

But....I thought it would be appropriate if I put together a list of things I am thankful for. They are in no specific order!

• My parents...they are the best. They always support me in whatever I am doing and they always love me know matter what I do. They are always there for me and would go out of there to help me in any way I needed it. They have always went to all of my sporting events, piano competitions and recitals, and my band performances that they could make it to. 
• My brothers-they are crazy....but I love them. They make me laugh ALL the time and are always there for me. 
• Kelli- I am so thankful to have a such a wonderful sister and to actually have someone on my side! We now gang up on the guys! ;) And she likes to watch twilight and harry potter with me! And she likes to drink coffee with me! It is nice having Chrissy around as well...she doesn't let Dustin pick on me. Actually, we usually pick on him! It's nice to have it the other way around! haha. That and she is awesome and fun to be around. And she enjoys playing Uno attack just as much as me! 
• Jordan...dev and kel's dog! 
• The girls that I live with at the Chi Alpha House. They are the best---seriously! The guys are pretty cool too I suppose! haha.
• My family in general....this includes all of my extended family!! :)
• God's direction in my life. While I don't know how it is going to play out in the future...I know I am where He wants me to be for the time being.
• Fall!! Walking to class today was great. The leaves are falling like crazy....I love hearing the crunch of the leaves! :) 
• My lovely friends from back home and here in Topeka. I am seriously blessed. 
• Coffee! 
• Snow!!!! I love snow!
• Thunderstorms!
• My church...both here in Topeka and in Chanute.
• Pumpkin latte's....delicious!
• Scarves.
• The fact that I get to see all of my closest friends next week....it is going to be one awesome week! And to it off... lots of family time! So excited!
• Tennis (this includes ultimate tennis!) 
• Music--driving around with friends with the windows down and the radio up really loud with a bunch of friends....the best thing ever!
• Late night conversations--they are seriously the best. You should try it sometime!
• The most important thing of all...JESUS. I just love Him. I could go on and on why....but that would take a really long time. ;)

I know....some of those are really random. But the list could go on and on....I don't want to bore you though!

Now I have to go get ready for the Thanksgiving Dinner that is going to be happening at the Chi Alpha house this evening! Yum!! I love thanksgiving food....another thing I am thankful for! ;) Food + Awesome people = in the words of Tay....LEGIT!

So...until next time! And no worries, I will let you know how how the eating of delicious food goes!

P.S. I had every intention to add these photos to my last post, but that didn't happen. So I am adding them on to this one...better late than never right??!

Me with my little big brother, Dustin! :)

The whole family on Dustin's graduation day!
