Thankful

Things I'm Thankful For This Week:

-My parents and I have discovered that putting dried bay leaves on our window sills bring down the count of incoming lady bug from about 25 a day to 3!! *Magic!*

-Our treadmill died and my dad uses it a lot, and someone at church gave us theirs for free because they don't use it

-Other friends went to their house to bring it to us, and then took our broken treadmill out!

-Good Thanksgiving food - and frozen chocolate pie.

-Breakfast with my friend Katlyn

-Chick-fil-a's peppermint milkshakes

-I've had a cold for almost two weeks, and I'm thankful that I have been at home for it instead of at Starbucks where I would lose my voice for days. This time I only lost it for one since I didn't have to push it.

-Good books.

-This Is Us, and Manifest

-Took pictures last weekend and they turned out good

-Lunch tomorrow with my friend Wilfredo and Anna

-My parents

-A lot of good time with people coming up next week, a much needed reprieve from the past two weeks of hardly seeing anybody

-Friends who pray for me and tell me they love me and give lots of good hugs.

All of the good things!

It actually is the most wonderful time of the year!!

A Moe's just opened last week right by my house -score! I also really like the pizza place that opened right next to my church, Marco's Pizza. I was surprised how much I like it, because I'm kind of picky about pizza.
