getting better..

This blogging thing is becoming more consistent for me.. who knows if anyone actually reads them? ;-) As Thanksgiving past I just wanted to share some things I am thankful for:

God's unconditional love
Tom
Family
Friends
My bed
Bundling Up
Gingersnap Lattes
Photographs
Warm Towels
...and many many more!

Since this is the last day of November I am beginning to reflect on my last fall semester. It has flown by so fast. I have been blessed to live in this house with some amazing girls. Here is the only moment where we have all been together:


I have enjoyed getting to know my best friend even more and prepare for our future together. God has continued to provide and teach me patience. I have learned what distance means in friendships. It truly has been a wonderful semester and as I look forward to December, my birthday, the last week of the semester and a month of vacation it is bitter sweet.

Another wonderful thing I experienced today was a chat with my good friend Jenn Reill whom I have not spoke with this entire semester. It was a blessing to get to chat up and see how much has changed in her life. It is always nice to have those friends that you can just pick up where you left off, but it is truly awesome when you can still shoot each other the big questions on top of picking up where you left off. It was one of those conversations which made me smile.

As the end approaches and the beginning of a exciting break comes forward I leave you with the thought of snowflakes, dancing hearts, the smell of pine trees and the love of a newborn baby, Jesus.
