30 days of Thankfulness: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Day 6: I am thankful for the election of a new President in the United States. I am thankful that I got to vote and my vote counted. I am thankful for being able to have a say in who runs the country I call home.

Day 7: I am thankful for the opportunity and ability to go to class. I had class pretty late on Wednesday (like I do every week) and I am thankful for the ability I have to learn.

Day 8: I am thankful for the opportunity to have a babysitting job. I love the afternoons I get to spend with these kiddos. They make me smile, laugh, and even get ginormous bruises on my arms.

Day 9: I am thankful for Jesus. I am thankful for his never-ending love for me. I am thankful for His grace and how He has saved me. I would absolutely not be where I am today with the grace and love that has been given to me through God.

Day 10: I'm thankful for yummy food. Really yummy food.

30 days of Thankfulness: Day 5

Day 5: Today I am thankful for warm fall weather.

The weather has been foggy and fall like and I enjoyed the high of 64 degrees today. Its nice to sleep in shorts and be able to not wear socks cuz my poor little toes feel like they will chip off at any moment.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 3 & 4

Day 3: I am thankful for Oregon State University football and the win of the Beavers. 7-1!

Day 4: I am thankful for Greg and how much he cares about me and made an effort to have quality time with me this weekend. :) (and help me study for a killer test I have today!)

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 2

I failed at writing yesterday, so this is for November 2nd.

I am thankful to live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Where the leaves change pretty colors. Where we experience all types of weather in one day. Where I get to experience seasons. Where for class, I get to walk around campus and look at trees. Where I have the opportunity to go to Oregon State University.

30 Days of Thankfulness

For November, I like to think of one thing everyday to be thankful for. This year, I decided to share them every day on my blog.

Day 1: my roommates
Since I started college, I had dreamed of living in a cute Victorianish house with a bunch of friends close to campus. Finally, my fifth year in school, this dream becomes a reality. I live with people who are not only my roommates, but my friends. People to pray with, to support me (and support them), and to laugh at all the ridiculously wrong things I hear and do. God has really blessed me with these people.

OSU 6-0!!

OSU BEAVERS ARE 6-0!!!!

Awesome and Awkward Thursday

Awesome:

• SUNSHINE
• My roommates
• 242
• My study buddies
• Babysitting 3 really awesome kids on Thursdays
• Getting to watch ballet class on Thursdays
• Good grades in class
• TJ's Indian Food for dinner
• Organic Lollipops from TJ's
• Laughing at my bad political jokes with my boyfriend
• My boyfriend :)

Awkward:

•  Running into a girl on campus, knowing I know her, and trying to remember her name for dear life
• A girl drinking a fatty bottle of Pale Ale in class. IN CLASS. Seriously? 
• Texting while walking, and nearly walking into my roommate. Literally. 
• The people who think it is okay to talk through the entire lecture. Thanks, I definitely came to class to hear what YOU had to say 
• Getting home and having nowhere to park so I keep driving around the block. Again. and Again. 
• Walking through ballet class cuz I had to pee. My darn tiny bladder. 
• Trying to explain to children that I don't live with my mommy and daddy. I haven't quite figured out how to yet, and every time it stumps them. 
• Opening my door yesterday to a pretty little kitty on my porch that tried to run into my house. Then it followed my halfway to school. 
• The man in my sustainability class who talked about replacing his flushing toilet for one that you cover with bark chips after you do your business. That's just awkward. No thank you.
