What I'm Thankful For
Yesterday was Thanksgiving, so I thought I would list all the things I am thankful for. :]
My amazing boyfriend, Cale. He has put up with me for almost 2 1/2 years now. Someone that can put up with me on a daily basis must REALLY care about me.
My friends back home, who are always anxious to see me when I come back to Lafayette for a visit.
My family, who is always excited to have me home and are always looking out for my well-being.
Being invited and able to go to two different Thanksgivings, one not even being your own family. Lunch with my own family, then dinner with Cale's family made it a beautiful day.
Having a roof over my head and knowing I have somewhere to go to eat, sleep, and shower every day. There are many people that don't have anything, and I am truly blessed to have these amenities.
The acceptance and warm welcoming of Cale's family towards me. It's great to know his family truly cares for me and basically treat me like one of their own.
Being able to go to Ball State on a scholarship. This time last year, my parents were still going to make me go to Purdue whether I wanted to or not, and the fact they let me go here is a blessing in itself.
The technological advances that have been made that makes living the way it is today, such as cars, television and movies, music listening devices, cell phones, etc.
Everyone in my life so far, past and present, that has influenced me to become what I am today. You guys are the best <3

ReplyDeletegood post emily! :) I've also thought about what I am thankful for and family and friends fall at the top of my list. The feeling of love and acceptance can never be substituted. Have a great break!
ReplyDeletePost unrelated: I just read your paper for the intensive review, and I'm so glad that I got out of public schools the year that I did. The last of the half days. Powerful stuff.
