It's been a few months since I posted last. I haven't been very consistent. Haha. This semester has gone relatively good so far. It's been a little rough being that I can't be at home as much as I'd like but it's taught me a lot. I am working at a great location. I love my job now. My mom and I are singing on the 30th and I'm so honored to be singing with someone so amazingly talented! She is my best friend and the most influential woman in my life. I am also excited about making her birthday present. I've had a lot of fun doing it. My sister got to hang out with me for a little while after church today and we had fun making pudding and talking about crazy dreams. lol
I am half way through the semester with a 3.2 average GPA and it makes me very happy. My parents have believed in me and truly helped me succeed! Today in church we talked about wisdom and proverbs in the Bible. I got to thinking about things and how annoyed/frustrated I get by the silliest things.
1. Someone not texting me back
1. Someone not texting me back
2. Not being able to see my mom all week
3. Comments that aren't on my facebook
And I realized that these things are really meaningless in retrospect. If I'm not sent a reply to something, maybe it's because they're busy....And with my mom, I am able to see her every Sunday and sometimes more. I sometimes forget that there are people all around me who don't see their families but once or twice a semester and I see mine every week. My dad is right on campus. And people not commenting on facebook, big deal. I was just letting stupid things bother me. With the holidays coming up, I am finding more things to look forward to and a big one is being around family. My mom's smile lightens the room and my dad's hugs are the warmest I know.....My sister can make me laugh and my brother is so tender and compassionate. I can't think of a better family. They have watched me fail so many times and still believe in me, no matter how much I rebelled. And now I really see things looking up.

So, for each blog post from now on, there will be at least one thing that I'm grateful for. And for all reading this, I pray you will see the amazing things in your life and be grateful for each of them!
