Thankful

On this Thanksgiving day, I thought it would be appropriate to list the top 10 things I'm thankful for. Since I just can't seem to blog regularly, maybe I will just start posting relevant top 10 lists. LOL.

Top Ten Things I'm Thankful For:

10. I am thankful for my house. It is worth all the trouble I went through over the summer! :)
9. I am thankful for my job. It is not always easy or immediately rewarding, but I know that I affect our future while teaching in the present. That's pretty cool, but it also brings with it a heavy (and sometimes tiring) responsibility.
8. I am thankful for my great roommates, Megan and Deanna. Without them, I would not be such a happy homeowner. ;)
7. I am thankful for my church. I am ready to meet more people by signing up to volunteer!
6. I am thankful for air travel. Driving 9 or so hours to see my family would get old quickly. That said...
5. I am thankful for my car. That 2001 Honda Accord has done just about everything I've asked. We've had a few gasoline issues in the past, but overall, it has been good to me, and I think we've got a few thousand more miles of togetherness. :)
4. I am thankful for my Mississippi State University education. GO BULLDOGS!!!
3. I am thankful for my health. I was sick last week with a sinus infection, but that really pales in comparison to people with life-threatening illnesses. Anywho, it was a great reminder of what a blessing my healthy, working body is and how I should be taking better care of it.
2. I am thankful for my friends and family. I have to list these two together because I have so many friends that I love as family and many family members that I am fortunate enough to also count as my friends.
1. I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, without whom the other nine would be irrelevant.

There are so many other things I could list, but that would take up the rest of my posts for the year, and y'all have other blogs to read! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Long Time, No Post

Why, oh, why can't I be consistent with this blogging thing?! It has been a whole month since I blogged last. I've been home to MS twice, celebrated Deanna's birthday with a party, and partly decorated for Christmas. Whew!

I know some of you will say that it is too early to decorate for Christmas, but look, with three of us in the house, it is incredibly hard to line up our schedules! Especially when two of us go out of town for the holidays. It is just not worth all of the decorating work to put it all up AFTER Thanksgiving only to look at it for just three weeks before going home for Christmas. So, we decorated early. :)

In other news, the nurse sent me home early from school early yesterday to go to the doctor. I had virtually no voice all weekend, and then I started having sinus trouble on Monday. Anyway, the doctor gave me two prescriptions and told me I could stay home from school today. Yay! It was nice to rest and actually start to feel better!

I need to be cleaning instead of blogging. My mom, Aunt Tina, and my cousin Deandra are coming to visit for the weekend. Yay! I always get excited when family comes to visit. We will have a fun weekend, and we are going to see "The Blind Side" on Friday night, too! Yay!

Hope things are good for the three of you that read this! ;)
