thankful....

My pastor created a challenge for us to think of something/someone everyday the month of November leading up to Thanksgiving that we are thankful for, so here is my list (i only expanded on a few): 

1. Family.   

What would I do without all the amazing people in my family?!  At Thanksgiving dinner with the family, I just sat in my grandma's rocking chair holding my sleeping nephew and looking around the room at my family and I got goosebumps thinking how much I love them. 

2. Friends

My friends mean the world to me.  I rejoice in the differences between my friends and I.  

The differences allow me to grow as a person.  I love each and every one of you!

3. Faith in God

Faith is the strength that holds the bond of my relationship with God.  

God shows me daily how much he loves his children.

4. Education

5. Music

6. Dance

7. Laughter

8. Smiles

9. Hugs

10. Church

16. Alarm clocks :)

17. Different cultures

18. Freedom

19. Advice

20. Photography 

21. Art

22. Theater

24. Compassion

25. Equality

Beautiful Day!

This pic is of my nieces, nephew and I @ Boo @ the zoo! I love them!

How great is the weather outside?! This morning I met up with Allison (a nurse I work with) and had lunch at Baja 600 on the plaza (yum!) We walk in and the manager gives us free cheese dip! (We don't really know why!) Apparently we are kind-of a big deal! HA! Anyways! Lunch was awesome and I always love catching up with Allison! Being as we work days together, we don't get to update each other at work so it was nice to actually be able to finish a conversation! After finishing lunch, Allison had to meet up with her mother-in-law, so I just walked around the Plaza alone and enjoyed the weather! I bought a macbook a couple of weeks ago and I haven't really mastered it yet! While I was on the Plaza, I dropped my new macbook and my old pc off at the mac store to have them transfer files (what a great service!). I also signed up for a one on one teaching session for new mac owners. I really want to get the most out of my mac! After the mac store, I walked over to, you guessed it, Gap! Holy cheese! They were having the biggest sale ever and on top of that I got 30% off (if you want the coupon let me know and I will email it to you, it's good until the 16th)! I saved over $150 today! I keep telling myself I need to stop buying my nieces and nephew so much because I don't want them just to expect material things from me, but I cannot turn down an amazing deal! I got Mackenzie and Kailey Christmas outfits and Ethan two Christmas outfits (complete with shoes and a hat) for less than $100! I was so proud of myself! I'll put pics up of the outfits and kiddos soon! I love being an aunt! I also got a dress for tomorrow, because I have a funeral to go to tomorrow.



My dad's Aunt Doris died (my grandma's best friend) I NEVER know what to say in these situations, so I just don't say anything. My grandma called me today to ask me if I was coming to the funeral, I am scheduled to work, so I called in, I have to be there for my grandma.



Please pray for my grandma (Mary), she's really bummed about her sister's death.

Talk to you all soon!
Becca :)
