Twenty-Two Thankful Thoughts

This girl is going to be GA bound in four long and hectic days. I couldn't be happier to be flying home to participate in my friends wedding.  Also, I am just plain excited to see and spend time with some familiar faces. Even though my visit will only be for four days it's going to be crazy busy but extremely worth it. The one part of this trip that I not looking forward to is all of the preparation that has to take place before I hop on the plane.

The other day while I was attempting to prepare for my trip home I realized I HAVE MY OWN HOME! I know you are probably thinking "duhhh" but it never seemed like this was home until I had to prepare to leave it. That takes me on to my next thought at the age of twenty-two I have a ton to be thankful and proud of.

Twenty-Two Thankful Thoughts:
I am thankful for.....
1. a loving family.
2. my amazing friends.
3. my "big girl" job.
4. the opportunity to show I can be an awesome teacher.
5. my new home!
6. everyone who has been supportive of my choice to move out west.
7. the ability to have a new set of wheels. [Not thankful for the payment] :)
8. my co-workers.
9. the wonderful group of students that I get to teach Monday-Friday.
10. my parents because without them this blog would not be possible. thanks mom and dad.
11. the fact that I live in a place with amazing weather.
12. being able to get a job right out of college.
13. the start time of my school. (I don't have to be at work until 8:05)
14. the gym. (Just wait, you will understand this one when I see you.)
15. the friends I have made since being here.
16. my parents sending me teaching supplies.
17. a town that is laid out like a grid, so I don't get lost as much.
18. the chance to go home and see my family and friends.
19. a car that gets amazing gas mileage.
20. for my bestie because she is always willing to listen to my random thoughts and happenings in my life, even with the time change.
21. for my East Coast partner in crime. (Without her I would never know what is going on back home. Soon enough I get to see her and get caught up on life. I can't wait! :)
22. Jared's impulsive decision to move out west. (Clearly he didn't move but I ended up with a job and an amazing life.)

I hope my list helps to get you thinking about what you are thankful for in life. Over the past few months I have learned to be thankful for the small things in life even if they seem silly. What are you thankful for?

Yours Truly!
