Thanksgiving Journal



My Thanksgiving; photographs, smiles, and a list of what I'm thankful for.


No alarm going off in the morning

The gift of another day


Bright sunshine

A quiet house

Precious family

My mama’s smile

Reading my Bible

Once again realizing that Jesus chose to save me. He saved me.

Wilson, my MacBook Pro


Wireless internet

Planning get-togethers with my CollegePlus! friends (San Antonio in February... Here I come!)

Good-morning hugs from my baby sister

Bagels and cream cheese

Coffee...

Playing card games with my siblings


Hot showers

Cozy sweaters

My Mama's camera

A Thanksgiving e-card from a friend far away

Listening to the first Christmas songs of the year

Curtis’s incredible orange-striped shirt


Physical discomfort, teaching me true patience and thankfulness

Sweater vests on sale

Sweet sisters and wonderful friends; Hannah & Emily and Courtney & Rachel

All of my friends and pen pals. You girls know who you are. These are the girls that are just a phone call or an email away. I can laugh with them, chat with them, cry with them. These girls are a blessing to me in countless ways!

Adopted big-brothers-in-Christ through CollegePlus! who are not only amazing friends, but they encourage me and are the big brothers that I never had.

Bread cornucopias (My mama makes one every year on Thanksgiving)


Mugs of hot tea

Inside jokes

Laughing until my sides hurt

Adventures

Helping in the kitchen

Our bountiful meal


My CollegePlus! coach, Kaitlyn

REA Study Guides and the LearningNetwork, without which I could never have hoped to pass my CLEPs

Watching Tangled as a family

(It was a slightly scary part of the movie for Cora...)

Late-night movies with Mom and Dad

Chatting on the phone with my CP! sister, Hannah

Waiting to hear the outcome of an amazing surprise :)


I am thankful for so much, but, most of all, I am thankful for the life that God has blessed me with!


What are you thankful for this year?

Cassie said...

Kyla- We do need to talk soon. When? Where? Just say the word, girl and I'm there! :)


Jocee- Yup. My Mac is Wilson. My laptop was without a name for months, but, once I watched the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks I was inspired.

Courtney said...

You guys are playing Monopoly Deal!! :) I loved your post....it brings back such great memories of our time with you all!

BTW - so glad to find someone else who names their laptop! My laptop is Leonard. My first laptop was Larry. There is a story behind the "L" names. But my laptops always have to start with an L.

Oh goodness- what a wonderful list... Honestly I am grateful for so much! I do not even think I could begin to list them... but actually most of the things you listed on your list- would be on my list. :)
