Thankful Thursdays

Happy November!

If you're a Christmas psycho like me (you probably aren't), you've already purchased/brought out your Christmas decorations.

I'll admit... as I was cleaning last night I was listening to Christmas Pandora.

So I think it's the right time to stop and realize that Thanksgiving (or all of November) comes first.
And it's time to be thankful for what you have.

Each Thursday, I want to share with you what I'm thankful for.

Two years ago at Formal!

My friends.

Moving away from home, by yourself for the first time is scary. I won't lie.

I can't sugar coat it anymore - it's been hard. I miss my friends and family.

Thank goodness I love my job or else it would really stink.

I've been staying busy with alumnae activities in my sorority and I'm starting to get involved with my church.

If I didn't keep busy, I'd probably be crying every night.

Halloween last year

But even through everything, I have amazing friends that haven't abandoned or forgot about me.

And this week, I found out my one friend is expecting a precious baby girl! 

Remember that post about how I dislike children?

Well, I still am not partial to toddlers. But I've grown to LOVE babies.

And I can't wait to spoil this little angel.

This is from a friend's 21 over a year ago. I was intoxicated already probably.

The person taking the picture was too.. clearly.

I'm not always the best friend, I'll admit it.

Sometimes intentionally or unintentionally, I'll ignore a text or a Facebook post.

Sometimes I get angry over the dumbest stuff. 

And sometimes I'm too good of a friend and I get annoying.

I've never had a huge group of friends. 

I can count on both hands how many friends I do have (hint- under 10.. duh).

I'm truly grateful and thankful of the friendships I have. 

Now that I'm without those close bonds on a daily basis, I'm valuing those from afar.

What are you thankful for?
