I decided to not number my posts anymore because I get so far behind that I get depressed when I see how many days I've missed.
Anywho, for all the days that I haven't had a chance to post... I've still thought about what I'm thankful for... and that TOTALLY still counts.
Over the past week I was thankful for...
Guys who hold doors open for me.
Everyday after my morning preschool job I have to take the
lunch cart back over to the main school's cafeteria.
It's large, loud, cumbersome, and obnoxious.
You push it one way, it goes the other.
Not to mention teachers shut their door as I roll on by because it's so loud.
It's my least favorite part of my day. On Monday, as I reached the cafeteria doors
and tried to hold onto the cart, get the key out of my pocket, and unlock the door,
a dad who was inside the cafeteria ran over and held the door open.
So simple, yet so appreciated.
Libbie and our entire lifegroup.
On Tuesday I got to spend the entire afternoon with Libbie at her NEW apartment!!!!!!
We hung out, talked, laughed, and ran a ton of errands (all while singing "Write It In Lights" over and over).
Libbie and I are both in the midst of these crazy, busy, ridiculous seasons so we don't
have a TON of free time. Therefore the time we do get to spend together is so precious.
She is just so incredible. She has one of the biggest hearts for everyone. She is hilarious
and she is just wonderful. I'm so thankful to be walking with her in this season.
That night our lifegroup came over for our "Thanksgiving" dinner. So great. Delicious food.
Great fellowship. TONS of laughter. And worship music. We couldn't have asked
for a better night. I love every single one of those girls and am so thankful they are in our group.
Girls nights.
Thursday night I went to O'Leery's for the first time with my old roommate Andrea.
I don't get to see her very often so I was incredibly thankful for the few hours we got
to spend together. O'Leery's was amazing and I can't wait to go again.
I'm thankful that Redding is expanding and getting these great new restaurants/pubs/places.
My best friend Tina.
See, she works in Chico 5 days a week so I don't get to see her.
Therefore, Saturdays and Sundays are set apart for us to hang out. Even though
I hate the fact that we don't get to hang during the week I'm incredibly thankful for the two days
we DO get to spend together.
Our two days consist of catching up on everything that happened that week
as well as just hanging out and laughing. Lots and lots of laughing. And lots of movies.
It's great and I couldn't think of any other way to spend my weekends!

Keep going girl! Don't get stressed by not seeing the numbers line up properly--it's a gratitude CHALLENGE. By mere definition of the word, it should be difficult. Don't let how much you've done in a row be a factor in giving up a small part of it. Keep counting the days because they are significant. Write them down on a small corner before bed, transfer them to the blog later. Don't let the blog part get you down. This is something for you, keep that commitment to yourself. I say this because... I'm also having a hard time keeping my own gratitude challenge going (so funny we started these at similar times, also I'm writing mine in that notebook you gave me!). I miss you lots and hope we can see each other during winter break? I know you're busy so don't worry if you can't, but going to a pub with you sounds awesome. <3 <3 <3
Chelsey, thank you.
I had kinda a rough night last night and this just made my day. You are great and I'm so sad we haven't been able to stay in touch like we want to. Life is just ridiculously crazy. Yes. We will get together over Christmas break. And we will go to the pub. It's so great. I'm glad you're using the journal!!!!!!
