Turkey day is officially almost over...

So I'm sitting here bored, and I actually have time to update on how Thanksgiving was. We went to my aunt and uncle's house around 1:00 ant ate. I think the synopsis of what I had is:
turkey
ham
stuffing
mema's mac & cheese
mashed potatoes
green beans
pea salad
fruit
a biscuit
yams
cheesecake (with lots of delicious chocolaty stuff in it)
pumpkin roll
lots of sweet tea

Writing all that makes me really thankful for all that I have. That is a ridiculous amount of food for any person to eat, yet I did it without even really thinking about it. I think we all need to take a step back sometimes to appreciate what we have.

In youth group on Sunday, we had time of prayer for different missionaries, and I got to lead the table for the lovely Kroll and Conner families. I was so looking forward to talk about them and all that they do. During all the time that different groups that came to my table, I really thought about what they have given up to do what they do. It was a humbling experience that I desperately needed. God is so good!

Another thing to add that I am thankful for is that I'm finished (for now) with my rough draft proposal paper! I was not looking forward to doing that at all, but I forced myself to sit down and finish it today so that Matt can help me revise. One more thing that I need to reiterate that I'm thankful for is my family. As many know, my family was split by the church split last year. It was hard for so long to deal with that, but today I felt like we kind of put it aside and had a good family time. My cousin John and his wife Holly came down with the adorable baby James (they have 6 kids together, but the other kids were at their other parents houses). I wish I had taken some pictures. He is just precious. It was so fun to play with him all day, because I don't get to be around babies a whole lot. I'm thankful for his precious skin, his sweet eyes, and his hilarious laughter.

I guess I'll post a photo of thanksgiving from last year, since I neglected to take pictures this year.

Hope everyone had a great day!
