it has been quite a year. i keep thinking about where i was exactly a year ago, and i would have never thought that i would be where i am today. but despite the ridiculous ups and downs i have experienced, i have much to be thankful for, and this list, well, it's only the beginning. i couldn't possibly list it all.
God. grace. love. my family. having a job that i enjoy and am actually passionate about. roommates who can't fall asleep because they just keep laughing. rainy days. my car, which is still running even after many miles and a long road trip to its new home. new drivers licenses with decent pictures. fabulous haircuts by emili. my cell phone. long distance friends. hot showers, a roof over my head, food to eat, electricity and running water. having a relationship with my brothers. sweaters. new experiences. sunset cliffs. the beach. sunshine. flip flops. being only a plane ride away. having a chance to start over everyday. fun emails from friends. chocolate chip cookies. blankets. knowing and being known. mint chocolate chip ice cream. santanas burritos. watching football even when my team isn't doing very well. finding out what seasons are like. growing. having memories to hold onto when i'm lonely. laughter. each of my friends and the unique thing that they each bring to my life. frequent flier miles that make it possible to go home for christmas for next to nothing. holidays. workdays. life.
