Oh the holidays...
It's literally my FAVORITE time of year. :)
I meant to post on Thanksgiving, but I got sidetracked.. i mean who wouldn't with all the hustle of friends, food, football, and family?
This week has really shown me everything I have to be thankful for. I've been so beyond blessed to have grown up in a place like Allen, TX and with the incredible friends and family that I'm surrounded with. I got to spend time with my best friends, Jen and the girls, my parents, brother, and grandparents, as well as my crazy cousins and aunt and uncle. I caught up with some old friends, and enjoyed every second of it.
The week was full of laughter and joy, and peace. It's the little things in life like the hilarious carwash in the wind with my mom today, where we got pink foam soap all over ourselves that stained our hair and our clothes, that make me feel so blessed. Watching my favorite little one year old try to take her first steps and dance for us, hearing my favorite two year old laugh, being with my absolutely ridiculous best friend, and enjoying the wisdom of my grandparents, life just seems so simple.
I needed the simplicity of this week. God has taught me a lot about patience the past few days, and I think I'm finally learning to let go, and give Him that.
I'm excited to get back to school to see my friends, but this week has a super intense workload, prayers please :)
anyways, I'm burning cd's full of Christmas songs... SO exciting :)
love y'all.
