Thankful

And so finishes another semester of school. Next week is finals (cue tears and craving comfort foods), then I get a week break before summer classes. If all goes well, I'll be graduating next July. It's still not completely sinking in.

This year has been amazing. By the last week of January I had a major answer to prayer that caught me off guard (but in an amazing way), I turned 20, threw an adoption shower for my aunt, and voted for the first time. It might not seem like a lot to you, but in the first four months of this year, I feel like I've lived a lot -- which is super exciting since Live is my one word for 2016.

I guess if I had to use one one to describe how I'm feeling, it would be thankful. God has sent so many blessings my way and it's a little overwhelming. I can't even begin to count my blessings. But I can try.

I'm thankful for....

friends who really care

warm weather
