Thanksgiving

After a year of so many ups and downs, I have a lot of things to be thankful for.

I am so thankful for:

-each morning that I wake up in my own bed

-being able to go to school each day

-little hairs that are growing on my head and all over my body

-hugs from Mike

-the support and prayers of family and friends

-being able to worship freely

-all the many freedoms that I take for granted in this great country

-kisses from my cuddly little Elliot and wild crazy Phyllis

-all the many material things that I do not need

-the fact that Jesus died on the cross to forgive my sins

-eating dinner with Mike and his kids

-the sun that shines

-and many, many more things...

I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy time with your family and friends!

Moving

I have been so busy lately with all the craziness of normal life that I haven't had time to update you all on what has been going on. Sorry!

School is going really well. We just finished the first trimester, which mean that school is 1/3 of the way completed. It seems like it just started. We had parent-teacher conferences last night and this morning. It is always neat to meet parents; to see where the kids come from.

I am moving out of my apartment this weekend. I bought a townhouse! Closing was this afternoon, new carpet and flooring will be installed Friday, and the movers are coming on Saturday. It is going to be a busy weekend! I am very excited though - a place I can start to call home. When I am settled in, I will try to figure out how to put pictures on this blog.

I am feeling really good this week. Last week was a little rough. I had really bad stomach aches and got scared so I went to the doctor. He assured me that I was fine and told me to slow down on my working out and to drink more wate. I'm not sure if it was stress, if I was fighting something off, or if I have developed some food allergies. One of my friends referred me to a naturopathic/holistic doctor. By an act of God I was able to secure an appointment with her for Saturday. I say by an act of God becaue when I called her office, the first available appointment was in mid-April. Luckily, my friend took me to her health food store and she was there. So, after explaining my situation, she told me that she had an opening and I was in.

Please keep me in your prayers, as I am going to be very busy this weekend. I will try my best to keep you posted on what the doctor tells me Saturday.
