Oh, how thankful I am!

It is Thanksgiving,and I feel very thankful. Let me take a few minutes, and tell you what they are.

1. Family
I am Thankful for a wonderful family. My mom does more than anyone could know, she is a cook, a maid, and a beautiful mother all rolled into one, she's great and I hope to be like her when I grow up. My dad works very hard to provide for our family. My brother, Cody, well he is just Cody, enough said. and then there's me, just little ole' me.


2. Friends
I have great friends. They are great, uplifting, and helpful. I've made new ones, still have old ones, and lost some, too. It is great when you meet someone and you feel like "This will be a friend for life" and they end up being exactly that. They are all a blessing, and one I am so very thankful for.











3. My life
I don't just mean the air I breathe, and the earth I live on, but I mean the things that go on in my life. There are the funny things, the hard things, and the plain-out weird things, and I'm thankful for all of those! (Just don't ask about any of the pictures, you're better off not knowing anything ;] )









4.My wonderful God!
Oh, what can I say. Who wouldn't be thankful for him? He sent his son to die for our sins on the cross. I have to say ,I should have put him at the top of the list. 

Have a blesses and great Thanksgiving!

as the most wonderful time of the year approaches....

I am excited! Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. I am soaking up fall though. I enjoy the crisp air and lazy Saturdays. This morning I was in my Pajamas until 11:30. It was a lazy morning! I went to eat lunch with my dad while my mom was at market, no not the market like in the old days, some kind of market, though. I got out of my pajamas and curled my hair, put on make-up and wahla! After I got home I decided to have a photoshoot. Here were a few from today!

About a month ago a Bunch of families went up to The Virginia Creeper to camp, and of course ride the trail. On Saturday we rode the trail, well I had a bike wreck, but I'm ok now. I have some scars, but most of those will heal. (The following pictures courtesy of Tessa Brooke Photography, click here to link to Tessa's Blog)

It was a great trip and one of the best yet! Now go sip some Hot Chocolate, and watch Christmas Movies!
