Gobble Gobble

So, excuse my laziness for not posting a blog in a long time. The past month has been completely consumed with working two jobs, going to school full time, training on Matt's base plan and packing and moving back in with my parents. It's wild to think how much stuff I have consumed over the years but I have managed to consolidate some of my things. I am currently in a small town outside of Indianapolis spending the holiday with my mom's side of the family. I am having a blast, I was able to ride my cousin's horse, eat amazing food and see some of the people I love and value the most.
Thanksgiving in the past has always been a day of binge eating and relaxing on the couch watching the parade and Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation. This year I am thinking a little bit differently. I have begun a new chapter in my life. I feel it is more productive, more sincere and more driven. I have come back to my faith and found a really special man to think about. So this year I am also reflecting on the things I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for my trip to Guatemala, two successful art shows, making it to church almost every sunday this year, taking a safe trip to colorado and meeting some of Matt's family, my parent's, my brother's, a few wins on the mountain bike before, during and after a collarbone break, finding out I am almost done with school, I am thankful for my health and all the things I am learning about myself and others, I am thankful for the health of my Uncle Bruce, spending quality time with both my grandfathers. and many other things I cannot think of right now. I feel like God has granted me with new eyes, allowing me to see the world in new light. Thank you all who have impacted me this year. I love you all.
