Thanksgiving. Starting up the Blog...

For some strange reason, I've really wanted to blog lately. I mean eveeerrryyyy girl here has one. So I just want to be like everyone else, go figure. Plus my life is so cool... people will just be dying to read all about my crazy adventures. Kiddin... but really.  If you go back, I actually started this blog when I was living in South America, but haven't posted since... we'll see how often I even write in this thing.

To start this blog off... 
Since November is the month of giving thanks, this past month, I wrote down the thing I was most thankful for that particular day. Here's my list!

30. I'm thankful for warm fires, apple cider, and santa!

Overall, I'm a pretty lucky girl with a whole lot to be thankful for. Throughout my life, I've come to realize  that when I do the things I should be doing, treat others with kindness, and trust God, everything always falls into place. Sometimes things turn out differently than we expect - but every single day, we have something to be thankful for. Even if we are going through a hard time, we should be thankful for the trials we are given, because without them, how could we ever know when we are truly happy? 

Hopefully this post didn't bore you too much. I really think blogs are weird. Who would even want to read about my life? Oh well. Dont read it if you don't want to!
