1) I am thankful for my family. - They are my support system.
2) I am thankful for my dad. - I wouldn't be the girl I am today without him. He has been everything a father should be and more. I hope to one day find a man just like my daddy. My dad works hard, provides, and cares all for us. I am truly blessed to have a father as great as him!!!
3) I am thankful for my mom. - My mom is the best role model a girl could ask for. She is caring and loving. I would be lost without her. Sometimes, I don't show how truly thankful I am. She is always there to comfort me when I am upset, to show me the truth in things, and to overall be supportive in all I do.
4) I am thankful for my brother, Owen. - Owen was one of the first people to teach me not to be selfish. We may fight about somethings, but we love each other a lot. Owen will always be there to make me laugh and tell me all the statistics about the latest football game. He is a handsome, buff, incredible, sweet, kind, and loving young man. I will always love you and be there for you, Owen!!!
5) I am thankful for my sister, Alexa. - Alexa teaches me how to be fun-loving and free. She may be the complete opposite of me, but we will always be sisters and I will always love her. She may drive me crazy with her miss-match earrings, and her outragious outfits, but she will always be my sister and she will always be there for me.
6) I am thankful for my brother, Ian. - Ian will always be my baby brother. He is the sweetest, loving, kind, cuddily, thoughtful 9 year old I have ever met. I will always be there for him, no matter where I am. I know everytime I walk through the door I will be hugged until I can't breath. I will always love you, Ian!!!!
7) I am thankful for the sibling I haven't met yet. - Adoption is hard. I don't know who this baby is, where they come from, what they are like. I will continuosuly pray for this baby. I can't wait for the day when I can see them and call them by name.
8) I am thankful for my puppy, Lillie. - Lillie is an amazing puppy. She is loving and loyal. She is always excited and ready to be near me whenever I am home.

Thankful Day #2
Friends:
1) I am thankful for life long friends. No matter where I go or what I do, I know that those friends will always be there for me. Through thick and thin, through happiness and sorrow. I know I will never have to go through life alone.
2) I am thankful for new friends. For a long time I didn't think I knew how to make friends. Most of the friends that I have are ones that I have had for as long as I can remember. However, this summer and just the few month at ECU, I have come to the realization that I do know how to make friends. So far I have made quite a few.
3) I am thankful for movie dates. I love going to the movies with my friends. I like to watch them laugh at things that aren't very funny and jump/scream at parts that aren't scary! :-)
4) I am thankful for memories. I will always remember the fun times I have had and will have with my friends. Some memories are crazy and some are serious, but all will stay in my mind for forever.
5) I love scandalous and spontaneous outings with my friends. I am not one to just go and do things; however, having the friends that I have, I just have to go along! :-P Sometimes, it is a lot of fun and others I feel like my head is going to explode!!!
6) I am thankful for Red Robin. My friends and I love to eat at Red Robin. It is one of my favorite restaurants.
7) I am thankful for ice cream. I love ice cream in general, but eating ice cream with friends makes it all the better!!!
8) I am thankful for celebrations. I love celebrating the little things with my friends. However, don't get me wrong...I love celebrating the big things too.
9) I am thankful for texting. I text my friends on a regular basis. It isn't so much the texting, but the staying in touch at a moments notice.
10) I am thankful for pictures. The majority of the pictures hanging on my wall and up on my shelf are of my friends.
11) I am thankful for field trips. Going on field trips with my friends make them so much more adventurous and exciting.
12) I am thankful for quotes such as, "It's just a decoration." and "That's a good one coach!" :-)
13) I am thankful for co-op. Yes, this makes me sound like a nerd, but I wouldn't be as close to those people as I am today if it weren't for co-op.
14) I am thankful for Argentina being purple and going through Antarctica to get to Haiti!!! :-P
15) I am thankful for Tae Kwon Do. I would have some of my very close friends if it weren't for tae kwon do. It is kind of hard not to become best friends when you are told to get to know one another because you were going to be partnered for life!!! :-P
16) I am thankful for rainy days and good movies. My friends like to get together and watch movies. It is even better when it is raining. It makes it much more cosy and makes the moments all the more special.
17) I am thankful for summers filled with friends. Some summers my friends and I see more of each other during the school year than we do during the summer. However, during the summers that we do get to spend time together, it is so much fun.
18) I am thankful for missions trips. I really enjoy going on missions trips with my friends. We make friendships that are very close and we get to share the love of Christ while making those friendships!!!

Thankful
It is November 2nd. Thanksgiving is 22 days away. I have decided to choose a topic each of those days, and write 18 things that I am thankful for.
Here is the first topic:
College:
1) I am very thankful for my roommate. Brittany keeps me sane. She deals with my craziness. She deals with my insane studying before an exam mindset. I am so thankful that we already knew one another. Some of the people I have met on campus have not been as lucky has I have been in the roommate department.
2) I am thankful for the knowledge to be able to come to college. I may complain about going to college, but I know that I wouldn't have been able to go to college if it weren't for the knowledge that my parents and other influential adults in my life made sure I had before I came to college.
3) I am thankful for Chick-fil-a. Chick-fil-a makes my day better when I am having a bad day. It also gives me a different option other than cafeteria food!!! :-P
4) I am thankful for my Chemistry Professor. A lot of the other General Chemistry 1 professors are not very helpful, thorough, or pleasant. My professor wants us to ask for help. He goes above and beyond to make sure that we fully understand all the material.
5) I am thankful for a big dorm room. I never realized how much stuff I have and need for every day life. I am glad that our room is plenty big for both of our stuff.
6) I am thankful for Campus Crusade. CRU is helping learn to branch out and make new friends, all while learning about Jesus and how we need to be a shining light for Him on campus.
7) I am thankful for new friends. Finding friends was one of my main concerns when getting ready to come to ECU. I have already met a few friends and am working towards more everyday.
8) I am thankful for hot water. There is nothing like coming from a long day of classes and getting in the hot shower to melt away all the stress of the day.
9) I am thankful for coloring books. Who knew coloring was so relaxing. I love to color while I am taking a break from studying or doing homework.
10) I am thankful for my bed. My bed is always a comforting sight at the end of the day.
11) I am thankful for my quiet times. The Lord always finds knew ways to view His love for me. He has been teaching me lately that I am His and His alone.
12) I am thankful for my cellphone. I call and talk to my mom 2 or 3 times a day. I wouldn't be able to do that without my phone.
13) I am thankful for Hot and Spicy Cheese ITS with Chocolate milk. Nothing more delicious for a late night snack.
14) I am thankful for skype. The other night I got to play a board game with my family over skype. It was a lot of fun.
15) I am thankful for the nice ladies at the dining hall. The ladies always bring a smile to my face and always ask me how I am doing.
16) I am thankful for tour groups. I love watching the tour groups that come to visit. It reminds me that I was just like them not to long ago.
17) I am thankful for Dr. Pepper. Just because! :-)
18) I am thankful for prayer. I am continuously brought to my knees in prayer about my life's decisions. What should I do next? Where should I go? Who should I reach out to?
I hope you enjoyed my first list!!!
