Feeling Thankful!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and it was the first holiday in quite some time that I truly enjoyed. My sister, mom, and I went to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 again. Just as awesome as the first time. :) Then, my sister and I colored at home while watching A Year Without a Santa Claus. I ended up going to bed really early and cuddling with my dog. It was such a great, chill day.

Today is our real Thanksgiving dinner! It's a day late because some of my uncle's family flew in today, so now that everyone's here, we're going to celebrate! Right now, I'm watching Elf  which, if you know me at all, you know is my absolute favorite Christmas movie ever. Actually, it's just one of my favorite movies in general. So as my Aunt Tracy freaks out while prepping the turkey for tonight, I'm writing to tell you what I'm feeling thankful for today!

I created this nifty collage for my post-of-the-day on Facebook yesterday, but I think it fits very well for this post too! (I'll try to go in some type of order of the pictures in the paragraph below.)

I'm thankful for my hilarious roommate, Haley; my beautiful puppy, Brady; the endless amounts of concerts I get to go to and bands I get to meet; my annoyingly perfect (and sassy) sister; my Internet friends- who have become in-real-life friends; Kenz MY BABY; movies that have utterly changed my life; Anjelica, Annastacia, Sabrina, Manny, Ben, Keoni, Michael; Young Life; my fantastic and perfect mother; my tattoos (and future tattoos); Komiac family; TAYLOR- my longest friend; the building of equality in the world; the 2nd East girls at school (my floor rocks); where I live; DIEFA THE LOVE OF MY LIFE; Shannon and Natasha- who are also great concert buddies; the Disney/Universal trip I got to go on; my Disney girls; and the college I get to go to.

Never in my life have I been this happy and content. Every day when I walk out of my dorm, I think "I love where I live." Every day! How cool is that? I'm so lucky.

And the support system I have? It's crazy! I've got friends back in Michigan; friends in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky; friends from high school in Washington and friends from college here too; and all my Internet friends- some of which live nearby and some of which are from all over the world. Not to mention my awesome pen pals from all over Europe.

I know that an insane amount of people have got my back and that they all want to see me do well in life. It's such a good feeling to know I'm loved. And trust me, I'll love them forever.

It's true that I've been through a lot of difficult obstacles, but all those hardships created the person I am today. And I like who I am- yeah, I'm working on some stuff, but we all are. I'm proud of what I stand for and who I'll stand behind. I'm a work in progress, a lover of life, and a very thankful girl.

Happy holidays, everyone!
