I am thankful for a few things.

Including, but not limited to...

big meals with friends that are more like family :: family that feels at least a little closer with a phone call :: a free ticket to see that family in exactly a month :: liz and james getting married on new years eve :: skye and tim on the 5th :: chau and danny on the 26th :: a trip to europe with a whole bunch of people that i can't wait to be on the other side of the pond with :: "job(s)" that allow me to travel like that :: a schedule that never really asks me to be anywhere before ten, but a body that wakes me up at 7 :: new roomates - murielle, sarah, ally and renee :: seth, skye, chau, nathan, natalie, ini :: closed doors :: my dad's one year anniversary from cancer this week :: jay and danielle :: god tearing me apart and slowly building me back up :: apple crisp that is in my tummy :: vli (a blessing in disguise) :: learning to say no :: the ability to take pictures -- not for money, but just to capture a moment :: that somehow I can pay my bills and have random days mid week where I get chinese food and walk around cherry creek with friends :: that i've been crying and laughing in equal measures and with equal intensity :: vintage pictures at the antique mall :: the way that those pictures let me escape and dream :: the few people who know me and who's character has been proven over time -- I'm lucky to have them so near :: knowing that they won't all be around forever, but being able to savor the moment :: imagining where all those people will be in ten years and what god has planned :: dreaming about where i will be in ten years :: dreaming at all :: sabrina ward harrison :: bobby and missi :: pete, amy, elliot and kai :: brad and kate :: the way all those people show a great picture of reality and marriage :: my parents (more than I ever have been thankful for them before :: that god doesn't seem to answer all my prayers :: the prayers that he does chose to answer :: unresolved storylines :: resolved storylines :: hope ::

Jesus.
