July 27th

This is one of those days where at the end of the day, I am not sure what I am thankful for.
It has been a good second real day in Boston.
I think today I am thankful for ducks!
Weird? Maybe a bit...
But I took a duck tour today with the family.
It was more like a bus that took us around the heart of Boston sharing historic details and stuff.
It was fun...then the bus drove into the harbor and became a boat!
When have you ever done this?!
Awesome sauce (or as they say here in Boston...) Wicked cool!

July 26th

I am thankful for new sneakers. You never know if they are going to work the way you want to. I needed new sneakers the other day and I now think I should have bought the other pair I was looking at. But hey you live and you learn, and as for me I live and learn with new sneakers while on vacation. I am so thankful for this because in other countries (and even my own) people are not able to have sneakers like I do.

July 25th

Today my family and I took our first real traveling vacation. It was a long day but a good day. I was thankful for the safe travels that God blessed us with. It is so fun to be in another state visiting family. I am pretty sure that I will have a great time on this vacay....even with the ups and downs that I am sure we will go through.
Funny story about the word vacay: my bible study group and I were talking about vacationing and I said when I text people I want to use the word vacay instead of vacation. But Idk how many people really know what it means in Easton language. I think it might be spelt differently to some people too. My group said spell it the way I want...so instead of vay-kay, vakay, va-cay, or even vaca (cow?) I will spell it the way I feel it should be; vacay. :)

July 24th

I am so thankful for stalling. It is amazing what I can do to get myself out of packing. ;)

July 23rd

I am so thankful for shopping. Now for anyone out there who doesn't know me much...I really don't like shopping. But, yesterday and today mom and I went shopping. It was a mixture of necessity and college shopping. I look forward to finishing my college shopping next month when I am in Indiana. :D

July 22nd

I am thankful for being late. Yes I know this sounds weird because I really don't like it. There was a lesson taught to me today. I got myself all purdied up and ready for church, and arrived 20 minutes late with my mama. What's does pastor Tim say in this sermon? "Be on time...God's people should be counted on". I want to be a Christian that is counted on. Thus I am thankful for being late...and learning what it means to be on time.

July 21st

Corn...it gives me rashes. It get's me up early in the morning. It keeps me flexible. It helps me stay hot in the summer heat. It's a job.

July 20th

Pennie. She is such a blessing to me (and not I am not talking about my cat). Pennie is my best friend's mom who has been such a dear to me. She is going to be taking my first suitcase back to Indiana. I am sure this will be one of many. :) Thanks Pennie.

July 19th

Junk food! It makes the world go round... literally. My stomach has been growing and I have to hit the gym. I have a goal of losing 10 pounds by the time I leave for college. Idk if that is going to happen seeing as I leave in 33 days. But junk food is all I ate today. I am thankful for it...and at the same time I hate it.

July 18th

Lessons. Today I learned a valuable lesson...from my uncle (who's birthday was yesterday).  He is wise and I thank God for his wisdom. I love my Bible study group...and sometimes you just have to go with what you do not know. You were meant to learn a lesson too. Blessing on finding out what it is. Just be warned, it might require some grace.

July 17th

I am thankful for my uncles birthday. I live with my aunt and uncle a bit because of school. It is so much easier to stay with them and I am thankful especially for my uncle and celebrating his birth.

July 16th

Okay so for you who know. Yes, I am 21. And I went out with my friend Rachel tonight for a drink and to celebrate our birthdays at Red Robin for dinner. It was good.
#191~Not getting drunk (or not even finishing a drink).
Life is better when you enjoy it as it is. Safely, and with good friendly company.

July 15th

I loved today. I pulled off a surprise party for my mom today with the awesome help of my family. I am so happy that everything tonight worked out. It's fun to have surprises sometimes...and others not so much. But tonight was a good one. :)

July 14th

I am thankful for my mom's birthday. It was a great evening with her. :)

July 13th

 I am thankful for feet. :)












A family friend tonight said that my cousin and I have feet that look like we are related.
They are such a blessing. Who would be thankful about feet, but it is so amazing!

#187~Twilight
Okay no I haven't read the books and not I am not addicted to the movies...but tonight my small group got together to watch Twilight movies 1&2. It was fun. Here are some of the things I said tonight and some of the really lame things I will quote one day to see what the persons reaction is.
-Just keep it real (son).
-You better hold on tight spider monkey.
-You give me everything just by breathing.
-I've gotta go. I've got a vampire to kill.
-"You're the hero so shut it. Just deal with being a super hero. You sparkle."

For His love never Ends

I am a little slow in posting this I am sorry. But I am thankful for the drive I got to make home when I didn't really want to. I forgot my water jug there...and had to have it for work today. It was a pain, but something that I had to do. Ended up being not to bad. I was able to drop stuff off at home and get my water jug and fill Frap up with gas. :)

July 10th

I am thankful for Mexican food! :D I worked 8 hours today 6-1:45. Dad let me add on lunch because I hadn't eaten lunch that whole time. I had a bagel early before work and then a peanut bar thing to hold me over in-between. It was a long morning, but my Mexican food from Martha's made it all better. :)

July 9th

Today marks my half point in Attitude of Gratitude:For His Love Never Ends. It is so awesome to find things to be thankful for every day. Like I have said before some days are harder than others but I can always find something. Today I am thankful for doctors visits. I had a physical today so I can go to college. Kinda weird but good I guess. I am healthy! Woo hoo....I do need some shots, but I guess I can learn to be a big girl. Maybe when I get my shot they will give me a lolly pop. :)

July 8th

I am thankful for the toilet. Okay this might not be what you think but I am sitting on my bed and need to use the restroom (no now that I am 21 I am not a party girl...in fact I don't like drinking). So anyway...if there wasn't a toilet I couldn't easily go to the bathroom. In some countries toilets don't flush toilet paper. Sorry this is random but what made me think of it was the team came back from Guatemala today and I miss it and I need to go pee..and I think I have talked to much about the toilet now. Sorry. Till tomorrow!

July 7th

Tonight I feel as though I could be thankful for so much. I don't know what to be thankful for exactly. I think I find gratitude in the little things in life...like watching Mega Mind. Wow such a good movie! I am going to take it to sh-oo-ll with me. It is one of those movies that makes me feel contrary to mel-on-cal-ly. :)

July 6th

I like the summer days. They are filled with fun, freedom, and being glued to the couch. I got off the couch for a couple of hours today to go work out. This was much needed. I love the feel of working out. Just makes you feel sooooo good. So anyway I went to zumba class today and it wasn't the best...but still just the fact of working out, gotta love it. Attitude of Gratitude #181~zumba.

July 5th

I am thankful for tv. I slept in today...and then sat on the couch all day and watched tv. It was AMAZING! I don't ever do this...I think that is mainly because of work and/or school.

July 4th

Is it cliche to say that I am thankful for my independence? I love that God has made a nation to serve and honor him. I don't know how well we do it sometimes...and other times we're on top. #179~independence.

July 3rd

My birthday...my cousins took me out for my birthday and we had a lovely time at Red Robin. Then they took me to build a bear. I really like my 21st birthday. My cousins are special to me and I love my birthdays! :)

July 2nd

As I celebrated my birthday today the family just relaxed and watched a movie...while eating Chinese food! Gotta love it! :)

July 1st

My little black dress...I love wearing dresses to church. They make me feel like I am dressing up for the Lord. It makes me happy when I wear appropriate clothing and still look cute. God made me who I am. Today I work my black dress...that has pockets! I love it! I didn't take a pic (sorry). But today, #176~my little black dress...that is what I am thankful for.

June 30th

To be thankful for my back might be weird...but it gets sore because of gymnastics history. It is sore now and I am reminded of how blessed I am even with a sore back. Tae Kwon Do kinda stretched it out and I am reminded that without my back...well I don't know what I would be or what I could do. :)
