I'm thankful that God helped me get through this year. It couldn't have been without His help. In the end I should now have 366 things I am thankful for. I will have to count soon and see if there are 366 things I am thankful for. :) It's unique because I feel thankful for so much more than 366 things. Some days were easy to come up with and others were hard. Overall I love how I made it through this challenge of 366.

Ephesians 5:20 "And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

With only two days to go I'm thankful for my date with my sister. We went to the gym after church and then ate Panera. It is good to hang with Boo and just  enjoy the company of each other as we work out. :) It's a lovely thing.

December 29th

I'm thankful for toffee. I love to eat it. It gets stuck in my teeth some but I still love it! Yum! :)

December 28th

I'm thankful for sleep overs. I have missed my bible study girls so much and finally I am able to spend time with them eating dinner, making shirts and watching movies. So much fun. :) Sleep over with the bible study girls.

December 27th

We had our school over yesterday for dinner and it was so much fun. We had sukiaki and shabu shabu. Now yeah I'm asian but I don't know if that's how you spell it. Either way it was great! :) Yum. I'm thankful for Sukiaki and Shabu shabu.

December 26th

Red Robin...Yum! I love this place so much and loved eating their mac and cheese today. :) I've eaten dinner there with many a fun people and tonight I had the pleasure of eating there with my sis and cuz. Good times at Red Robin.

December 25th

I know this might be a bit cliche but I'm totally thankful today for my dear Savior's birth. Without Him I don't know where I would be today. Christmas is special, but Jesus is the reason for the season.

December 24th

With only a few days left to go for the year 2012 I chose to continue to be thankful. Through my happy times, and my sad times. Today I am thankful for mending relationships  It's beautiful when a family can come together and enjoy their company without arguments. It's a lovely thing, it's a God thing.

December 23rd

I'm thankful for Gin...or Rummy. I really don't know what game my family and I played tonight but it causes us to have patience, but also to have fun. :) It's the little things in life that count.

December 22nd

I'm thankful for weddings. Today my friends Matt and Rachel got married and it's a little bit weird but so exciting. I am really happy for them and am excited to see them begin their life together. As they come together with Christ as their center I know they will have a successful marriage.

December 21st

Airports...oh they can be such an adventure...I loved hanging out with my friend Elaine in the O'Hare airport today and eating airport food, oh and the airplane that actually takes me home! :)

December 20th

Puppy chow! Yum! This was such a last minute decision while finishing up my finals tonight. But I loved it and am so thankful for this delicious mix of chocolate and chex mix! Hip-hip-hooray for chex mix, chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar.

December 19th

I'm thankful for whipped cream! I like drinking liquid heavy whipping cream! I love putting it on pudding. It tastes good on my cocoa! And I LOVE squirting whip cream into my mouth!

December 18th

Email. There is so much that is done over email now days. I think the biggest things is unwanted adds and school information. This can be so helpful as sometimes the email can share with you good deals, also it can help your mom help you during finals week. My email. :)

December 17th

Oh I'm thankful for first day of finals! I completed my first of 5 finals for this week! It's the first finals week at Bethel and such a good and bad blessing. I thank God for this oppertunity.

December 16th

This could be one of the duplicates because I have some missing that I haven't written down but tonight I am thankful for internet. I was able to do so much homework tonight all thanks to having the internet right at my fingertips. While Bethel's internet is a pain sometimes...I am still thankful for it. :)

December 15th

I'm totally unsure of what to write about tonight...I am coming very close to being done with school and this blog of being thankful. It's a constant daily reminder of needing to be thankful for the little things in my day. Each day is truly a blessing and I'm thankful for God's gift of life. It's amazing that I can have this every day of my life. Each day is a blessing in which I chose to be thankful.

December 14th

Midnight breakfast. :) Yummy stuff. And fun stuff. I really enjoyed being an awkward Christmas tree. I love my school. :)

December 13th

Transfer block/limo ride. I went to the Transfer block Christmas party which is not something I planned on staying all the way through. But I won the ugly Christmas sweater contest and I rode in a limo for my first time ever! It was so much fun with so many cool people! Tonight was a great night.

December 12th

Interviews are very interesting. I had one today and really have to learn to be prepared as I go into them. Interviews are different depending on where you have them. You also are unsure of the outcome...but in the end I can be thankful that they are available as it means a job is available. :)

December 11th

Good answers! I am so thankful today for the A I revived on my ASL test. I was really nervous about it and did way better this time around! This is so huge. I am thankful for A's on tests. :)

December 10th

Snow!!!! This is such a new concept to me. I mean I know what snow is and I've seen it but I've never lived in it. And today I will choose to be thankful for snow because one day I will be sick of it. :) Oh yea for the first day of snow!!!

December 9th

I attend such a wonderful church here in Indiana. Rivervalley has been a huge blessing to me as both my roommate and I enjoy attending. We help in the Splash k-3, have met some amazing and sweet families there and I love helping out with REMIX. Overall this has been a church that has blessed me in many many ways.

December 8th

The Chiropractor. It heals my back and makes me feel better. On a stressful day it also allows me to relax. :)

December 7th

I'm thankful for Effy!!!! She get's me and Rachel where we need to go. :)

December 6th

I'm thankful for nerves. Not really the kind in your body that feel pain but nerves like I'm standing on a stage and nervous (no I didn't stand on a stage today...just an example for ya). I really wish I didn't have nervous so much but I know I can get through them. I had nerves when I talked with some friends. I had nerves when I went up in front of the class today for my ASL class and I had nerves when I had to work on my paper. I can feel them flowing through me and it's a pain...but if I didn't have nerves then I wouldn't have major feelings. It's a blessing. I'm thankful for God in allowing me to feel nervous.

December 5th

I went to build a bear today with my sweet friend Jess. It was such a good day to spend with her. We built a camo bear and leopard cat together. It was so much fun. I'm thankful for Build a Bear and the opportunities it allows me to have with such amazing friends. :)

I don't know that I have been thankful for my hair yet. It's getting really long and I just love it. I have donated it multiple times and can't wait to donate it again.

December 3rd

Today has been such a busy day that I have had to take a look at all of the little things. One of my simplest pleasures was finding 5 pieces of pepperoni on my pizza instead of 4. Also because I was busy I didn't have a chance to call  my grandma for her birthday. But, my mom called me and I was able to tell her happy birthday. I miss my family and gathering with them but I know getting though school is what I am supposed to be doing right now. What a blessing. I'm thankful for grammy's birthday and 5 pieces of pepperoni.

December 2nd

I just love me some shakes. I like strawberry shakes best. Well I like coffee shakes too. Milkshakes are amazing! But tonight I made a strawberry shake for myself. It was really yummy. :)

December 1st

I'm thankful for pimples. It typically means that I am stressed out...along with I'm eating slightly unhealthy. If it weren't for these little weird bumps on my face then I wouldn't be the beautiful young woman God made me. Because I have them I know I am imperfect. :) Thank you God.
