Ok apparently I'm not such an expert at blogging. Because I wrote this at the beginning of the month thinking I posted it but here I am thinking about blog ideas and I saw this one saved to drafts. SO here goes my lazy self using a month old post. However, I feel the content is worth publishing.
So November was sort of a crazy month for me. For some reason, all of my teachers decided that the last round of finals, all term papers, and projects would be due the week before Thanksgiving. Since I was running around like a crazy person and spent the four day break recovering, I didn't have time to sit down and write down a list of things I'm grateful for. And I think Christmas is just as good of a time to remember our blessings. This list is not all inclusive obviously.
Soooo. I am thankful for...

some fantastic friends spanning from Oregon to South Korea who are practically family
