How much cooler can this day get?!
Its Thankful Thursday
my nineteenth birthday,
AND its Thanksgiving!!!!
soo much incredibleness all in one day.. soooo much to be grateful for! :D
1. I am grateful that, although I was an hour late, I was able to skype a ton of my friends and family this morning! I thought it was just going to be my family, but the minute the camera came up, there in my little screen were a million little friend heads all singing me "Happy Birthday" from across the world. :) Its one of the greatest moments of my life!
2. I am grateful that all my friends made it safely back home for the holidays. No snow storm could beat out my buds! :D
3. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to spend these two wondrous events in Moscow Russia. Its, been an adventure! & its one i will NEVER forget! Thanksgiving was held at one of the other ILP apartments. (soooo nice!) They literally live in WALKING distance from the President of Russia, if that gives you a taste of their living environment. :) It was great! We had a turkey, a square pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, a green salad, and some bread pastries! I also brought along some princess sparkling cider to celebrate my day of birth with everyone. It was awesome :)
4. I am grateful for Christmas music! I can officially start listening to it out loud, with out my roommates get agitated. for, "Tis the most wonderful time, of the year!" :D
5. I am grateful that my roommate downloaded 'Elf' so that we could watch it in bed this morning as we ate homemade cheesecake & drank sparkling cider. :) and that I received an email from a HAPPY friend. two best birthday gifts on record :)
6. I am grateful that my family sent me a surprise package for my birthday!! I had NO idea! :D I get to open it tomorrow! hooray!
7. I am grateful that I get to live in some of my heavens today. :)
8. I am grateful that I only have THREE more Mondays, and THREE more weeks left!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
9.I am grateful for my mom & Dad. I KNOW they love me, and I feel so lucky for that. I have been truly blessed to have them as parents. & i love them sooooo much!
10. and, last but not least... I am grateful for the video my friend Shelbi put together. Its a video where she went around to all my friends and they wished me a happy birthday, and then she put it to music, and sent it to me. & its the most amazing thing I've ever watched. I loved every single part of it! & I miss EVERYONE so much! Its an amazing feeling to be so overcome with love. :) & I am so grateful I was able to experience that. I still can't watch the video without tearing up..its just SO beautiful! :D i love it! i love it! i LOVE it! :D
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
