things I'm thankful for thursday

the laptop, my dog, a great thanksgiving, school, my 12 megapixel camera, french fries, Michael Buble, memories, the christmas season, julian smith, musicals, old movies, laughter, brownies, my family, My Bible, this quote,

“For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

And much, much more to come next thursday and the thursdays to come. :)

I think this is quite a lovely idea.

Okay, so it really is early early thursday morning... the blog is saying it's only nine pm wednesday. hmm...

The Spirit in the spirit... or something like that...

  So for the Thanksgiving/Christmas season, my church has really brought out the excitement and celebration in the occasions. We sing a lot at church, and it really makes me feel closer to Him. I know lots of people can go to church and say they got a lot out of their class or the sermon, but I believe that singing is a huge part of gathering in church and getting on a closer level with our Savior. I don't know, maybe it's because I've been brought up in a musically inclined family, but I think it's also just my way of releasing anything negative from my day. But whatever the reason, I am so much in the spirit of Christmas! I was for thanksgiving too! No, I haven't written out a list of what I want for Christmas, or worried about getting shopping done. Of course I've always known the true meaning of these holidays, but now there's just so much more to it. I don't know. Lol. Anyway, I have been working on Julia's present... it needs a few more things but it's really coming along!

 One of the big problems here in Michigan is that they have absolutely no Ohio State memorabilia... I wanted to buy some, just to be a rebel, but there's pretty much nothing to buy. Oh well. I'll just have to wait until I visit Ohio again. :/ I've been trying to upload photos, but my computer is just too slow. Sorry! Gotta run,
