My Thankful List

Wow. I haven't posted since November 4. And it seems like it was just yesterday that I finished typing up that short blog post. I don't know what's going on, but right now my head is still spinning at about 100 Hz (but by God's grace the Thanksgiving break came at just the right time to slow me down and give me a chance to catch up on life).
I had a great Thanksgiving day. It's always nice to stay at home and be reminded by how blessed I am to have the family that I have. There's something about this day that just brings out those grateful feelings in me (which is weird because I usually am not sentimental at all). So maybe for today's post I'll just write the ways that God has blessed me and what I'm thankful for, since I'm in a sappy mood and won't mind doing such an unoriginal thing.
So, without further ado, here's my list:

I am thankful for:

1. Moving from Las Vegas to Colorado (I realize that God's plan was for me to be in Nevada, but I would rather be following His will in Colorado than in Las Vegas :P ).
2. Sweet potatoes (mmmmm).
3. The gift of music.
4. God's purpose for my life (even though it looks really funny to me sometimes).
5. Microsoft Office Excel (I wouldn't have made it through this semester without it).
6. Snow (that powdery-white stuff that I've gotten way less of than I expected when I made this move).
7. My loving family (I feel sort of bad for putting this one so low on the list, but just for the record, numbers on lists don't mean anything to me).
8. Words (and a marvelous God who gave me the ability and provides the words for me to speak).
9. My down blanket (which I'm about to grab because I'm freezing right now).
10. That my commute to college and work is only ~25 minutes (as opposed to 45-60 minutes in Las Vegas).
11. Hoodies (can you tell that I'm cold right now?)
12. Christmas music (and finally having an excuse to listen to Christmas music).
13. My musical instruments
14. Finding a family-integrated church and meeting like-minded believers so soon after we moved to Colorado.
15. Being able to go to college (and do that while still living at home with #7).

I know I could list a whole lot more than this, but I'm tired and I'm so thankful for my warm bed that I think I'll call it a night (it's a night!) and post this list like it is.

Hope you like it.
