i love spending quality time with people i love. God is good.

and that’s really awesome because i couldn’t go home for thanksgiving.
i was really bummed.
my mom called the day before to tell me she was cooking and to hurry up and leave atlanta…
that it would be ready when i got to pensacola.
i love her… she’s cute.
but it also made me sad… first thanksgiving with no immediate family.
makes me feel so disconnected sometimes.
i feel like such a baby sometimes thinking how much i really miss my family.

but… thank God for church family.
i spent thanksgiving with my church… it was amazing.
about 20 people and a wonderful dinner, most of which was made from scratch.
that is amazing!!! and it was extremely delicious.
they are amazing people. all of them.
all transparent. all great examples of christians.
so full of God’s love… and so on fire for God’s purpose.
it really shows in their lives…
just real.
it’s been nothing but a blessing.
i mean… it helps me keep my faith in Him
and more importantly…
other people.

after that, it was off to dawsonville to visit my bffs.
i love those boys so much. they’re just a great bunch of guys.
(and i do mean bunch… 6 in 1 house)
i also met some great family and friends who were visiting…
some really great girls.
good talks about God and life.
t-shirt making.
risk and scrabble.
liono and gunner… the new milo and otis.
photo adventures.
awesome music. and i do mean “awe”some.
an engagement.
tetris.

i didn’t come home all weekend.
i didn’t want thanksgiving to end.

among the other things going on in my life that i frequently want to forget about…
…i have so much to be thankful for.
and i thank Almighty God for all of it.
