November 22nd

Okay I have so much I want to say thank-you for today.

• Reunion with my sweet friend, Annie. We hadn't spent time together in a lonnng time, but last night she came to stay with me in Charlottesville and we went out to dinner, got Arch's, watched Twilight, and just caught up on life. Seeing her was so great. I'm so thankful for those friendships that just pick up right where you left off.
• Road trip home with Ashley. Our two hours of driving from Charlottesville to Roanoke is always so great. We don't get to spend a ton of time together while at school, so getting to reconnect and chat about life is always so nice. We share everything from school woes to how we are really doing...from newest music obsessions to newest boy obsessions. I'm so thankful for Ash and our time to just chat it out.
• Reunion with two of my Roanoke besties, Sarah and Jenny. Today we went to a work out class together, which we always enjoy because we just complain and laugh at each other the whole time. And sometimes we encourage each other. Seeing them was amazing as always. I'm so thankful for laughter and fun with life friends.
• Reunion with my puppy, Chase. He is the sweetest thing and I have a really weird obsession with him. I just love him a lot. Isn't he precious? So thankful for my pets.

• Dinner with my family at home. I love how we have always made it a goal in our family to eat dinner as a family as much as possible. Obviously, it gets tough with me being at college, so sitting down to eat with Mommy, Daddy, and Catherine tonight was oh so sweet. I love my family so much. So thankful for them!
