thanksliving

hello all of you,

i'm currently listening to switchfoot's hello hurricane. i really enjoy this album. i don't know what anyone else thinks of it yet, but i, for one, like it.

this past week has been delightful! it contained a pretty long break thursday-sunday. it was a bit strange to have that much time off. there were definitely times that i got sad because i missed being home for thanksgiving, but i think that was just because it was my first holiday not where i normally was.
it was very nice having some time off though. honestly, i read and played guitar a lot of the weekend, and i kept having to tell myself it was ok and that i didn't have to be accomplishing something every second. God enjoys teaching me to relax : ]

So on thanksgiving, my good friend Michelle was in town because her boyfriend lives here. Obviously, her boyfriend is a Broncos fan so he went to the game thursday night, so i got to meet up with her downtown and have thanksgiving dinner! it was so refreshing to see her and talk with her. We got to have a good 5 hours together just walking around downtown and talking about life. Also on thanksgiving I got to skype with my family that i normally am with on thanksgiving, and it made me so happy! i'm not gonna lie, i teared up a bit.

I received two very awesome packages for thanksgiving which made me feel like home wasn't that far. First was from my Aunt, Uncle and baby cousins. (i guess their not really babies anymore, but i still call them that) but this was filled with delicious chocolate [absolutely
necessary] ad other things of that nature and adorable pictures of my cousins which i hung up on my desk.




the next package i got was from my very own family filled with hot chocolates, teas, and other wintery day things.
i just love getting mail : ]

Our room is a bit decorated for christmas now! i made a tree out of christmas lights and green paper (AmeriCorps has made me pretty resourceful) i waited till after thanksgiving to make bronner's throw up in our room so don't you guys worry!

anyway, this week's going so fast and it's going well. still loving every day because each one is so very different.

-there is something for you in each day, it just takes a brave person to get out and look for it.

love,

Abigail; in process
