<3

Since it's Thanksgiving break, and since you're supposed to name off things you are thankful for, I figured that this would be appropriate to do while I'm trying to type a paper.  

-I'm thankful that I can fall down flights of stairs, run into coffee tables and doorframes on a regular basis and not die. Health is key. I guess so are bruises because they make cool stories.  

-I'm thankful for my family. That ranges from my dad never being surprised by anything and being loyal to the DV-R to the point that I know that we'll catch up on our shows within an hour of me coming home. My mom's love of Panera and always sending me mail when I'm at school with newspaper articles. Chris and his continued education at Hoodridge College. My grandma and anything that comes out of her mouth.  

-I'm thankful that I finally found a job I love going to. I'm thankful that my checks get direct deposited, but I somehow never see the money I make anyways.  

-I'm thankful for the 609 & the G-Unit. The three of you have been by my side through a ton of shit, and I'm pretty sure that in all of that, I found the people who truly matter the most.  

-I'm thankful for the leaves changing from green to all these amazing shades of orange and red. I'm thankful that leaves are somewhat soft so that when I get thrown me into a pile, I have something soft to land on.  

-I'm thankful for my given family. Twelve letters with the power to bring strangers together to become sisters. First. Finest. Forever. To all of the new girls who already are showing their dedication to the chapter, to the girls who went through it with me from the beginning, to the older girls who made us feel at home, and of course to all of the girls who are leaving this year. I don't know what I would do without you.  

-I'm thankful for sushi.  

-I'm thankful for the thread. Funny, how it's called a thread. I feel like sometimes that message between all of us as a thread that holds us all together, despite the distance and differences.  

-I am thankful that there is always an open elliptical when I go to the Rec. And that no one is ever waiting for one when I hit the 20 minute limit, so I just subtly start over. Shhh.  

-I'm thankful for how comfortable the futon is when we're cuddling and how you haven't gotten sick of lasagna rolls yet. Also, I am thankful for gas ovens that don't cause backdrafts because I do not know how to light a match.  

-I'm thankful for Von Maur.  

-I'm thankful to be doing well in all of my classes. Even if this does mean whispering answers across the row to each other during tests and quizzes.  

-I'm thankful for all of my friends, those who I see once a month, and those who are there to eat lunch with me and laugh. Those who have made a difference in my life this past year, week, whatever. I'm thankful for what we have, and what potential there is as time goes on <3
