Another Tomorrow

As is usual in my life (and especially in my blogging), I'm behind. It is now November 29, four days past Thanksgiving and I'm just getting my "I'm thankful for..." list ready.

But don't worry, even though I haven't made an official list, it has been on my mind a lot lately. In fact, I even made thankful turkey hands with the kids at school during one of my lessons last week. I don't want you to think that I am a completely ungrateful person.

Even still, I better post it on here to give credit where credit is due.



1. My beautiful new niece Cassidy who is tiny and perfect.
2. All of my other nieces and nephews who are also perfect and adorable and amazingly smart. They all have such different personalities and it is so much fun to see those come out as they get older.
3. Getting to see my mom and spend a couple days with her over Thanksgiving break. I love shopping with her and just being there. She's my hero.
4. Knowing that my family will all be together for Christmas. I'm looking forward to it so much.
5. My bff's...I have so many wonderful and amazing people in my life who inspire me to be better.
6. A good car that can mostly survive a deer hit. And that completely protected me from being harmed from that aforementioned deer hit. I feel so incredibly thankful that I wasn't harmed and that my car will eventually be as good as new.
7. A wonderfully talented sister who doubles as my hair stylist and cuts some pretty awesome bangs.
8. A little 2nd grader who walks in and the first thing she says is, "You look beautiful today Miss Camille." Who wouldn't be thankful for that kind of positive reinforcemtn?
9. And speaking of work-I'm thankful for the 5th graders who made me a poster and slipped it under my office door saying-thank you for helping us with our problems. So cute.
10. Okay, I'm thankful for all the little kids that I work with. Being a counselor in an elementary school is probably the closest I'll ever feel to being a celebrity. It's amazing to walk into a room and to see everyone's eyes light up. There's nothing like it.
11. My super comfortable bed (thanks also go to my mother who bought me the super comfortable bed).
12. Diet Coke-which out with I might never survive a day.
13. The internet where I'll be doing the majority of my Christmas shopping this year.
14. The great Savers right by my sister's house where I got a super cute coat for $15 and an almost brand new pair of Nike snow boots for $10 and an awesome vintage jingle bell wreath for $7.
15. The way that skinny jeans make my legs look so skinny :) I never tried a pair before because I thought skinny jeans were made for people who are skinny. And that would be something I'm not. But Chelsey convinced me to buy a pair at Old Navy for $15 and turns out, they look pretty darn good. I may be in love.
16. The fact that my Christmas shopping is going to make me bankrupt because it means that I'm surrounded by so many people that I love.
17. The beautiful Christmas trees (that's right...multiple trees) that are up in our house now and my Willowtree nativity which is also up. Christmas makes me happy.

I could keep going but I better save some of my thoughts for another day. It will motivate me to blog more often.
