Hallelujah!

FINALLY!!

I am officially on Thanksgiving break!
That makes me majorly excited for various reasons.
It makes me excited that it means I get a break from classes for the next several days, and it makes me equally excited that I am officially done with the Fall of '48 campaign, so I can rest up and organize my schedule for A Very Vintage Christmas.
It makes me outrageously excited because it means that I can officially start celebrating and decorating for Christmas on Saturday, and it's common knowledge that I get a little nutty over Christmas, because we all know that I am basically a Christmas elf who got switched and sent into the muggle world at birth...that's how that works, right?
And finally, it makes me excited that Thanksgiving itself is on Thursday, which means I get a lot of wonderful and tasty food, and I get to spend quality time with my friends and family. And speaking of Thanksgiving, which makes me think of things to be thankful for...I haven't done the whole Thanksgiving/Things I Am Thankful For countdown on Facebook like most of my friends have, but I have been thinking about all of the things I am blessed with, and there are so many of them.
I'm so blessed to have my family, my second family, my friends, and everyone else who bends over backwards to help me when I need it, whether I just need a good laugh, or I am really in trouble. I'm also pretty lucky to have teachers, counselors and other new friends on campus who care about my well being. And I'm equally thankful for my church family, because they are just as important as my actual family--you can't get through life without spiritual support from those around you, and I have been beyond blessed to find peace with my church family over the last year, in the church that I was raised in and that my grandpa preached in. And the number one thing I am thankful for is God, and the fact that He cares for me and has a plan of salvation for me, and the fact that every single day I wake up to His grace all around me. I think it is pretty safe to say that I feel like I have quite a bit to be thankful for this year.

Anyways, now that I've typed up a post so sappy that most of you probably won't get through a full paragraph, I'll be signing off, wishing you a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving!
