Tonight as I was packing my bag in preparation to leave tomorrow for break, I picked it up to see how heavy it was...and said to myself, "Hm, Self, you probably have about 20 pounds to go..." Then I had to step back and laugh to myself...alas, this time, I am not flying to my destination!! :) So tomorrow I am heading out to my cousin's before we take off to meet up with the rest of the family. Have I mentioned the fact that I have been looking forward to this Thanksgiving for an entire year? It will be very difficult to top last year's Thanksgiving with Cori where we spent hours on end in the kitchen and seriously cooked enough food for the whole apartment building, but that is in a league of it's own I think. :)

Anyhow...here are some things I will miss this week if I can't get back to my computer...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (for real this time!) to my buddy PHIL!! :) (On the 24th...refer to Nov. 4th if you want to see who Phil is!)

and

HAPPY THANKSGIVING on that same day to y'all. ;) I hope you all eat lots and have much to be thankful for.

I was going to write a list of things that I am thankful for...but I think there are too many and to limit myself to only 10 or so just won't do justice to what God has done in my life over the last year. :)
