Giving Thanks: Days 3-6

Day 3:
I am thankful to have a car that gets me from point A to point B - even up a mountain and a steep driveway covered in leaves for Shanna's birthday cabin weekend! I unexpectedly had to spend almost 3 hours at the Jeep dealership on Friday having a tire patched and a valve replaced. Even though I was very frustrated and annoyed, I am so thankful that I have my Jeep!

Day 4:
I am thankful for East Tennessee. I always take the mountains I see every morning for granted. While in Gatlinburg this weekend, we did the Sky Lift and saw some amazing views. The mountains and changing leaves are such a beautiful sight!

Happy Birthday, Shanna!

Day 5:
I am thankful for caribeaners. We went ziplining on our way out of town on Sunday. It was SO much fun!! I am already trying to figure out when I can go next. It is pretty amazing that that little piece of metal is what keeps you from falling hundreds of feet to the ground.

Day 6:
I am thankful to live in the USA. I am thankful that we have the choice to elect our President. I early voted so I'm not voting today, but I am anxious to see how the election turns out!

Day 2

I'm thankful for the weekend! This weekend will be spent at a cabin in Gatlinburg celebrating Shanna's 25th birthday!

Giving Thanks Day 1

Each day in November, I'm going to write about something I'm thankful for.

Today I am thankful for employment - both my current job and for my new position that I will be starting in January. I have accepted a Graduate Assistantship within the College of Communications beginning the Spring semester. I am so excited about the opportunity. It will be great experience for my resume! I am also excited about only having to work a fraction of the hours that I currently work. I feel like I'm actually going to be a student again!

I also want to share a few pictures from my cousin's beautiful wedding this past weekend in Charleston, SC. She made such a gorgeous bride and I couldn't be happier for her and Ryan!
