A Special Sunday

Wow, what a sunday it's been! I woke up with heavy eyes and what seemed like bricks attatched to my legs.- tired, tired, tired. Even as I write this my typo amount is emense. I need more sleep! It's almost as if I don't have the ability to sleep in- must have inherited that from my mom! But that's not point.

Anyways, I woke up and off to church we go! The sermon was great! The story of the Good Samaritan. We learned having gratitude is the right attitude. I think I'm pretty thankful but this made me aware of just HOW thankful we should be. Think about it: We have clean water, food, clothing, family and friends. All of our needs and most of our wants are taken care of. And I can't say that about people in some foreign places (i.e Africa) it's amazing how much we take for granted. We all fall victim to this.

After church, I went over to Bailey's for a while. Just a simple run to Fresh and Easy is fun with a friend. We got to her house and had tuna sandwhiches and ate a whole bag of chips! HA!

When my mom came and got me, we left Bail's neighborhood and she said, "I'm thirsty." We all know what that means! Coffee drink! I love hanging out with my mom. We have such a fun relationship, she's not the kind of mom that's your "best friend", but more the mom that's always there. And I think that's a good thing. I need cheer shoes and we went all over Gilbert looking for the right pair, and of course no luck. So we're going to have to order them- grr.

My grandparents came over for dinner and the holiday vibe was alive. The ornaments began covering the tree around 7 and I must say the Christmas tree is gorgeous. The memories those ornaments bring back are amazing. The magic a christmas tree holds is astonishing. All the whimsy and charm- I just love it!

So now I sit here to reflect on the day and smile. Thanksgiving will be here shortly. Good quality time with family and a belly full of delicious food. We'll be spending it in Alpine. A chilly mountain community, just perfect to spend a nice holiday. There's so much I'm thankful for, but my fingers are cramping and that post will have to come a little bit later this week.
