after a whole afternoon of opening gifts and enjoying the beautiful decorations and delicious food my sisters had prepared, i came to two conclusions: 1) i am incredibly blessed, and 2) people are so generous. some of these women i haven't seen in several years and others have been friends with my mom, but have never really had a relationship withe me personally. and yet, they gave gifts and advice that were thoughtful, high quality, useful, and much needed.
so just to start a little early thanks-giving, i'm thankful for the women in my life. my sisters know how to make me happier than ever, and learning from the examples of each of these women was meaningful.
and now i'm home again. everyone but me drove back up to happy valley today. thanks to byu's power to declare tuesday a friday, i don't have class this coming week at all. not that i've gone this last week, really... but still. it's relieving to know that i'm not going to class and not missing class this week.
i'm happy to be back with my cats, and my mom and dad, and as usual, my clinging to hailey is already making her go crazy. i'm also already missing my morning run {which always is a little hard to catch at home}. and missing taylor... but not for long!!
