Blessings

I cannot believe this semester is almost over. I can finally smell the aroma of May 2019 graduation. So many life events have been paired along with this semester. We bought a house and moved to a new town. I started a new internship at a new church. We are still navigating our first year of marriage. Many good and busy things have happened.

When I started this journey, I did not have much. I packed up everything I owned, claimed furniture off of the side of the road, worked whatever jobs I could find, and relied on food stamps to eat. So much has changed from then to now. I cannot believe I am married, have 2 dogs, and live in a house that we own!

Thanksgiving just passed, and I think I have a lot to be thankful for. I consider all of these things to be blessings- blessings paired with hard work, but gifts to be thankful for nonetheless.

Let this be a short blog of gratitude.
