So Thankful!

I celebrated Thanksgiving last year by failing a French test and having a meltdown over green bean casserole. Apart from those two things, it was a good day and my dinner was spent with some of my favorite people in Belgium.

This year, as I helped prepare for festivities, I thought about where I was last year, where I am this year and where I could possibly be next year! I must admit it is exciting to think about how I'll spend next Thanksgiving (maybe Macedonia?). I've also been learning to treasure these moments I have because I don't know when they will be gone. Everyday I am given this moment that I'll never get back. Some I will remember, some I will waste, some will change me forever, some will permanently stay in my memory. Each second that goes by is a moment that shapes us.

I'm thankful for these moments. And for these things:
