Finish Line

I'm sitting at my kitchen, eating way too much food, killing time until I celebrate the holidays with my friends by, again, eating way too much food.

There's only one thing between me and successfully completing by fifth semester at Pitt State and that is my final in British Literature tomorrow. I feel prepared, but weirder things have happened. Such as playing my last jury ever today! Which was such a good feeling to be done with that part of my life. Music is great and all, but it is not something I want a career in.

Although I am a day early, I'm ready to celebrate a successful semester! Classes are wrapping up and I have so much to look forward to over the winter break, and next semester. I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for a such a blessed and memory-filled semester. You all know who you are, and how much I love you.

Enjoy the snow, enjoy the holidays, and be ready to light that third candle this Sunday.

Totus Tuus,

LeAnn

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for...

I have many things I am thankful for this year, and I thought I would share my top seven with you.
Sometimes, it helps to make a list longer than what you think you have.  Choose a random number and then fill it up, seven seemed like an appropriate number somehow.

1. God.  God is great...all the time! All the time...God is great!
2. My family.  My loud, crazy, exuberant, hilarious, odd, never-ending family.  
3. My best friends.  The people who are my "chosen family", who I couldn't live without.  
4. Second chances.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to try, try again.  
5. Opportunities.  I receive so many of these every day, and they make such a difference.  
6. Music.  This is a bigger part of my life than I normally realize, but when I really think about what I am thankful for, it always comes up.  
7. Today.  Every day is a gift from God, and I am thankful for every single one.  

Happy Thanksgiving, eat some turkey for me, because I won't be eating any.  

Also, tomorrow you have my blessing to begin listening to Christmas music.  

Totus tuus,

LeAnn
