365 Days of Thanks - Day 112, 113, 114, 115, and 116

Day 112 -
Thankful for Aggieland.  On Saturday, I went to College Station with my college roommate.  What a blast it was to be back in CS and back on campus.  I was so reminded of what a blessing it was for me to experience college life there and grow up.  I learned so much about myself, as well as making some of the best friends, and gaining knowledge and an education.  Texas A&M is such a special place.  I am so thankful that the Lord gave me the chance and ability to attend a school like that.  Thankful for what Aggieland means to me, being reminded of the close knit family the Aggies are at Muster, and for my friends and experiences I gained there that I still carry with me.

Day 113 -
Thankful for Steve continuing to have good opportunities.  He spent 3 days on a flight trip over the weekend.  And, while it stinks when we're a part, I'm grateful he gets these opportunities.  They not only grow our bank account (after some not so prosperous weeks), but also grow his knowledge and experience.  I know the Lord is giving him all of these opportunities to prepare him for something bigger and better.  So, I thank God for them when He presents them.

Day 114 -
Thankful that God's love endures forever.  Sometimes, we just need to stop and remember that God loves us.  No matter what - God loves us.  I don't deserve it, and sometimes don't see it every second of every day as much as I should, but it endures...forever.  Thank you, Lord, for loving me like that.

Day 115 -
Thankful that Tuesday was over.  One STAAR test done and a bad evening done.  Just thankful bad days can come to a close and new days can start fresh.

Day 116 -
Thankful that the STAAR tests are ovvvver!  Whew!  A lot of hard work, sweat, tears, planning, and grading went in to preparing my students for their STAAR tests, but they worked so hard!  I'm really proud of them, and I hope they showed how smart they are and how much they deserve to shine.  Seriously, though - glad they're over.  Let's have some stress free fun for these last 20 something days!
