i head to bed thankful for a great many things, but here are just a few:

• celebrating terri's birthday today. she is such a dear friend, and i am so incredibly blessed to have her in my life. it was a joy to show her a little of how much she is loved.
• earthquake cake
• an overdue phone date with my sister
• a meaningful 1-on-1 with jarrett. a really good conversation, that i think was what he needed to hear. praise be to God for giving me wisdom and the right words.
• a good conversation with tara during the volleyball game
• compliments on my new haircut
• celebrating with abbi over a job well done in chapel
• feeling pretty in my purple dress and boots
• phil & joanna's wedding invitation in the mail
• heading to bed looking forward to tomorrow-i remember a time not terribly long ago, when i would dread work the next day. i feel so thankful to be able to look forward to work.

"give thanks to the LORD for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. to him who along does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever." -psalm 136:1,4
