Thursday Thoughts

I am so glad that the holidays are fast approaching. I am excited to see my family in one place. It has been a while.

I found out yesterday that my brother will get to fly into Dallas on Thanksgiving day instead of the day after. This news made my week! Though he only eats ham and mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving day, his presence would have been missed.

Thanksgiving is my mother's BIG holiday. Instead of going all over Texas to visit our family, they come to us. I love it. I hope to help my mother cook more this year than I have in the past. Maybe I will learn something!

I have been so good and have only had Starbucks once since the Red Cups came out. My pocketbook is rejoicing. I wonder if Starbucks will be harder to avoid after thanksgiving when all the holiday music is ringing in my ears...

Work has been BUSY lately. We brought on a new partner on November 1st, which is exciting, but I have been so swamped with work that the new partner is not assigning me tasks yet. I am kinda scared about being the support for 3 partners instead of 2. Needless to say, the next few months are going to be crazy.

I always seem to get ahead of myself. (See thought above.) I am trying to take things one day at a time, but sometimes that proves difficult. I am meditating on Matthew 6:34: "So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own." It is helping.

I picked up Crazy Love by Francis Chan again. I am really enjoying it. I don't know why I ever put it down.

I am going to the A&M v. Baylor game this weekend with 4 friends who went to Baylor. It is going to be WONDERFUL but I am a little sad not to have any maroon and white support. I asked my roommate to high-five me if the Aggies score. She said she would every other time. I am content with that. But if any of my fellow Aggies are watching the game, feel free to text me a Whoop every now and then... because I will be surrounded!

That's all I got. Thanks and Gig 'Em!
