December 19th

Wow I’m really bad at this challenge, missed another day. There is an explanation for it though, I mean I might as well justify my actions right? Well here goes nothing, our 16 hour car ride home from Arizona ended up taking nearly 20 hours because the highway was shut down for nearly 3 hours (while we were in the middle of nowhere). Sooooo when we finally got home yesterday I spent the majority of my day lounging around not being stuck in an upright position haha. Then today was pretty busy for me too, it’s 6 days before Christmas and with how hectic life has been I haven’t had a chance to finish shopping so I spent most of my day trying to do just that. Until I got home and realized just how close Christmas was and we didn’t even have our tree up yet, if this doesn’t sum up how crazy life has been lately then I’m not sure what does. Long story short I am finally tucked away in bed and figured it was a good time to catch up on blogging. To make up for yesterday here’s 10 things I am grateful for:

  1. Sleep
  2. That I woke up today
  3. good health (for the most part haha)
  4. Having aunts who take care of us and make sure we have a home cooked meal at least 5 days a week since mom passed
  5. being surrounded by such amazing people
  6. the ability to buy things i like/want
  7. being able to afford gifts for my loved ones
  8. having my own car
  9. not having to make car payments
  10. time to binge netflix series

Four days into my own challenge and I already failed, I promise it was for a good reason though. Today I officially graduated college with my Bachelors Degree, one major change and six years later but all my hard work and dedication has finally paid off. As with anything else since mom passed the moment is bitter sweet, But I know she’s up in heaven celebrating too.

So back to my challenge, I’ll make it up by posting 20 things that I’m thankful for:

  1. Finally graduating College
  2. Having a support system who believe in me even when I doubt myself
  3. Having a close knit family
  4. The professors who helped me grow as a person
  5. Starbucks for helping me find my passion and paying part of my tuition
  6. Coffee for the late nights and early mornings
  7. Starbucks for all the friends I’ve made along the way
  8. All the new opportunities ahead of me
  9. All my past experiences that make me who I am today
  10. My sisters and cousin for being my cheerleaders through everything in life
  11. My parents for being my biggest role models and paving a way for my success
  12. My aunts for being my second and third mom
  13. All the amazing people in my life
  14. Mother Nature for being so gorgeous (that made for a fun Tx to Az road trip)
  15. Being able to relax and reconnect with nature
  16. The stars, moon, and planets
  17. Having the courage to follow my dreams through all the challenges I’ve faced
  18. The financial help I received from my parents throughout the entirety of my college career
