Baked, Stuffed, Blessed

So its Thanksgiving. Wow, this year has gone by so stinkin fast i cant even believe it! While reading fb posts about Thanksgiving, i realized how often i was thankful for just "Friends family and life". This year i realized how much you can truly be thankful for if your thankful everyday.

Over the past year ive been blessed both with blessings and hardships. And i took everything with a thankful heart. Its been a crazy rollercoaster but God has been so faithful and gracious to me. Im sure if i wrote down everything(well that i can remember) I'll be writing forever so I'll only write my top things for being Greatful this year. [:

-For having God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit by my side every second of my life. Nothing could be better.
-For the people who fought for my freedom so i could enjoy all of this.
-For having a loving amazing family. Even with all the rough edges, i wouldnt change it for the world.
-For Devanincus Whitacre -Been my bestfriend for a year and it seems like lifetimes. You've helped me more than i could ever image and im truly greatful. Diane Woodard - Di, we've been best friends since 7th Grade and wow, you have blessed me each and every day. Im so thankful to have you in my life, i dont know what i'd do without you twin. I dub you. [; Kayla Rouse- Cousin we have literally been through everything together and you have always been there. Im so glad we have the relationship we have. Close family Eh Eh [; haha. There have been laughs, tears, breakdowns, crazies, but we always have each others backs. Mm. Couldnt ask for better friends.
-For Joel and Jacq, you have gone above and beyond. Your truly my family and i love you guys so much. im truly thankful for you guys laughing enjoying my goodtimes and putting up with me in my bad. You've seen all sides of me and i couldnt ask for better Mentors,friends, or Family. I love you.
-For Ignite. Gave me the relationship i desired with God, but also gave me forever lasting friendships. Nick Jauken, Karissa Jimison, Michelle Sparks, Aaron, James, Katy, Leah, Josh, Alyssa, and so much more. Wow its been insane how many friends you can make in such a short time and know them more than you know even family members.
-For the life i've been given. The ups and downs no matter what is been amazing. I truly would not be the person i am today without any of them.
-For my other friends/church family in Cali. Life has gotten brighter because of you.
-For moving out to Washington. Wow, its been tough. Lonely mostly, but i have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams since being here. I have a great host family who makes bomb food and loves the Lord. Gotten closer with Amanda in ways i never thought i would. God has provided me with literally everything ive needed since being here. A job, postbox(tosendmail), Bank, Ride(car&bus), all in a matter of a parking lot. Its been mindboggling. Crazy. Hes blessed me with 2 friends so far and for which im am so blessed to know. Nathan and Andrew-Im laughing now just typing thier names, they are such characters! Also the family i moved my way into - all sides have welcomed me with open open arms and have loved on me in more ways that is understandable. Ha. Also just growing up and becoming an adult in general-its been so fun!

Wow i am just stinkin blessed. I could go on and on but it would take ages and The infamous Hess Thanksgiving is about to start.

I love you. Im thankful for you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Megs.
