Holiday Gift Wrapping Ideas

Happy Hump Day! 

The start of this week has been overwhelmingly busy with less than two weeks in the fall semester. Three finals, three tests, one presentation, and one project stand in my way. {eekkk!}
Christmas break, please oh please come quickly. 

My frequent study breaks consist of Twitter and my newest addiction, Pinterest. Isn't it great?! I'm linking up with The Vintage Apple for "Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesdays" with some simple holiday gift wrapping ideas. The holidays have officially arrived.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Happy {belated} Thanksgiving, y'all! 

Sorry I'm a day late but my parents and I traveled to Virginia to spend the holiday with my grandma. Such a wonderful couple of days to turn off the computer and enjoy family time.

In today's culture where Christmas comes right after Halloween, I believe it is very important to take time to remember Thanksgiving. Throughout the year, life is crazy busy and while I don't thank God enough for all the blessings in my life, this fourth Thursday of November allows me to take a moment and reflect. Below are just a few things I'm thankful for.

- God and His enduring love and grace
- my family who loves and supports me
- friends who are always there
- a job that I love waking up to everyday
- coworkers who make work enjoyable
- a roof over my head and food on the table
- clothes, sports, music and technology


I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1

What are you thankful for this year? How did you spend Thanksgiving?
