SO. Thanksgiving Break. A lot happened. Went to Tampa for a few days and ran (not literally..puh-lease!) around West Palm Beach a good deal. Saw tons of family, friends, and quite a few neat places. Here are a lot of pics, in no particular order and not really organized very well. I’m still at home (where it’s 80 degrees). Flying back to school tonight (where I hear it’s snowing right now?).

Us with G-rents. Happy 50th Anniversary! P.s….it doesn’t get cold in south FL, really, but we still all dress like it is….clearly….
(I’m a sloucher here…don’t judge)
My cousin Kassidy. She’s going to be a princess when she grows up, clearly, right?

crazy men in my family.

hilarious. I secretly wish my family owned this. OK, so not so secretly. You might not be able to tell, but it’s a septic tank service.

Walkway on Nature Path with Melisa
This is fall in south FL. The trees do not change color here. Now you may understand why I am obsessed with leaves and the sort.
This is Melisa. More on her later. Good good friend. So thankful for her!
Love this place. And the sunset.
pretty beach!
Self-timer! Nice! On a Nature path. We’re such dorks. It was fun.
some tree.
tried this. not.
dogs! (not mine!)
I wish I was brave enough to try this.

I really am thankful for a lot of things–Especially thankful for this journey of life that I tell you a little about. The people, the places, the experiences, the growing, the pains, the conversations, and the moments that make life what it is. So much to be grateful for. And grateful I am.

Bless you if you made it to the end of this 🙂
