Feeling Human

Thankgiving was so great.

 We got together with our friends and had way too much food, played catch phrase, 

and laughed way too much. 

The Hammerbotts  

(Hamiltons, Fletchers, and Abbotts)

We also stuck to a tradition that many families do on Thanksgiving, and that is go around the table and say what you are thankful for. 

When it got to me, I was of course awkward, because talking in front of people is not my thing. 

 If I had one thing to compare my fear of speaking to it would be this video.

 

But I am honestly so thankful for so many things. 

 My husband, Chad, who puts up with me, makes life fun, and takes me on dates.

My cat, Carl, who I wish would just cuddle with me,

 but he is too grumpy. 

My family, who has helped shape who I am today.

(Guys, this isn't everyone. I have a big family)

This gospel, that has help guide and direct me to the happiness I have in my life today.

And finally, being able to go through trials. 

These past couple weeks have been busy, busy, busy.

 Between Chad working, and going to school, to me working 2 jobs and going to school, 

we have not seen much of each other. 

I have also been the worst house wife. 

The laundry is piling up,

the fridge is pretty empty,

and dinner is rarely made at a decent hour.

And I think we have eaten top ramen for dinner the past 5 nights. 

Things are just crazy, and at times I feel overwhelmed but there have been so many times

 I have seen the Lords hand in my life. 

Whether its Chad cleaning the house and making dinner, or a co-worker complimenting me or making me laugh, these little things really make the busy/ rough/ jam packed scheduled times feel like everything will work out alright. 

Don't get me wrong this semester has made me want to drop out, but I am keeping the end in mind. 

I am thinking about how I will feel when I finally graduate, and that sense of accomplishment.

But for now, here's to feeling human.
