Bits and Pieces: Thanksgiving!

Last Thursday, I set my alarm for 4:45am. Normally, if I have to get up before 6am I just hate the world in general, but for some reason, that day I woke up before my alarm went off. In my head, it went something like this, "wow, I feel rested! time to get up!". Weird, right?

Some highlights of the drive: We listened to switchfoot. Oh my GOODNESS I forgot how much I used to (and still?) love them. Listening to Beautiful Letdown sure took me back...

Highlight #2 (well, for me at least, not sure about Jeremy and Erin...): I got to belt out the entire album of Wicked. Yes please.

#3...Jeremy was a sugar daddy for a hot second and bought us starbucks. holler!

By the time 10:30 rolled around, we were pulling into my parents driveway and walking into a fully prepared breakfast of sausage and eggs and gf bread. I have to say, there are a TON of things I love about going home, but the food has to be one of the best! Thanks mom, I appreciate you!

It was so, so good to be home. Last year was...not the most fun time. This last year sure has seen a lot of changes for me! Last December, I was in the process of titrating off 15 prescriptions. Just as I was finishing that, I got every flu known to man...for two weeks. Christmas found me lying on the couch all day and in bed all night. 3 types of flu+insomnia+withdrawal symptoms = not fun. Anyways, all of that to say that this time, going home was just so wonderful. I have been feeling so much better lately, praise God!

I have energy, which means I can help mom cook, go on dates with my sibs, and even go on a 5 mile run! I really can't describe how thankful I am for the change in my health that I have seen over the last several months. God sure does bring blessings at the most unexpected times and in the most unanticipated ways.

Here are some pictures, because i think pictures are the best!!
