Thankful Tuesday!!

I'm feeling thankful today!  I'm thankful that I'm mostly all caught up at work and getting a head start on a transcript I expect will be ordered in January. I'm thankful for all the fun Friday night dinner memories, for good friends, for conversations about favorite Christmas memories, for opulent mac n' cheese from Andolini's, and for TK being generous and buying dinner for all of us! =)

I'm thankful for my new car - I went to OKC to pick it up on Saturday!  I adore the red!  So I said goodbye to Elsa and hello to Ruby Claire!!  (My last red car was Ruby, so I gave this one a middle name. lol  There's apparently a Ruby Claire Boutique, so this car gets to have a fun logo! lol)

I am thankful for my crazy generous Dad, who gave me this car as an early Christmas present!!

It has a few new features - remote start and automatic braking and heated steering wheel and a bigger screen, and it reads your texts to you. This was the first text it read me - the asterisks are all the emojis! lol

I'm thankful for MoviePass and AMC Stubs and for getting to see a couple free movies with free concessions this weekend! =) I'm thankful for Sunday lunch with good friends (I went to Bravos with Jon & Kristin and got these nachos, which were awesome).

And I'm thankful for getting to hang out and catch up with Chet Lee for a couple hours during his open house Sunday afternoon!  ...This page is part of his BSF homework, and it went along so well with what I've been thinking about lately that I had to snap a picture. lol  Less about me, more about Christ!  Less about the church's successes, more about the power of Christ and the gospel!! Yes, please!

I'm thankful for fun text conversations and festive Bitmoji cuteness... they even have one that fits my Felony Tuesday feelings. LOL

I'm thankful for the faithful friendship of Tiffany and Chet Lee, two people I know I can depend on and be real with! ❤

I'm thankful for my women's lifegroup and that I get to see them for dinner and the Rhema Christmas Lights tonight!!  I'm thankful that we get to celebrate Kyle's birthday this weekend! I'm thankful that Christmas is just around the corner... then Mom's birthday, then Kristin Foster, then Tiffany, then hopefully the shared birthday of me and baby Wilson! lol  Get excited!!!

I'm thankful for my peaceful FB break through this Advent season... it's been nice! Also thankful that Kristin, Chet, Laura, and Tiffany all checked in to make sure I knew about Kyle's party!! lol  That helps me not to feel FOMO (fear of missing out) as I'm not on Facebook. =)

I'm thankful for Jesus and all He has done for us! I'm thankful for friends who love Him and sharpen me spiritually!  And I'm thankful for all the nostalgia and hope the approaching new year brings!! ❤
Okay, that's all for today. Happy Tuesday!
