for we put our HOPE in You."
In this final week of 2022, today, I am thankful for:
1. Time with Triston... he helped us take down my Christmas stuff and put some boxes in the attic (yay!), then we went to a movie together and he stayed the night, and on Tuesday, we went to the Apple Store and Classen Curve and had dinner at Tucker's (yum) and talked about school and life and his upcoming London trip! =)
2. Having help to take down my Christmas stuff and set up my living room! Glitter is EVERYWHERE, and the house does feel kinda bare now, but I'm super thankful for the great help from T-man and Mom!! ❤
3. A lovely lunch with Mom at Teller's (a new Italian restaurant that was once a fancy bank in downtown OKC). Their Christmas decor is on point and was definitely what brought us there! **Also deeply thankful that she's been feeling better and stronger since our ER visit on the 23rd!
4. The fun of following the Campbell family as they travel the world this year - highly recommend it!! I've followed Ashley's blog for years, so they feel like friends to me, and I LOVE all the photos and stories of their travel adventures on Instagram @underthesycamore. I follow her oldest three kids there now, too. lol
5. This little quote from Glass Onion... loved it when I heard it, and I was happy to find this meme!
6. The Whitaker family (having lunch with Kristin and the boys tomorrow - yay!), and more specifically, what has become a really close friendship with my cousin, Kristin... she's someone I can speak freely with, and vice versa. We've laughed together and we've supported each other through petty grievances and profound griefs, and she's been very dependable and encouraging through all the ups and downs I've faced this year! I'm super grateful for that and happy we live less than five minutes from each other now! ❤
7. The Wilson family, and specifically Chet Lee, who has gone out of his way to be there for me this month! From funny meme texts to genuine words of affirmation to calling to ask about Mom and calling to reassure me that no one is upset (bc he knows I worry and said that's the last thing I need to be focused on right now)... it is all very much appreciated and valued! Some mutual friends had a crisis this week, and Chet was the first to show up there and the one to send a text rallying other friends to help out, and I love that! I really love the way that being a part of this friend group inspires/challenges me to keep growing with God and improving as a person... and I love that even after moving, I can rest and trust that my friendship with the Wilson fam is solid (pic = the Labor Day pool party, Tate showing me a tree bridge they discovered on a neighborhood walk)! ❤
