and i am thankful

so lets see here. thanksgiving break was great. i talked my boss into taking two days off for the holiday. i am thankful for that. it gave me a chance to go home and really spend time with my family and shelton friends. on friday my dad decided to keep his office open so i thought it would be fun to go "work" for the morning (since i worked there for 4 years). while i was there, i was able to see some of my favorite patients which was such and blessings and i am thankful for them.
clyde and lynn- my second grandparents
greeta- my 97 year old favorite lady, who cried when she saw me, which in turn made me cry
bob- who was so excited to see "maggie". (aka me) he has called me that since he met me and still thinks that is my name. (if you knew bob you would understand)
i love my dads office and miss working there sometimes.

i love shelton also, urraco makes me smile and all the girls there too! i got to hang out with becky, elisabeth, and kristen while i was home. i am thankful for them! my mom, sister and i went to see enchanted while i was home. now this film isn't some great movie that will win tons of awards, and it won't win the heart of "indie movie folk" either, but who doesn't love a good princess movie every once in a while...i know sure do. it was also just nice to spend some time with my mom and sister. i was thankful for that. (my dad didn't want to go to the movie, but who could blame him?)

on sunday i went to fbc with my family. last time i went to church there the sermon was from nehemiah and mars hill was going through nehemiah at that time as well. this time the service was from philippians which is the book mars hill is going through right now. they both have completely different approaches to the book. which was really interesting to see. i honestly like that mars hill goes through the book completely and i feel like i understand that part of the bible so much more. i am thankful for that.

yesterday at community group i brought my friend matt. which made me realize that i now have too many big brothers (i am thankful for that, for the most part) and am never going to bring a guy (even though we are just friends) to group again. also last night at group our leader told us he is leaving mars hill so he won't be able to lead our group any more. but before any more rumors get spread about my church let me explain. taylor is leaving because he feels God is leading him to serve else where, not because he has any problems with the church. it is sad and i am really sad to see him leave. taylor has been such a great leader i am thankful for all he has done for our group and i will really miss him.

tonight i went out to sushi with my friend kelsey. who is just such a awesome person i love getting together with her. i am thankful for that friendship.
