West Point, ahoy!

Here I am at the parents, and it feels lovely. I had an excellent 1st day of freedom...

-Slept 'til 10.

-Went to In N Out with Tiff, Mike, and my little Dylan :-) Taught them how to order correctly and how to appreciate the party in their mouths. Dylan is so cute and funny and makes me so happy! The sun was shining bright and we even ate outside, in November!
-Went home and straightened things up a bit.
-Showered and got ready slowly.
-Enjoyed some new music by Carrie Underwood and John Mayer.
-Went on a great hike with Kip. Then we went to Kneaders, delicious.
-Headed up to West Point, where we're watching Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...the best Thanksgiving prep!

Well, I only have a couple days left of the "Thankful Fors" so I should get down to business. Today I pick:

Nature- I love being outside...it's best when the weather is cooperating, of course :-) I'm reminded of the beautiful nature today after my hike in the mountains of Utah Valley, which are quite awesome. I have seen so many unbelievably gorgeous places and there are so many more that I hope to experience! One of my favorite places is Muir Woods in No. Cal...

Jamie- She is my best friend and I'm grateful for her consistency in my life. She's the most fun, quite hilarious, knows me through and through, and we've had so many super fun adventures together! Our friendship has withstood some real tests, and I love her so unconditionally. There are countless thing I could say about her character and talents. I spend a lot of time missing her, so here's hopin' our lives get geographically closer again at some point. Home- I sure do love the coziness of home! Now this is actually Goldie Hawn and Kirt Russell's home, not mine, but a girl can dream right? ha ha!
