-Parents who love me and support my dreams. Who encouraged me to move to New York City and now to go to Italy. I love them soooo much!!!
-Erin who is the BEST friend I've ever known and will ever know. A friend who tells you the truth no matter how hard it is to hear, a friend who prays for you, a friend who stops what we are doing to pray, a friend who loves in the best and worst of conditions, a friend whom I miss more than words can even express.
-April Kendrick who has been a great friend and helper. She has been so kind and helpful to me over these past few months and whom I love so much!!
-Mrs. Malissa- a beautiful, loving, wonderful friend whom I love like another mother and she means the world to me.
-Dr. Hernandez-Reif- one of the kindest, most loving people I've ever known. She has been so good to me and I love her more than she can ever know!!!
-Kelly (& her family)- they welcomed me into their home and lives and they just mean so much to me and I love them. I have learned so much from all of them and I appreciate that.
-Meagan- a beautiful friend who has been there for me and I miss her more than she knows!!!
-Brooke- you couldn't ask for a more lovingly honest friend who loves the Lord. I love her!!
-Britt- a friend who always goes the extra mile for everyone and deserves all the love in the world (and has mine)
-Alex- one of the first friendly faces I met in grad school! Alex always knows how to make me laugh and is such a beautiful, kind friend who loves the Lord.
-Heather- such a wonderful person and I have learned so much from her and she has helped shape my practices in the early childhood classroom. She has loved on me when I needed it and I love her so much.
-Everyone at the Children's Program- These people welcomed me in and loved on me and taught me so much and I just LOVE them!!!
-Ms. Hudson- I have known Ms. Hudson for a while now, but she has been so loving and encouraging over the past two years and it does not go unnoticed!! HDFS will have a huge hole in it come January.
-Everyone upstairs in HDFS- Mrs. Kirksey, Mrs. Horton, Dr. Sherwood, Craig, and others!
-My New York family- I love and miss them!!!
-FINISHING MY THESIS!!!!!!!!!!!! So thankful to be finished with Ridiculous and the Ridiculousness!!!!
-Graduating soon!!!
-The opportunity to take this trip to Italy! It is such an amazing feeling to see dreams come true! I love to see my own come true, but others' dreams as well.
-I am thankful that my best friend Erin is getting the opportunity to live her dream. I dont think she knows just how brave she is moving so far away from "home", but I do! She is so amazingly strong and brave and I know it was a looong wait, but I truly believe that she is right where God wants her to be. She did not seek evil to see her dreams come true (Bible verse I referenced in a previous post), and now she is in Charleston!
-For everyone that has made me who I am today! It's too many people to list and for some of them I am thankful for what they did OR didn't do...all the same, it helped me get here today!
Mostly right now though, I am thankful for the graduate school experience. So many things have changed for me in two years. They have been the hardest, most life changing years of my life, but they taught me to dance in the rain.
