my thankful post

I'm in South Carolina this week and I am realizing now that its almost the end of November..... WHAT?!?

How did we get this far into the year? How is it only a month away from Christmas? How is it a month closer to flying out? How? How? How? How have I forgotten to post my cliche thankful post everyday? How have I not baked anything this year? How have I not made apple butter? How have I only bought one fall scented candle? How have I only taken one super cute fall picture?

That's right because I've been busy with other things. I have been busy with focusing on life changing. My sisters getting married, my other sister turned 15 and I am trying to balance family time, cat time, Netflix, quiet time, church time, traveling time and friend time. Its a struggle -- but such a good struggle. I don't really want to make this blog super long because it will be posted right after I post a moldy heavy one. So here is to my thankful post.
