Happy Thanksgiving

Today is the day to give thanks for anything that is important in your life. I do pray that your Thanksgiving has been one of lots of fun watching football and stuffing yourself with tons of food. Here are the things that I have done today. Up at a huge park on the south side of Spokane, I met a friend to do a little fun run called the Turkey Trot. It was tons of fun. We finished the trot in 36 minutes. I was happy with my time as the 3 mile course has some hills on it. After that I went to Starbucks, and yes some Starbucks are open in Spokane on Thanksgiving Day and got a bagel with cream cheese, blueberry scone and a signature hot chocolate. It was all delicious. Then I came home, took a nice hot shower, watched some football, even though my Seahawks got their butts kicked and even took a nap, while making sure my computer didn't have any viruses and run faster by running some tests. Right now I am digesting my food and knowing in my mind that I will be doing some exercising later tonight to get rid of the guilt. Also my Gonzaga Bulldogs play tonight so will be watching them. Go Bulldogs!!!

Tomorrow, the day after Thanksgiving "Black Friday" is a new day that will consist of lots of shopping and reattaching the Christmas lights in my room for the upcoming holiday season. Plus, I will also be enjoying my long weekend from work as I am taking a few days off. I also have to clean some windows and curtains, laundry, my dad's business books and much more. I can predict that this weekend will go by really fast and some things may not get down.

Well last week was a special event for me. It was my birthday on November 19th. I am still able to tell people my age. I turned 23 years old and I do feel older even though I am not that old. For my birthday, I had to work at my new job which I love, then my parents and I went out to Bruchi's to have sandwiches and salad and then went down to Gonzaga to the GU Women's Basketball game against Utah Valley State University which they won. Thank you ladies for the amazing birthday present. My parents bought me a basketball where you can get autographs and so we got all the players autographs and the head coaches. Thanks to my mom as she did all the asking and the hard work. I was able to get my picture taken with my favorite player from the team. She is Jami Schaefer formly Jami Bjorklund as she was married in August. I just want to thank Jami for taking the time to talk with me for a few minutes and then the picture. The picture is below.

Overall I had an awesome birthday that I will never forget. The work ladies took me out to lunch, I went to the game, and also received a new New American Standard Bible: The Inductive Study Bible that will help me continue to grow in my relationship with the Lord.

Now I must go as I still need to download all of my Christmas music to my Ipod and gear up for listening to it for this short period of time with only 4 weeks until Christmas. I do want to leave you with the things that I am thankful for this year.

Trinity is thankful for:
-my family, dad, mom, troy, erin, maddie, ella, charlotte, tim, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and everybody. God places us into our families and I am truly thankful that I am in this one.
-my job, some people don't enjoy their job but do it to make money to survive. I enjoy/love my job and am thankful that the Lord provided it for me.
-my friends, they truly know me and like me for who I am.
-sports, if it wasn't for sports and competition I don't know how I could live.
-music, this is inspiration to me.
-the people I look up to, if it wasn't for these people, and there are so many to name, I wouldn't be where I am today.
-most of all I am thankful for the creator of the world, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for taking away the sins of this world by shedding his blood on the cross for me and everyone. That gift is what makes me want to honor, trust, and be more like Him everyday.

Well there is so much more to be thankful for, but that is what I will share right now. May our Almighty Father God bless you on this holiday and in the upcoming season. Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season.
