Gracias a Dios

Sioux Falls seriously rocks my socks.

I just love this city.

I've been romping around this lovely place for 4 weeks now.

It's real good.

Gratitude has come easy.

Thank you Jesus...

for a passport not forgotten.

[I forgot my passport coming home at Christmas…

lots of shaking was involved]

Thank You for friends who send books in the mail,

Delta, and Biscoff cookies.

for Target trips for no good reason 

other than… IT'S TARGET!

also the sky, that's a beautiful thing too.  

I'm grateful for my sleeping two year old nephew.  

[seriously, two year olds are cray cray]

for selfie togetherness.  

Thank You for morning snuggles 

and waking up with my family.

for the opportunity to drink coffee and

watch Liam catch his first fish.

[NOT through an iMessage video]

[although I am grateful for that too…]

Lots of gratitude for T-Pain and 

friends that enjoy spontaneous bridge dance parties.

for candles, quietness, and clean water.

I'm thankful for walks through downtown to the farmers market,

blueberry turnovers,

and friends to enjoy both with.  

What is something you are grateful for this summer?  

[Kayla, this is 2 days late.  

I'm so sorry.

Will you forgive me?]
