This year, we're spending Thanksgiving in Mazatlan Mexico. It is not quite the traditional thanksgiving tradition, but it is so beautiful. The long sandy beaches and the perfect weather and the incredible sunsets make me want to stay forever. It doesn't get better than being with family for the Holidays...except maybe being with family in Mexico. :)
You know how I love to sit on the lifeguard stands at Newport beach and read my Bible and pray? The Mayan Palace even had that covered for me...my own personal Palapa Lifeguard stand...I have found my hiding place.
The view from the top!!! it kinda reminds me of the Pirates of the Carribean.
I am thankful, and very blessed to be able to take vacations like this with a family as wonderful as mine. I'm missing Danny and Jamie and David, and new baby boy Schulz during Thanksgiving, but I'm looking forward to Christmas.
A few more things I'm thankful for this year:
- Jesus Christ, and the promise of a never-ending life with Him, honestly it just keeps getting better, and I keep getting more thankful.
- the best family in the world
- the conclusion of a great 4 years at Biola U. with the best roomate ever.
- 3 great roommates and A NEW HOUSE to live in (not to mention my own room!)
- RockHarbor - the reason I'm still in CA, a church that is healthy, reaching out, giving of herself, raising up world-changers, investing in me, and pointing me closer to God
- pastors who care and show me hospitality and treat me like family,
- physical therapists and doctors that are getting my shoulder much closer to working order.
- a new job at Starbucks... I start when I get home. -Hooray for free coffee and health insurance.
- a chance to coach some of the greatest girls in Southern California. They keep me smiling 7 days a week.
- beautiful Bend to come home to.
Your Turn...what are you thankful for?
