Today was such a great day! Normally I transition slowly from summer to classes, but I have loved today. Yesterday, I moved into my apartment. My roommates are the best. I have seven roommates which may seem like a lot, but it’s all I know.

Ashley made us breakfast this morning!

How perfect.

After starting my day off with delicious gluten/wheat free waffles, I checked my blogroll quickly (it’s up to 400, seriously), only to find that I won a giveaway at Sarahndipities! I am so happy!!! This means that I will be featured on her blog as a “sponsor,” but for free, until the end of October. Hooray! Unfortunately, I don’t have a 100×100 button so I’m working on that right now. Then I am allowed to sleep.

Today was awesome for other reasons, too. My classes were nice. I received Photoshop and a make-your-own stamp kit in the mail (fun times are headed my wayyy). I saw friendly faces after a long summer. We had campus communion. Then finally, Ashley and I walked to the gym, worked out slightly, got Starbucks, and came home. This was such a productive day! It may not last for long, but it’s refreshing to finally be busy again after a summer of lazing away in a pile of crafts.

Still, I want to make time for crafting. I need to. For the sake of my health. The cool thing is I am leading a small group focused on arts and crafts (and Jesus. cool guy.) that starts on Monday. A couple of guys signed up for it. That’s cool! I wasn’t expecting it though, so I may have to scratch the diy flowers from the syllabus.

I’m feeling thankful. Thankful, thankful, thankful. Would it be cheesy to jump on the “Thankful Thursday” bandwagon or am I overdoing it with alliteration days?

PS. no Color Wheel Wednesday this week, but I am digging green today :)

P.P.S. I may be driving back up to Portland with my mom this weekend because my grandpa isn’t doing well. We are praying lots. It will be nice to spend some quality time with him.
