One Big Blog Post of Thanks

Hey!

I am back! I was shocked to see the last time I posted was in May but there it is. I just want to do a little catch up on what has been going on. Really this post is one big post filled of thanks. Thanks to God, my family, friends, acquaintances. I just wanted to look back at some highlights of what has happened to me these past  few months. How appropriate as it it Thanksgiving tomorrow! 

I am keeping this blog post simple. 

Just raw, unedited photos, most of which were taken from my phone. Simple snapshots of the numerous experiences I have been blessed to have. 

enjoy
