| I realize this is really late to be for Thanksgiving, but I wanted to make a list of things I'm thankful for... and thanksgiving should be everyday anyways, right? :]
Random things I'm thankful for....
- That God exists, cares, loves, and judges.
- For little children who give the sweetest, most genuine & heartfelt hugs in the world.
- When there's one person who's truly grateful while everyone else whines.
- That Jesus' love is unconditional. He loves everyone, EVERYONE, exactly the same. No favorites. No hatred. Jesus LOVES us. He weeps for us... wow.
- For big warm fuzzy hoodies!
- The joy of a good book on a rainy day..
- Smiles
- Idiots who do stupid things and make me laugh... oh wait, that's my friends. :]
- That Jesus is the best friend I could ever long for! I will never be alone. :]
- Big crazy families that make life amazing.
- That I got to go down to Fes last week and have the best time EVERR. :]]
- The Blanco Negro coffee-ice cream drink things at the Fes McDonalds! ;]
- Opportunities.
- A friend that's there to give a hug, just when you need one...
- That my amazing brother Eric is coming in January!!! :]]
- That God gives us hard times, among the good... and gives us joy in spite of pain!
- That you can have joy without feeling happy.
- That life isn't about what you feel.
- For rainbows and stars and fluffy clouds.
- For the amazing technology of the internet!
- That God grants us grace...
- That I know I'm going to Heaven and I don't have to wait until death to see if I've been good enough for God. Because I could never be good enough for God. But I'm thankful that He just wants us to have faith in him...
- For the little things people do, just out of kindness.
- For Christmas decorations.
- That we can dream.
- That in the midst of chaos there can be peace.
- For pictures & memories & touching moments.
- For shoulders to cry on & people to laugh with.
- That I can laugh! :]]
- That I have the privilege of thanking God for things!
And I have to stop now, because I really need to go to bed... But to God & all my friends out there... I love you, and thank you for being there for me! <3

| Wow, I have been neglecting xanga like mad since Facebook has taken over! Sorry to anyone who still uses xanga and actually wants to see updates... :] I still read my subscriptions but I never get around to actually posting myself! So.. for those of you still on here, here's a bunch of random pictures of the month of September! :] Click on the pics to make them big...
  
Aw! I love that baby<33
And her sisters. :]]
 
My amazing neighbors! I love them times a billion! This is the guy who had the brain damage, for those of you who know that story.... PTL they moved him into a nursing home about a block or two from our house, and his family can go see him everyday! :] They're lives are finally settling back into normalcy...
     
I love themmm<333
Aw!! This is just so precious... Hafida and Fernando's hands... He can't talk, or stand by himself, but he'll start squeezing her hand, like he's just saying "I love you" or something, and she gets so happy. It's precious beyond words. <33
Mmm! Ramadan food!!! :]] It's beastly!
Anawar being stoked about eating! Haha!
Musical moment.. haha.
Ayman's beastly boat creating skills! :]
The boys had a joint birthday party (Ayman turning 5, Anawar turning 2) and it lasted till 1:30am, on a school night. Haha, not very likely to happen at an American baby's party, mm??
    
The boys lookin all spiffy in their ties! :] And Hafida in a jalaba! Haha.
  
Yummy food!
   
Ayman being his silly self. :]
   
Caaaake time! :]]

Aw, this little girlie turned two yesterday! :]] Love herrr! I cannot wait to see her again! Come visit us as soon as you can, Lita! :]
So, sorry that I've been kind of absent from the whole xanga world, facebook has been taking over. Haha. But for the sake of not letting this die I shall give you a quick update! For those of you who were praying for our neighbor lady's husband who was in the accident in France... He's still mostly paralized, but they just moved him into a nursing home that's like a block away from his wife's (and our) house! Yayyy! PTL!! :] :] Before he was in a city about 3 hours away. So now his wife and kids can see him everyday, and they're allowed to bring him home on the weekends! It's still really hard, but this is definitely better! PTL. :]]
Anddd... yeah, not much else has been happening! I've started school, how exciting... haha. We transformed one of our spare bedrooms into a schoolroom!
We moved the bed into the other, bigger bedroom and bought a really cheap desk at a used furniture place, and now I have a new room for school. It's like ten million times better than doing it in my bedroom! Haha.
And yesterday I bought a camera! Yayy! I had a bunch of birthday money from anonymous people (Thank you, whoever you are!!) And so I bought a camera. And.. yeah, that's all I have to say about anything. Ha.
I'm currently talking to my dear friend Bree on Skype. And we're talking in Arabic... lol! So random of us! By the way, it's hard to type Arabic with English letters sometimes. ;]
