_thursday is thankful for....family_

Because of where I am going to school and my inability to fly back and forth (and pay for flying back and forth) , I only get to see my family over Christmas and summer breaks. But even though I can't talk to them always or  get to see them much, I am still really thankful for them! They are so supportive and loving, I can be myself around them, and we have awesome adventures together. What more could I ask for? Lately I've been thankful for summer memories... which seem so long ago with these crisp fall breezes!!

Adam, one of the only cats I like.. mostly because he's nothing like a cat. He's ridiculous. 

My beautiful Grandma and her great-grandkids. Who are awesome! 

Our backyard

Sunlight in Iowa

Sunset on my solo roadtrip.

The perfect lake sunset. 

Two words: TONKA TOASTERS. 

Epic Crappie. My dad is pro. 

Finally got to go to the Twins stadium. How perfect is this view? ...not a perfect game, but the stadium makes up for it.

Happy Thursday!
