Thanksgiving is (almost) here!

I am finally home for Thanksgiving break! The past few weeks have been quite eventful. I ran the Richmond Half Marathon with my roommate Sophie and friend Ryan two weeks ago. My mom came to stay with us! It was a beautiful day to run and I was so glad I got to spend more time with Sophie! Andrew came up to see the end of the race, too!

Andrew came to see me!

Roomies at the end of the race!

Mom found us at the end!

Last weekend I went to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association’s annual conference in Atlanta and stayed with Mom and her friend Debbie! My professor did a talk about language variation and speech pathology and I helped her prepare for the session. I was very excited to go because I got to go to a lot of sessions, go through the exhibit hall, and talk to grad schools!

We ate at "Pitty Pat's Porch" for some
good Southern food!

This is in the lobby of the
Georgia World Congress Center,
where the ASHA convention was held.

SO excited to be at the
Norfolk airport at 8am!

I am very thankful for all of the opportunities I have had in the past few weeks to travel and do participate in fun events! Going on trips is really exciting, but it caught up with me when I had to switch back to reality when I got home! It has helped me to remember Colossians 3:17 when I am anxious about getting my work done. It says: “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Just a simple reminder that everything we do is for the Lord!
