1. My family. Duh. (Galdor's standing here. I patted him on the head and he punched me in the shoulder. Good thing he can't read what I'm typing!)
2. God. Okay, another 'duh' inserted here because if God wasn't here, we wouldn't be here. If God wasn't here, even if we did exist it would not be a wonderful life.
3. My friends. It's not easy being my friend, after all. I'm kind of grumpy and kind of annoying sometimes.
4. You really cool followers/readers of my blog who've stayed on even though my posts have been random and far in between!
5. Safety, or at least as much as I can have in this world.
6. A really solid education. Three cheers for my mom and dad!
7. My great-grandma, who I love talking to and who has cool stories about college and WWII.
8. Food. =)
9. The freedom to be able to say my thoughts, shoot guns, worship God, own property, and all the others.
10. Getting my learner's permit on the first try!
11. NaNoWriMo. *cue melodramatic sigh* Without it, I would never have found my wings!
12. My speech chapter. Public speaking really uncorked my bottle, so to speak. I never knew all the things I would be able to do until I gave a speech.
13. My church. I love my church because we're like one big family! Everyone knows everyone, and it's so encouraging to go to a building every week that's stuffed with friends. =)
14. Lastly, I'm thankful for the comfort of home. We're staying home for Thanksgiving and having my grandparents and a friend from church over. It's so nice to have a life. =)
And with those random thoughts, I'll leave you all with a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! ringing in your ears!

Wait for it...
You guys are never going to guess in a thousand years what happened to me today.
Oh, by the way, NaNoWriMo's going pretty well. There have been days where I haven't written at all, but I've always managed to catch up. I'm liking my book, and as I write the plot is turning out even better than I expected. But this is the first year that I haven't wrote a book in a little series I was writing. This year the setting and plot and characters are completely brand new. It's kind of like going on vacation for a little bit, if you know what I mean. Fun, exciting, but in the end you get home and you sigh in relief.
I've also developed a knack for long, run on paragraphs. And omitting contractions and that little dash that sometimes connects words.
But anyway...
Guess what I did today!
I GOT MY LEARNER'S PERMIT!!!!!
It's almost surreal. And it's kinda sad too. I mean, there's something about now being lawfully able to get behind the wheel and control this huge hunk of metal that drives childhood right out of you. =(
Anyway, that's really all for now. I just wanted to share that huge milestone with you guys.
How has NaNo been with anyone else?
