Halloween
I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but this year some of my students and I decided to dress up as characters from Star Wars. We got $3 Chipotle Burritos, had kids in my apartment complex compliment us, and even some teenagers said we "slayed her night!" We then proceeded to watch the first Star Wars movie.

Long Beach, Worship, and Pumpkins
But this time I was challenges to write three things I'm thankful for for 5 days in a row. And I thought - why not? Gets me blogging for this whole week and thankfulness is a good thing right?
Week of Gratitude Day One
1) I'm grateful for my mother who drove with me on quite the epic adventure this weekend to retrieve something from Long Beach. I'm thankful she has an adventurous spirit and in the midst of her busy schedule still wanted to travel, eat, and take photos.
2) I'm thankful for Austin, our InterVarsity worship leader, for leading us in a time of liturgical worship. It was new, it was different, but he's done a great job in leading our fellowship in worship during this year. I'm grateful for his servant's heart, for his sensitivity to the Holy Spirit moving, and his desire to see others transformed by Jesus.
3) For all things pumpkin. Although in many places were are overdoing it (I saw pumpkin pie pop tarts the other day) I am grateful for Sweet Snow's pumpkin shaved ice. It is quiet delicious.
