THANKFUL FOR: FAMILY WEEKEND

I cannot even being to tell you how thankful I was to see my family this weekend. Not like I hate it here or anything, but when you’re so attached to someone and love someone so much it is weird going to seeing them everyday to not seeing them at all. It is sad at times, but let me tell you it made the reunion so much better!!! I was excited to see my mom, dad, brother, janjan, bia, auntie kiss, and uncle jeff. It was such a short time, but it was a great weekend. I got to show them the campus all at once, take them to my favorite spots, take them to the Beta House, introduce them to my friends, take them to the football game, and just spend time with them. The weather was perfect also, which means the weekend couldn’t have been any better. They have been so supportive in my transition to college and it is safe to say that I couldn’t do it without them. I was so happy to finally get a hug and love them in person. It kinda feels like I am at camp or something, but I know as time goes on that will pass! Thank you guys for coming and making this weekend such a great one! I can’t wait to see you all again soon, but until then keep up the support and remember that I love you all. I am thankful for such an awesome family that God has blessed me with. They defiantly are mine for a reason! Be thankful for your loved ones… They know you better than you know yourself! God, I thank you today for my family that brings out the best in my and I am thankful for a weekend with them! 

Also, CONGRATS to Miss Arkansas 2014 Ashton Campbell!!!! AHHHH Ashton is one of the sweetest people I know and she has already done a GREAT job at representing Arkansas this year. She was named 2nd rummer up to Miss America tonight  and I loved cheering her on here in Texas. My social media was going crazy and so was everyone else in Arkansas because she made us SO proud!!! AHHH I still can’t get over my excitement! God blessed her and blessed our state with such a God centered, talented, beauty queen. He has great plans for her and to be honest I am kind of glad we get to keep her to ourselves for the rest of the year… Miss America is sure to be jealous! Thank you for being so dedicated and so amazing to our state! We sure do love you and are so proud of your accomplishments thus far… I know you are thankful for them and so are we!! YAY ASHTON!! 

I have a busy week and my first college exam on Tuesday! I would appreciate prayers of course. I love support and thank God for it every night! I sure hope you do too! 
Yours Truly, 
Southern and Thankful
