THANKFUL FOR: @LPDUNK

One final stands between me and a much need break, but y’all this is so hard. I had a final this afternoon at 3, and I haven’t really recovered from it (lol). By that I mean studying right now is basically impossible. I am not retaining anything and I am pretty sure I used all the focus I had on that final today. I am going to go to bed and hope when I wake up I will
1. Know more than I think
and
2. Use the hours before the exam to really prepare

Prayers are of course appreciated!

Today, sweet Hillary drove to Fort Worth to check on me and brought me lunch. Have I mentioned how much I love having her so close? Thanks for taking great care of me Hill!
I guess you could also say that Hill and I had to get together because we had to celebrate Lauren’s birthday somehow!!!

Yes, today is Lauren’s birthday, which means I am extra thankful for her today. I am actually so excited for break and hopefully lots of fun together! After finals week, I do not understand how you study all the time, Lauren. I have been challenging my inner you and studying like crazy. I guess it is fitting since it is your birthday, huh? TBT to this time last year when I was already done with finals and came and hung out with you while you studied for finals. Totally wish that could have been today! Thanks for being best dressed, sassiest, for breaking the record of rolls eaten at Thanksgiving, and for being the complete opposite of Hill. Imagine if we had two Hillary’s. So thankful for you, your personality, and the role you play in our fam. Love you times a million sister. Can’t wait to celebrate!!!

I think I can make it. Maybe just maybe. Prayer for safe travels also because I will be making the long journey home tomorrow!! It will be SO worth it!!

Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
