Thankfulness Day 20

Today, I'm thankful for the little kids I watch each Thursday. I help out at a homeschool co-op and right now I have 2 little boys I watch.

I love their facial expressions and the funny things they sayy. 

And how excited they get about bubbles. 

Thankfulness Day 19

NC mountains

Budapest

Switzerland

Idaho

And near my home.

Thankfulness Day 18

 Today, I'm thankful for the incredibly beautiful place where I live. People travel hundreds of miles to have a vacation at our beach, and I get to live here!

This is truly what the light looked like one evening. The air seemed to glow, it was incredible.

Emily and Mallory describing my feelings toward the beach. :)

And this is what it can look like in the summer: turquoise and clear.

 It's like the Caribbean, but a whole lot closer.

Thankfulness Day 17

Today, I'm thankful that God has allowed me to travel all over the world, I've been to 4 continents and 14 countries. hardly anyone has done that, yet God has blessed me in that way. 

Canada

We visit the lake country part of Canada and rent a cottage on a lake

Switzerland

 One of the most beautiful places on earth

Austria

I hardly spent anytime here, but I would love to go back.

Germany

The part I saw was green, rolling hills with adorable farm houses

Hungary

This is a country still recovering from the war, it is visible in all the dirty buildings that just need some cleaning up to be beautiful again

Kenya

We spent 1 month here and had lots of adventures!

England

This was one of my favorite places to visit since I've seen so many famous pictures of it and read numerous books that are set in London

Mongolia

Visiting missionary friends

Vatican City 

Yes it is a country, the people who live there have passports

Italy

Probably my all time favorite country, the history is absolutely breath taking!

South Korea

China

And I've also been to Mexico, but I don't have any pictures of it on the computer I'm writing this post on.

I am also planning on visiting 4 new countries next year. I am incredibly blessed!

Thankfulness Day 16

To me, a math person, this video is absolutely fascinating. There are so many things in nature and in art that we take for granted that they just look good. But so many of these actually have a math formula built into them. How interesting is that!?

a/b = (a+b)/a

Here are two examples of the golden ratio in architecture: 

I'm so thankful for a God who hides math in everything. :)

Thankfulness Day 14

54

That's is the expected high temperature for tomorrow. 

Yippee!

I love cold weather, today was in the 70s...

Today I'm thankful for cold weather.

Thankfulness Day 13

Today, I'm thankful for vitamins. Last year I was sick at some point in November, December, January, February, March, and April. My colds lasted 1-2 weeks and during the summer I could easily take an hour nap every day. I finally got sick (no pun intended) of this and started taking a multivitamin and garlic/oregano pills. 

I'm happy to say that I now have a good deal more energy and haven't gotten sick since I've started taking them!
