i took this photo from a frame, excuse the glare.

Yesterday I was reminded the importance of finding the beauty and love in everything.  After dining at Watts Tea Room, my mom and I headed to see my Great-Grandmother.  Although she doesn't remember us, it is important to cherish these times with her.  Right when we walked in, we gave her a warm welcome and she suggested we sat down next to her.  A few minutes later, she took my hand and intertwined our fingers- something that hasn't happened since this photo was taken when I was young.

Today, a friend remarked that we should should ask ourselves how or what we can do to help our community, family, and friends.  Whether it's volunteering once a week or even promising to cherish and visit family members consistently, let's follow Deborah Lloyd's lead and make a difference this year!

 This entire week has been so fabulous.  I've been reunited with my best friends {thats to you dayna, anna, kate, and annie} and with all the others I graduated with.  Not only that, but my Dad returned home for the awaiting Debutante Ball tonight.  Twenty four hours of travel time later, my Dad was picked up from the airport- uniform and all.  I hope you have all enjoyed your thanksgiving break as much as I have! I'm incredibly lucky and grateful to have my wonderful parents, family, and friends always supporting me...but most of all I'm thankful for the Huskers beating Iowa!
