THANKSGIVING!

So Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I can't wait to eat all the yummy food. Turkey, mashed potatoes, and corn casserole. But Thanksgiving is not all about the food it is also about giving thanks to God for EVERYTHING you have. Even through the rough times when you don't want to be thankful you should. I have a hard time being thankful for things I didn't want to happen or think are a punishment, but God put those things there for a specific reason unknown to me. I know sometimes Thanksgiving comes around and you feel as if there is nothing to be thankful about so you dread the holiday. Well there is always God sending His Son to die on the cross for our sins and we should always be thankful for that if nothing else. Another reason for Thanksgiving is spending time with family and friends. I am going down to Mims to see my brothers, aunt, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. I know I will have a great time. In the end Thanksgiving is about giving thanks, spending time with family, and then you can enjoy the delicious food. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving.

Sunday Fun!

So on Sunday after church on a beautiful, crisp, cool morning my friend, and fellow blogger Mia came over with her family for lunch. We ate Pizza Hut pizza, played cards, and she helped me learn more about my blog. We had a lot of fun together. I really enjoyed her company. We wanted to be able to visit longer, but they had to go. We bid our goodbyes and that was the end of a great day. On the bright side I saw her yesterday at the AMAZING Todd Wilson talk at Hillcrest Baptist.He was hilarious. I have had a great week so far, lets pray that it will stay that way.

Going to the Metro Diner

So we went to the Metro Diner in Jacksonville today for breakfast. We had seen this place on T.V. and we just had to visit it. My dad had been there before and said it was good, so we decided to go this morning for a late breakfast.



I got the NORMAL sized short stack of pancakes I could of gotten one twelve inch pancake ( the large pancake) but I chose this instead. It's a good thing to I didn't even finish these.



My Mom got the Yo Hala which is French Toast made with challa bread and filled with a cream cheese and banana filling and topped with blueberry preserves.

The Metro Diner had good food and I liked what I had. I took the rest of my food home for tomorrow so that I could have it again. It was a good experience.

Setting up my blog

This is the button I should have pressed

So today I wanted to pull my hair out so badly.

I was trying to set up my blog to make it look

 better and was trying to add menu buttons.

I searched the Internet for help on how to do that.

I tried tons of different sites that told me what to do but for me they weren't working.       

I signed up for a bunch of things that I didn't need to, spent hours trying to figure things out

 and still nothing.

I finally found a site that told me how to do it with a video to go along.

Hooray it worked after about 3 hrs of trying.

Welcome to my world.



My Life (My first post..... ever!)

Hey I'm Caitlyn and I have a friend who blogs and I decided I wanted to start a blog of my own. I asked her some questions on what my blog should be about because I didn't want to start a blog just to start one. I wanted it to be thought over carefully before I made a decision. She told me to write about real life. Basically not be fake or make it seem like I have it all together always but be real, true, and honest. I have to say I am not the greatest fan of writing. I like writing stories and such but this is the first time I am writing about something real not fake. I still have that email from my friend so it will always encourage me to keep blogging. Hopefully this blogging experience will help me LOVE writing.

Blessings,

Caitlyn
