Thursday Thoughts v.26


Happy Thursday, friends! Write down some thoughts you're thinking today, then link up below so the rest of us can read them! I write mine in list form, but feel free to be as creative as your mind sees fit! Right click and save the photo above, or use your own!

You guys have seriously no idea how much your words, thoughts, and prayers have meant. Chelsea was such a joy in this world and I am heartbroken she's gone. Y'all have gone out of your way to hold her family and friends in your heart, and I am so blessed to have friends like you. Seriously guys, you have no clue as to how overwhelmingly loved I feel from your blog comments. Thank you.

To Liz, the woman who has stepped up as a bestie in so many unexpected but needed ways: I love you. Thank you so much for being the bright light in a dark time. I'm so grateful for you.

I don't know if I've talked about this much on my blog, but this semester, my stats class has been rather difficult. My class has required way more patience than in years past, and since you guys know me, you know that patience is not my strong point. Even though the statistics part has been a little rough, I am so thankful for their attitude change this week (after our come-to-Jesus talk about lack of motivation). Plus they were super witty with their team names for review Bingo yesterday. Bonus points if you understand the cat drawing!

Dr. Kirk's latest edition of his graduate textbook is finished and he just received the publisher's copy. He let me take a picture of my special recognition (which just means I typed up a bunch of tables in the appendix for him). It's kind of exciting to have your name in a Kirk stats book...! #nerdexcitement

I made the list for the 15 Day Challenge! I'm thinking we'll start this Sunday, July 1st and go for 15 days, answering one prompt each day until we end on Sunday, July 15th. That means we can easily pre-schedule days if necessary because the date will match up with the numbered day's challenge. I'll open up a link-up tomorrow and keep it open throughout the entirety of the challenge so that we can all join together. For right now, here's the list of the prompts so that you can get started if necessary! Thank you all for your awesome ideas; I'm looking forward to seeing your answers!

Feel free to right click and save this photo, then post it so that others can will join in too! Again, the link-up will open tomorrow! 

Happy Thursday, friends. Here's hoping you feel enlightened today. What are you thinking? Link up here:

I haven't gotten the chance to tell you yet, but you are in my prayers and I am thinking of you often during this difficult time!

Hopefully your stats class turns it around now that you've had a little talk. Better late than never?

Yay for having your name in the textbook and super yay for 15 day challenge! I'm in!

Joslin said...

That's so cool that your professor included your name in his textbook! Hope your class keeps up with the attitude change.

First of all, I totally missed the fact that you're teaching a stats class and thought you were IN it! haha. Secondly, I get the cat joke!! (muuuu!) Third, I'll totally participate in the 15-day challenge. It sounds like so much fun!

Alyssa said...

You're in a textbook. I guess I can now say I know someone famous. Hehe.

Love ya.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a friend (especially a close friend) so young is very hard. I'll keep you in my prayers.

On a somewhat happier note, that's awesome that you made it into a textbook! I don't know about you, but I nearly always read the preface of a textbook and do read those acknowledgements.

I'm glad you have felt support and love during this difficult time.

I'm glad your stats class has bucked up! Maybe you can finish on a high note.

Um- you're in a textbook?!?! Awesome!

I will be taking part in your challenge- thanks for hosting!!

Abbey said...

Haha love the "Come-to-Jesus" type talk. I'll be off adventuring a few of the linky days, and since I already have you lovelies guest posting, I'll probably bow out on those days, but I'm excited for the rest!

Jessica @ O. Alouette said...

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I can't imagine what you must be going through and you'll be in my prayers.

On a happier note, I love your new blog design!

Rachel said...

Can't wait for you 15 day challenge! Give me some blog fodder during vacation :)

Adrienne said...

Still praying for everything going on in your life right now :(

Hooray for stats mini-fame!

Obviously Obsessed said...

I'm so excited for the 15 Day Challenge. That's right up my ally of blog posts!! :)

Perhaps I was a little too excited to recognize a question that I suggested among your 15 questions list! (number 3) :) Of course, someone else may have had the same idea too, either way, looks like fun!
