my attitude of gratitude

To get over my depression of being stuck in a deserted town and not being able to go home until tomorrow afternoon I've made a list to reflect on the things I'm giving Thanksgiving for this year.

I'm thankful for:

*My Parents-for everything!!! For your help, everything you've done for me and continue to do for me. For your constant examples of how to live life both temporally and spiritually. For your support. For your advice(Even though I don't always want to listen to it initially). I love you.

*Siblings-over the years as we've grown up you have turned into my best friends, who love me no matter what, and set examples for me over and over again. Our family wouldn't be complete without any of you. I love you.

*Keznee- For bringing a whole new look and love to our family. and for being the cutest baby I've ever seen! I can't wait to squeeze the guts out of you tomorrow!!

*The Gospel-It's true. and every good thing I have in my life is a result of it. Also grateful for the peace and comfort it brings in these crazy, and often sick and twisted days.

*The CC Crew-Holy cow I love you all! I am so grateful for all the crazy memories we have made, damage and ruckass we've caused and for all the deep talks we've had : )

*Jessie & Jenny- We've been through a lot over the years! thank you for befriending me 7 years ago when I needed friends the most and for helping make me who I am today. I Love you!!!

*Jeni-For always listening to my rambles or "stories" as you call them. Thank you to as well for befriending me at my worst when I first moved to cedar. I love our adventures, our talks, inside jokes, and our laughs. You're a great friend, I love you!

*Camera-She's getting a little worn out after all I've put her through but I'm so glad I have the ability to capture memories and moments and look back on them.

*the priesthood and guys that honor it-I have a huge respect for you.

*America and the freedoms we enjoy. especially grateful for those who fight to protect it : )

*Cellphone & Internet and the conveince they bring to keeping in touch with people

*Jacqui, Candice, & Brook-I'm so glad to have the ideal roommate living situation. Thank you for being the ones who sometimes get me the most. I love love you!!

*Coke-for sometimes being the one thing that gets me through my day

*Missionaries-for sacrificing to do the work that needs to be done that I'm to shy to do myself.

*the little things in life-notes left in random places, phone call/text from a friend haven't talked to in a while, sleeping in on a Saturday, school spirit, smile from a random stranger, etc...

*Laughter-you're my favorite thing to do and I could not live without it.

*Walmart-for being open over the break and helping me have some human interaction after the students leave town

*Sunshine-always puts a smile on my face. I miss you and already can't wait for you to come out and melt all the snow we haven't even gotten yet.

*My Nursing Class-for putting up with my quirks day after day and for being a huge support system to me through the hardest semester of school yet(don't worry I know next semester is going to be even worse, but we can do it!!)

*For the blessings and people who have helped my family this past year.

*Life-Life is good in my hood. I love it!!!
