Grateful

On this Thanksgiving Day, I have so much to be thankful for. Although, if I were to try to list everything that I'm grateful for, I'd be typing indefinitely. I'll try to limit myself.
I am grateful for:

  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am so blessed to have this sweet gospel in my life. I am grateful for the peace and comfort that it brings.
  • Rachel. I was really unsure of how things would go when she came out here. But, against my preconceived ideas, we have become best friends. I am so proud of her and I love having her in my daily life. Even when she insists on crawling into my tiny bed with me (and gives me Reese's and then takes them away, like she just did).
  • The United States of America. No, it is not perfect. But, I am so thankful and proud to be called an American. We have so many freedoms in this nation! Just take a moment and think of how wonderful it is that we have religious freedom. There are so many out there who aren't able to have this same freedom. I know that our forefathers involved the Lord in the founding of our country.
  • The great people that I have met here. Influential, uplifting, motivational, kind. They are wonderful.
  • Friends. I have such great people in my life.
  • Bubble baths. What a fabulous pleasure in life.
  • Utah Valley University. Although it is costing me three times as much as what BYU-Idaho did, I am grateful for the things that I am learning here.
  • Music. It's good for the soul.
  • Turkey! I couldn't forget that today.
  • Family. The best for last. I am so glad that I was given this family. They are so wonderful. It gets a little crazy sometimes, but it's worth it. I am grateful for my eternal family.
What are you thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving!!
