Today I am thankful for...

1. A great break. This thanksgiving break was so great. I loved being able to spend so much of it with Trevor and that things worked out so well. I'm thankful for the kindness he is in my life. And also that tonight we could go over to Mother's house and just be a part of talking to everyone. It was kind of nice and his Grandma always makes me feel really at home.
2. My Dad. He has been really nice this break and today we got to just sit and talk for a couple minutes, which I enjoyed. He was also kind enough to fill up my gas tank before I leave tomorrow to go back down to school...which reminds me- I need to fill up with some windshield wiper fluid.
3. Home. I don't know what it is but there is always something about home. It's been nice to just be with my family and not have to worry about roommates and whatnot. I've loved being home in my own room. in my own house. on my own street. in my own city. It's a good feeling and I'm kind of reluctant to leave.

Today I am thankful....

1. that me and Trevor made it home safely! We had many minor problems and delays, but we made it to IF. I am so thankful that we could travel up together because it would have been a night mare had I been by myself. It WAS a nightmare from St. George to Provo.
2. for songs and singing- today when I was stressed while driving or in the car, it helped to sing a song or two and lift our spirits.
3. for Roger and Annie. It was SO great to be able to stay at their apt. last night and play with their kids and then stay up talking with them. What a good night. :)
4. Trevor. I am so thankful that he was with me on our drive and that we could spend some time together. He is awesome.

Today I am thankful for...

1. People I love calling me. My favorite old roommate Becca calling me last night and it was the best surprise. We ended up talking and catching up for quite a while and it was a blast. Trevor was going to call me last night but ended up falling asleep, so it was a pleasant surprise to wake up to him calling me this morning. I always love talking to my favorite people and it's such a blessing that I get to.
2. My Bishop. He is such a nice and humble man. The other night I was feeling really sick and when I asked him about anyone in the ward to give me a blessing, he immediately found someone. Not only did he do that for me, but the next day he texted me to see how I was feeling. It's nice to have such a caring bishop.

Today I am thankful for...

1. The lds website. Things have been kind of rocky with roommates lately, so sometimes life feels a little lonely. But it's always comforting to turn to the gospel and to hear what the prophets have to say. I love watching the mormon message videos that they have on there, and there are a few good ones about gratitude on there right now w/thanksgiving around the corner.
2. Running water. This realization is due to our water being out for today (and who knows how long!) but it has made me more grateful for being able to wake up and brush my teeth in the morning.
3. A fun Saturday night yesterday! It was so great to just go and be with people and have such a good time with them last night. I'm glad Jonathon asked me on a date because I had a really fun time with everyone and it was nice to have something to look forward to on a Saturday night again, it brightened my whole week.
4. Something to look forward to! I'm really excited for thanksgiving break and being able to go to my hometown and see my favorite people. I don't know why, but there is a hope and happiness in having something exciting to look forward to. This leads me into-
5. Trevor. I am thankful for him and every thing about him. Even when he falls asleep while I am waiting to talk to him, because it gives us a chance to grow closer by working through it and to be patient with each other. It also makes me even more grateful for better conversations when he doesn't fall asleep! I'm thankful that we care about each other so much that it's always worth it for us to work through struggles or rough spots. I have never regretted it.

Today I am thankful for...

1. Trevor. I am so thankful he could come down this weekend and that it went so well. I'm thankful for his love and the best friend that he is to me. I'm thankful that we could spend some time having fun and bonding and remembering how much we like each other. I am thankful that he could make it back safely and that we had such a good weekend in every way. :)
2. Sunday naps. today I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the couch while my roommates watched hannah montana. it was so good to sleep and get some good rest for the first time in a few days.
3. pictures and photography. it was so good to have april take pics of me and Trevor yesterday, they turned out awesome and i'm thankful that we could all go do that and that I can look at the pictures and remember.

Today I am thankful for...

1. Friends. Tonight I got to go with Bea to the top of Dixie Rock and then we just kind of explored other spots too. It was fun to just get to talk with her and get to know her better. Friends can make such a difference in my day.
2. People who have gone through the same things that I'm currently going through. It's so good to hear their advice and know that they have made it past this point and are doing well. I also love it, because they are so supportive and understanding, because they have been in my shoes. It's really a blessing.
3. Something to look forward to. I haven't looked forward to weekends since I've been down here as much, because nothing really seems to happen. But I've been excited to for this weekend all week and it's almost here! I can't wait to see my best friend and spend time doing fun things together. It's going to be great, and even more, it's so good to have something to look forward to!
