Thankful Things Week 4

So... tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. I'm excited to spend time with my family this weekend and remember all of my many blessings. Ten things I'm thankful for this week:

• All of my happy friends who seem to know me better than I know myself at times.
• The 4 seasons in a year. It is proof that change is a good thing because the earth is beautiful is all 4 seasons. Change can be a beautiful thing! :) 
• My fingers that make this blog possible
• The pilgrims who believed that religion was important and came to America to have the freedom to practice the religion of their choice.
• Flavor blasted goldfish crackers. I have recently fallen in love with them.
• My favorite blankets to keep me warm
• My wonderful Mom for always reminding me that she loves and appreciates me.
• Clothes, shoes, socks, jackets, cardigans 
• My extended family. I love spending time with them and seeing them makes me so happy :) 
• My grandparents. For showing the best example of how to live and endure to the end.

Cheap date night with the bestie

So today in class I decided I wanted to use my free meal from Cafe Rio and maybe go see a movie at the 2 dollar theater with Tiffany. Sooo I texted her and she looked up movies and found The One which is a movie we have been wanting to see so we were excited for our lovely date for the evening. I was so excited to finally get to eat out and go spend a little bit of money and do something fun. I have had to watch what I spend more recently because of the expenses of life (a little reality wake up call for me :) so being able to get out was exciting haha. I fell asleep and woke up and was in a weird sleepy/sad mood until I got a letter in the mail from my best friend who is serving a mission for the LDS church. He is so great and letters are the best. After I read my letter, Tiffany came over and we went to Cafe Rio and our movie. I spent $2.50 the entire night thanks to my free meal :) I think that was the best thing about the night besides spending quality time with my bestie. We laughed the whole night. We have so many inside jokes and think we're so funny even though we may not be that funny half of the time. The movie was pretty good but it has a depressing ending. The best line from the movie was: "The only way I'll see my name in light is if I change my name to Emergency Exit." :) So the moral of the story is to go on a cheap date with a friend and enjoy life :) Goodbye.

Thankful November

It's hard to believe that this year is almost over! This semester for school has gone by so fast and I am excited for the upcoming holidays. I love this time of the year when the leaves turn colors and its cold enough to pull out all my favorite cardigans and jackets. :) What a lovely time! I decided I want to post 10 things every week that I am thankful for. 

• The opportunity to attend college and learn more about things I am passionate about.
• My job and the many things I have learned from the sweet boy I tend. 
• My parents and the love and support they continue to give me.
• My brother, sister and brother in law for being my best friends and always helping me out.
• My best friends who love me and laugh with me.
• The blessings of the gospel and the knowledge that I can be with my family forever.
• My toothbrush and toothpaste
• Letters from my missionary friends :)
• A roof over my head
• The beauty of this incredible earth, especially the community I live in. The red hill and snow covered mountains are a simple reminder that my Heavenly Father loves me. :)
