day of thanks

This past week, more than anything else, I wanted to be home for Thanksgiving. DESPERATELY.

However, as I spent the day with the Abbotts in Nevada, I realized that I am so blessed that when I can't go home for the holiday, I have somewhere that I can go that is almost as good.

I am thankful for so many things in my life:
-FHE
-music
-smiles
-sunshine
-my family
-good health
-cell phones
-a place to live
-the scriptures
-the Priesthood
-being able to sleep
-personal revelation
-the power of prayer
-a car to get me around
-my Savior, Jesus Christ
-the opportunity to learn
-heating and air conditioning
-the United States of America
-the fact that I never have to go hungry
-amazing, amazing, AMAZING friends
-BYU...it's really an incredible university
-challenges and opportunities for growth
-markers & highlighters (just because I like them)
-a loving Heavenly Father who is infinitely patient with me

"Live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which He doth bestow upon you." -Alma 34:38
