feeling grateful

Today I'm feeling grateful for so many things.

Here are just a few:

1. my partner in life. and everything we do together.

his smile, his hard work, his positive way, his calm demeanor, his humor,
his love, and his excitement for the future.

and that he picked me.

2. My family. my best friends and greatest examples.

parents who sacrifice everything for me and continue to love no matter what.
and siblings who gave me the best memories and bring the most laughter to my life.

3. A knowledge and belief of the gospel from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. a teaching
that is built upon happiness and most importantly the opportunity to live with our families forever.

4. My education and the chance I had to receive it. a gospel centered university that focuses
not only on teaching but building a better you. The knowledge and relationships I've gained while
here that I can now keep forever.

5. Good friends (old and new) who constantly build me up and are there to remind me what's
important and how to have fun :) ones who gave me crazy memories that leave
me happy and smiling. And those who are strong where I'm weak.

their many talents that I can continue to learn from and that add variety to life.
grateful to be and have been inspired by you.

6. Our future. not knowing what it is but that it has the potential to be bright.
the fact that it's teaching me how to live and what to live for. and to be very patient.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope the day is filled with "gratefuls."
