Thankful

Since it is the month of November and Thanksgiving is right around the corner I'd like to share with you what I am thankful for. I am truly blessed with all that I have in my life and I know that I could create a list that would go on forever but these are what are most important to me.

I am thankful for my education. It pushes me every day to become a stronger, more knowledgeable person. With this I am also thankful for my job because without it I wouldn't be able to go to school. I am also grateful for all the help my mom has given me. I am thankful that I get this opportunity so that I can pursue my dream of helping children children and making a difference in the world.



I am thankful for the gospel. Without it I wouldn't be where I am today. I know that because of the temple, I will be sealed to Nic for eternity and that our family will be forever. I am thankful to know that I have a Heavenly Father and a Savior who love me no matter what. I am thankful for the missionaries that serve in this world, especially the ones that taught me. I am thankful for the spirit that guides me and teaches me. I am thankful for Jesus Christ who atoned for my sins so that I am able to experience true joy.



I am thankful for my best friend Bara!! 9 years later and I know we will still be best friends forever. She is amazing. I am thankful for all the times she has been there and listened to me when I was upset or happy. I am thankful that she always supports me no matter what. I am thankful that she loves me and that we are still so close even though we live 3 hours apart most days. If there was anyone that has been put in my life for a reason I know it was her. I love all the fun memories we have made, inside jokes we share, and time we get to spend together. I love you my d.... l..... s..... :)



I am thankful for a wonderful family that has encouraged me to reach for my dreams, supported me when I needed them , and loved me even though our lives are different. I am thankful for my mom who in many times of her life put everything on the line for me and my brother. She has been and always will be my hero. I am thankful for a dad who believes in me and who is an amazing cook! I am thankful for a brother who is so dedicated in school and is willing to put his life on the line for our country. I am thankful for a stepmom who has taught me so many things and loved me as if I were her own. I am thankful for two stepbrothers who make my life fun and happy when I am around them.





I am also thankful for my other family that I will share the same name with this May. I am thankful for Nic's mom and all the love and kindness she has shown me. I am thankful for Nic's dad and all the times he has made me laugh.
(I don't have any pictures with them yet, sad I know!)

I am especially thankful for love and when I think of love I think of Nic. I am thankful that I was blessed with a man that loves me for exactly who I am. I am thankful that we share so many things in common. He brings out the best in me and is incredibly supportive. He is the sweetest boy I have ever met... let me just share with you what he did for me today... it was dumping down snow outside and I wore thin shoes that soaked the water all the way through my socks. He left work, drove to my apartment, brought me 3 (not just 1) but 3 different pairs of shoes so that I would have one that matched my outfit and a new pair of socks. Words can't even express how kind and charitable he is. Since the day that I met Nic, every day after that has been a fairy tale. I will always love him and will forever be thankful for him.



Happy November!!
