i'm grateful.

i'm grateful for so many things. i have been blessed with a good, good life.

 i have a dad who would literally do and give me anything i ever needed or asked for. i have a mom who is more amazing than words can describe. she supports me in everything i do. i have three awesome brothers who i would never trade for the world. they have my back, and they make me happy.

i have the three greatest friends in the whole world. they're gorgeous, talented, and have some of the sweetest spirits out there. most people are lucky to have just one best friend as great as my three best friends are.

i'm blessed to have been thrown into a whole new environment this year. it's helped me to find out who i really am, what i really want. it's made me way more independent, one hundred times more out going. it's helped me make so many new friends. friends that i do not know where i would be without them.

i'm grateful to have been born into the gospel, heaven knows where i would be without it. it's helped me through some really tough times.

i'm grateful for the opportunity i have had to be poor...seriously people, you haven't lived life until you look at your checking account and see one hundred dollars staring back at you. twenty years down the road i will look back on that and laugh, it's really quite comical being poor, and i'm glad that i have to experience it.

and since i'm honestly dirt poor i'm grateful for the opportunity i have to work. i got a job today, and i am so excited about it. i get to work in a home with disabled people. i get to help them accomplish every day tasks. i get to take them out on the town to have fun, grocery shop, and get exercise...and quite honestly i am SO excited for it. i cannot even wait for monday to come so i can start.

i'm blessed daily. thank you all for your examples, your prayers, and your friendship. i would not be here without you.

this november take the time to reflect on all of your blessings. it's really a neat deal this thing called life.
