When you are discouraged, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!

"God gave you a GIFT of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used ONE of them to say THANK YOU?"

O a week it has been. My heart has been so full this week. With thanksgiving approaching fast, i have thought a ton about what i am grateful for. This week has been such a roller coaster, happiness, sadness, crying, smiling, laughing, joking, teasing, etc (p.s. i am NOT bi-polar, i promise!) hahah but the Christmas music on 99.9 has got me thinking lots about things i am grateful for. here are just a few (okay the ones i had pics for):

Temples!!! Temple blessings, the beauty, and of COURSE, Christmas lights are approaching
Good attitudes. I love dancing, laughing, and having fun with my best friends!
p.s. this was from sophomore year... awesome!

Births! I love the miracle of birth. it brings tears to my eyes every time. i love new members joining our family! here is sweet maddix and his birth!


Missionaries! now, i realize this picture is of anney holding a sign, but chandler's arrival at the airport was one of the most exciting nights ever. and to see now how much Anney loves Chandler, it makes me so grateful for missionaries who serve full time missions!

Fun loving nieces that let me play with them!!! ahh i love these little girls. they truly are 3 of my best friends!!!

Sisters!!! I love having sisters. even though this is only 3 of them, mere is missing, but i LOVE my sisters SO much. they are the greatest examples to me, and i couldn't have asked for anyone better.

Family Trips!!! I love going on vacations with my family. nothing beats a weekend filled with 28 of my favorite people!

GOOOOOD friends. this was takin in high school, but i love my friends. they are such good examples to me, and we truly have SO Much fun together!!!
