Today, I am Grateful..

While I was leaving Church today, I realized that I have so many things in life to be grateful for. And since I love making lists, here I go. (:

I am Grateful for:

• A beautiful family that is so incredibly close. We really are like Best Friends. All of us.
  I Love You Mom, Dad, Brandon, Kristin, Tyler, Ann and Brent.
• Wonderful Parents who have been married for 29 years today! Go them, right?
• I went to see my cousin, Steven's, farewell today. He gave such a lovely talk and I even learned something new. (I had no idea that Joseph Smith translated the entire Book of Mormon in only 65 days!) He taught how the Book of Mormon is the Keystone of our religion and without it, we have nothing. Although I already knew this, it was shown to me in a different light. I have really become close to Steven in the past couple years. I will miss him terribly, but I know that there are people in Paraguay who are in need of this Gospel and who better than Steven to give them that gift? Love you Stevie!!
• Also, at my cousin's farewell- My cousin from the other side, Emily, gave a talk and she did a wonderful job. Even though she is younger than me, I really look up to her.
• Missionary Work. One of my best guy friends, Tyler Shaw is serving a mission in New Mexico right now and through simple emails, he has been able to touch our friends back home. My really good friend Nuthaniel came to church with me for his first time today, and he didn't hate it. :)
• The Gospel. 'nuff said.
• My Dad. He was set apart as the first counselor in the Bishopbric. it is nice to have someone in our house who honors his Priesthood. I can't tell you how many times I have been blessed by this.
• Wonderful friends who are there for support. I was feeling kinda down on Saturday night and my friend, Jeremy dropped everything to meet me for a movie to cheer me up.
• To live in this wonderful nation.
• That this economy hasn't affected my family too bad.
• Pictures to capture unforgettable moments.
• My iPhone. Love it. Best Purchase I have made in... well, forever.
• Celestial Marriage... I honestly Can't wait. Just need to find an eligible bachelor. ;)
• Even though I honestly hate it sometimes, I am grateful for the opportunity to go to college; to further my education in order to start a good career.
• For a job that I LOVE so much at the U (not at Archibald's). This job has brought me to 6 of the best people that I have ever met and I know that we will be friends forever. I have grown closer to them than any other group of people in my life. Also, it pays my tuition so that is awesome.
• Well obviously this list can go on and on, but I have some work I need to get done.
  
  Goodnight!
