I am Thankful for...

I love Thanksgiving, I love the food, I love family and I love the occasion to think about all the things I am grateful for. Although my list could go on for a mile, here are a few things that I am especially thankful for this season.

1. Every good list starts with family, what a blessing!

2. The oppurtunity to go to school and get an education.

3. The opportunities and freedom to TRAVEL

4. Thoughtful friends who send nice little messages that really make my day!
5. The gift of creativity and being surrounded by inspiring design
6. A passion for music
7. All things that the gospel entails. This week I am especially grateful for a loving bishop and this awesome book he graciously gave me to read.
8. Elder Eugdorf's talk on HOPE. What an inspiration to get us through these crazy times.
9. Coats, Jackets and Boots...I am grateful for fun coats and jackets that keep me warm and are fun to wear.
9. Amazing Friends
10. A yummy Thanksgiving Dinner!

What to do on a Friday night?... Go to Snowbird! First, round up all your snow gear and head to the lift for some great tubing. If you are me, crash on your first run down. Make sure to take pictures on the ski lift and in the nets below. Then check into your room at the lodge and throw on your swim suit. Head up to the roof top pool and enjoy the hot tub! When it gets too hot, go back inside and make hot chocolate in the coffee maker. For first time coffee maker users: it takes a LONG time to heat water. That is what to do on a Friday night!
