OH Thank Goodness!

Thanksgiving, as it should, has really made me think about all the things I have to be grateful for. I really am SO SO blessed. So, here are just a few examples of how blessed I am!
  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The gospel has blessed my life in countless ways. I feel the power and blessings of the atonement every day. I know my Heavenly Father loves me. I feel so lucky to know the truth of the gospel and to be able to live and learn about it. I am grateful that it allows families to be together forever. I am grateful for a knowledge of the plan of salvation.
  • I have an incredible family! I love my family so much! I have wonderful parents that taught me the gospel. They raised me to be the person I am today. I was very lucky to be raised the way I was. I always knew I was very loved, I always had food in my stomach and a roof over my head. We may not have always had a TON, but all my needs were met! I have wonderful siblings that are so entertaining! haha They always are willing to listen, and give me advice and help in any way that they can! We get along really well now that we are older.
  • I have a truly amazing boyfriend! This has been the best year and almost a half! There were honestly times in my life that I thought I would never have someone like him in my life. Things just fell into place and brought us together. I have LOVED every second of our time together. He is so caring, so interested in other people, so genuine in everything he does. He is ssooo smart in so many ways. He has taught me so much about relationships. I can tell that he loves me because of the way he treats me and the things he does to help me. He is a strength to me. He has such a way of doing/being exactly what I need. He makes me laugh. He laughs at my stupid jokes. He is sweet and works so hard! He gives great back rubs and helps me destress. I wouldn't have it any other way!
  • I have a car that I love and that runs!
  • I have a roof over my head and food on the table.
  • I have great friends. Most of my close friends I don't get to talk to very often, and I miss TERRIBLY but I still strongly value in my life. (You know who you are) So many of you have been a big part of my life and who I am today!
  • I have a good job that most days, doesn't even feel like a job to me. I can pay my bills and do what I love.
  • I have a great class this year that is small. My students are cute and friendly
  • modern technology!
  • chocolate!
  • dr. pepper
  • when I get naps
  • being warm!!! showers, blankets, clothes, whatever it takes.
  • The list goes on! 
What are you thankful for??
