Because I had leisure time, I had time to reflect on my life, still don't know if it is a good thing to get myself thinking. I am trying this new self therapy to be grateful for my life and my body instead of always thinking of my physical flaws.
Lets see, a year ago I was living with Shaela at Parkway in Orem, we were way close, I was still friends with many people that I don't even speak to now days. Jessica, Anthony, Brennan, Travis, Eric, Brad, those are to name a few people. I used to wonder all the time how they are doing, but now I am so happy with my life that it doesn't matter. I now understand myself more because of them, either to know how to approach a situation or how not to. All in all those are people from my past that I will never forget.
I am grateful to have Chad by my side, he is becoming my best friend, I am really starting to trust him with my life stories and ultimately letting him get to know the heart of my life. It's crazy how much we have in common, he seriously knows how to put a smile on my face. His birthday is this Thursday! I am hoping that I can make it a wonderful one, he is going to the New Moon premier with my sisters and I. :D I still am trying to figure out what he sees in me that keeps him wanting to come around more, again another therapy task haha.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and I want to tell you what I am truly grateful for. I love this holiday because I don't know how you can be negative when you think about everything life has given you. I am grateful for:
Family-
My Mother, when she walked me to kindergarten, and helped me move into my first place. Always giving me everything I need, always being the first one to apologize after a argument.
My Father, never failing to give me the exact advice that I need and always letting me know that I am his little girl.
My sister Jessica, when she wrote me a apologizing note about not going to my concert, when I hugged her for the first time in a year in half off her mission. All the bathroom moments, knowing that I am the 'prettier' sister. :)
My Brother Chad, for being the best example on being driven in education, for always being faithful to his religion and what he believes in, and for making me dinner multiple times.
My Brother Chase, for always making me laugh and dancing to the Chipmunk movies, sharing Popsicles in our younger years. For being an amazing young man who knows his standards.
My Brother Dakota, for always giving me a hug when I truly needed one. For always helping me with anything at anytime. For being the cleanest man in the shared bathroom!
My sister Jante, for making movies together, having a contagious laugh, making crafts and goodies with me. For being a beautiful daughter of God.
My Sister Makenzie, for being so smart in every task she takes upon herself, for being a guide and example to her little sister. For her braveness with all her hardships in her life, never forgetting to smile.
My Sister Megan, for all the wonderful hugs and kisses during church, sitting on my lap playing with my hair and giving butterfly kisses. For never forgetting to tell me that she loves me, and making the amazing choice to be baptized.
My Dog Sugar, yes I am grateful for my cutie pie, she has been by my side since I was eight, giving me kisses and letting me know that she loves me. Being there when I don't want to cry in front of anyone.
My Relatives, for always making me excited to see them, the hugs, support, and love.
My Good Friend Emily, for always understanding me, staying by my side through it all, screaming in my Honda, Dancing crazy in my apt. playing phase ten, and going to institute. Helping me appreciate the gospel in more depth.
My Friend Shaela, for being so good to talk to, going to dinner, jumping on the beds, making yummie meals, and sticking it out. Never failing to let people know who she is and that she loves her life.
My Room mates, for always making me laugh!!! Letting me in their lives so quickly, trusting me, and being the sisters I have always wanted! (No par intention)
My Boyfriend Chad, for pushing me to open up my thoughts, sharing my first kiss, treating me with love. Looking at me with respect and care. Always making me laugh, and always making my day more wonderful. For being the amazing, and caring man that he is, for letting me in.
My co-workers, for always giving me a big smile every work day, having wonderful conversations that help me more than they will ever know.There are many other things that I am so grateful for, but one of the biggest ones is being apart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It has made me who I am today, and will continue to unfold my life ahead.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
