Giving Thanks

At the beginning of this month I decided to keep a Thankful Journal to prepare me for Thanksgiving.  I have loved taking a little time each day and recording what I am thankful for.  More than anything I think this became a tender mercy journal.  By looking for things I was extra thankful for each day I was able to see not only the many blessings from my Heavenly Father, but the tender mercies I am blessed with every day.  I have so many things to be thankful for, but I have been reminded time and time again of three main things that I couldn't live without.

1.  My Family.  I love my family.  They are always there for me and I am so excited to grow closer as we get older.

2. My Religion specifically The Atonement. 

3.  All of my supportive friends.

Music With A Message

I love the resources of the gospel.  It is so amazing!  Recently I found this little thing called Music With A Message.  It is a thirty minute radio program that explores gospel themes through inspirational music and poignant narration.  Each episode investigates on important gospel topic. These episodes have become a huge comfort for me as I have put them on my iPod so when i need a little break from the stresses of the world I always have these comforting words on call.  I would love to share these with you.  Simply click here. Thank you for letting me share this!

Veteran's Day

I realize that I am a little behind, but I would like to say Thank You.  Thank you so all the service men and women.  I love living in the United States and am so thankful for the opportunity I have to live here free.  I would like to especially thank my sweet Grandfather who is shown below.  

Love you and THANK YOU!!

Thank you Provo.

Dear Provo,

Thank you for letting me come visit this weekend.  It was wonderful!  There are two main reasons why it was such a blast.

1. Friends.

I loved visiting my long lost friends!!  Thank you guys so much for making this such a wonderful experience.  I love and miss you all!

Oh Annalise!

Oh Becca Anne!!

Love all of these girls! 

We be gettin pretty FRESH @ Farrs!

2. Halloween Half.  
I was able to run my second half marathon.  Whoot Whoot! (creepy I know)

Both of these experiences helped me learn so very much!  I learned that first off the Lord knows where I am suppose to be and has blessed me with the experiences that I need, but the ability to keep the friendships I value and love so very much.  I also learned that the Lord has blessed us with wonderful bodies.  What amazing creations he has for us.  Also I am so thankful for my supportive parents who were so awesome and drove down to Provo to support me.  I am such a lucky girl talk about blessed in so many ways!
