Gratitude.

Being that THANKSGIVING is two days away, I think it's only appropriate to write a blog post about gratitude and how thankful I am for everything I have in my life. Maybe a little cheesy, but it's this time of year. I think it's highly appropriate.

The first thing I'm thankful for is my family. They drove down last night and I'll get to spend the whole week with them at my grandparents with aunts and uncles and cousins. But today, I got to hang out with just my parents, brother and sisters. It was a huge blessing and I have not stopped smiling the whole day. I love my family, they are the greatest, and I'm so lucky to be sealed forever with them.
The second thing I'm thankful for is Friday classes. That's because I don't have any, so today being the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and a Friday class schedule instead of a Tuesday class schedule, I had no classes!
The third thing I'm thankful for is my brand-spanking new job!! I've interviewed and called about and gone into the store for this job I really want to get, at a board shop called zumiez. And today the manager gave me a call to let me know I had the job!! It was a little exciting, and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity it presents.
The fourth thing I'm thankful for is that I attend BYU, what I consider to be just about the greatest university in the world. It hasn't been easy for me the two and a half semesters I've been here, but I have learned so much and had so many experiences that I would never give up or trade. I love this university, and that as a high school senior I received an acceptance letter telling me I would be able to go here.
The fifth thing I'm thankful for is the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The fact that this item is fifth on my list doesn't mean it's less important than anything else here, that's simply the order I got to it in. I'm so grateful for the gospel, that I have been raised in it, and my testimony of it.

There are so many more blessings I'm grateful for that I could sit and name, but this blog would get a little too long and tedious. I would though like to express gratitude for my awesome roommates, my  wonderful friends, and my incredible boyfriend.
I have a lot to be thankful for.
