Things I'm Thankful for Pictorally

My AWESOME job

Crockpot Soups 

My Super cool roommates 

 That warm and toasty feeling you get when you drink hot chocolate while it's snowing outside.  Oh yeah.  That hits the spot.

Missionaries!  And the snail mail system of paper and envelopes!

Peach candles

Need I say more?  This stuff is GOLD. 

 My number one missionary :] and the letters he writes back to me!

ALL of these kiddos:

 

They light up my life!

And I just LOVE this picture.

Flowers.  So pretty.  And just nature in general.  I feel like all of the many wonderful creations on this Earth just prove that there is a God and He can do marvelous things.  I mean, have you SEEN the mountains???  And sunsets??  They're absolutely gorgeous!  And I know, it's because of science and reactions and stuff.  But who do you think made it all so that it would work out so beautifully?  I know it was Christ and Heavenly Father.  I don't know if they made the rules or if they knew the rules and then used those rules to create the beautiful world which we live on, but I do know that either way, it's because of them.  Just some food for thought.

What things are you thankful for?? 

November: A Great Month to Be Born

And now, the beginning of thankful posts.  In order to avoid blowing up my blog, I shall post once per week.  We're going to start a thankful tree in our apartment, so hopefully I'll get some pictures (my picture-taking device shattered into almost a million pieces, so these posts might actually be a little bare ... )

Day 1: (Friday, I woke up at 6:00am)
I am thankful for doctors and the fact that they are willing to go through a million years of medical school to help other people and keep us all healthy.  Plus, they deal with gross stuff like blood and I'm pretty sure I could never in a bajillion light years do that.

Day 2: (Saturday, I attended two recitals)
I am thankful for the ability to hear and enjoy music made by others and that I have such talented friends who are willing and brave enough to share their talents with others.  Nathan and Lyz, you guys both did a fantastic job! (And Camille- great accompanying!)

Day 3: (Sunday, fast Sunday which despite the name, actually goes by really slow)
I am thankful for Christ and the faith which I have in him.  He has done so much for me already and I will never be able to repay Him.  And the most amazing part is that He will continue to do things for me and help me despite my inability to repay Him.

They Did The Monster Mash!

Happy All Hallow's Eve Everyone!

We dressed up Chick-fil-A like the magical land of Oz!  It was so great!!  We had lots of different costumes from munchkins to the great wizard himself!!

The student managers chose Disney villains as our theme.  I dressed up as the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland!  We also had Yzma, Hades, and the Evil Queen.

For Halloween Night festivities ... 

We partied it up at a tri-stake Halloween dance at the Eclipse Warehouse near the Trax station!

Jenna and I went as cats!

What was your costume?? 

(I'll bet it was AMAZING!)

Any fan favorites??

(We had Rufio and Bob Ross at our ward party!)
