grATTITUDE

Mostly likely I won't be able to blog for until after thanksgiving, so here is my gratitude list. I know I don't think about what I am grateful for often enough, but I'm just like the rest of the world-always trying to improve myself.
the 'rents- M&D you are so awesome and are always willing to come help me. I am so grateful for you examples to me and you guys never hesitate to push me for the better.
My sibs- My siblings are probably my bestest of best friends. They are always looking out for me and helping me see what is best in my life, and also telling me what not to do. Which is awesome. We have lots of fun together, usually poking fun at the 'rents. Or laughing about Jake's goofiness {what does kama'aoekle mahana upa mean? "MOOOOM, they're teasing me!!!" jake, thats exactly rightt!} Or laughing about Chuck {my alter ego}, hes been with me since I was 12. But now he's shy thanks to their "teachings".
my Friends- Oh how lucky I am that I am smart enough to be around friends like mine. All of them have great personalities and have their own qualities that I wish to acquire.
this Gospel- It truly is the "good news". Nothing on earth like it, and sometimes I take advantage of it, but I am so grateful for it!
my education- Its such a great experience and opportunity that I get to attend a university, where the subjects of study are broad but the gospel is center.
my country- the freedoms that we have here. I am glad that I have the freedom of speech. I am glad that I can stand up for what I believe in, just as much as the men in Boston can. I am glad that I can choose who I would like to see run this Country. I am glad that I live here. I wish democracy were everywhere. Im glad that I, as a woman, have the chances to vote.

Anywho, gratefullness is more than just a list, its an ATTITUDE.

now.....
Im off to see E and H in Minnesota {this is what kyle said, "do you like to eat cheese? 'cause they got a lot of it--Oh wait, thats Wisconsin"}.



i know this is awful...

but tell me you didn't smile when you saw it?
