- One that sticks out to me is the Priesthood and the gospel, ever since leaving for school I have realized I cannot go through out this life by myself. With midterms, homework, tests, work, and boys, life as we know it has gotten very stressful and hectic. I look into the the unknown and have no idea what is going to happen. I don't have a set plan and as of right now I am completely okay with that. I know that if I stay close to my heavenly father and truly pray for guidance, everything will be okay. And when I truly feel like my world is falling apart I know I can always turn to my father for comfort and for a blessing at any time. Being at school it has been hard to realize that my father isn't living under the same roof. I can't just turn to him anymore. I am truly grateful for the priesthood holders in my life that would drop anything to come to my aid.
- I am so blessed to be a member of my family. My relationship with my dad and mom has grown so much since moving to school and I feel like I can be open with both my parents about anything. I am so blessed to have the support system I have and I hope to one day repay my parents for all the stress and craziness I put my parents through. I will admit I was not the easiest child to raise. I was and still am a very strong headed child that does not like being told what to do. When they would tell me to not do something it made me want to do it that much more. And I am so grateful for the wonderful brother and sister I have. Camille was always someone that accepted me into her friend circle and she always tried her best to include me in everything she did. I am so happy for her and James, but at the same time I am sad to see her leave the house and start a new chapter in her life. She's always been MY sister, I've never had to share her with anyone before. Brice has grown up into a fine young man and although he can be a butt head sometimes I still love him! We have bonded a lot over the past year and I can see him growing up into a fine fin gentlemen.
- I am grateful for the chance I have to get an education. At time I complain and whine and truly hate school, but in the long run I will be very very blessed for enduring to the end and completing my education. I am so blessed to have the resources to go to school and full support for my parents. I know that one day it will become very useful and I will be thankful I stuck to it.
- And of course we can't forget all my friends that keep me sane. At times living with 5 other girls I find myself going crazy from all the estrogen living under one roof. I have gained some amazing friendships that I am so grateful for. They don't care that I'm a freakin' nut, or that at times I can be a spaz. They accept me the way I am and I feel truly blessed that I can turn to them with anything I need.
- Oh and I almost forgot Thanksgiving break, who doesn't enjoy 3 days of school off. I'm pretty sure its the best break of the entire school year. What other break do you go spend time with your family and eat until you're beyond full? Yeah I'm pretty sure its by far the best.
I am so grateful for everything I have and whatever the future may hold. I am excited to see wait lies before me and am ready for whatever is thrown my way!
And I'm thankful for Mikelle! ;)
