Happy Thanksgiving!

So, of course today is thanksgiving, and I must say, no matter how cliche it really is, I am so thankful for all that I have! I have so much, and there are always more blessings coming to me.
I mean I have the best roommates ever! We all have so much fun all of the time, it makes life just so much better all the time. I have the coolest best friend in the world! And the best family ever, I know everyone thinks they have the coolest family ever, well I hate to break it to you, but mine really is cooler than yours ;) And of course now I have an amazing boyfriend whom I truly enjoy spending time with. I just am always given so many wonderful and great things.
I got another letter from mike, and I just love seeing the korean he is learning! It's so cool, all gibberish to me, but cool never the less! anyways, this will be short because I don't feel like typing, but just know that I am so grateful for all that I have. And you should be too.

Mini Vaca!

So I went to Park City this weekend with my family. It was alot of fun, I really enjoyed myself. We got alot of shopping done, and went to this amazing steak house and then went shopping again, and then we came home :) It was really good to get to see my cousins and uncle again, they are all growing up. All be it not so much the way I would have thought, but they are. Sometimes it is so weird for me to see how differently they were raised. I mean we came from the same family, my mom and their dad are siblings, but it is just completely different. I got the cutest cream colored coat, for only $25! Shirts for .99 cents jeans for $10, it was amazing! I also got this really pretty blue sweater, I love it! it's a good color for sure!
We went to wendy's on our way out of town, and for some reason I just decided that a chicken sandwhich sounded good, and normally I don't like them. But oh my heavens!! I loved it! Spicy chicken sandwhich, if you've never had one, you need to! They are my new favorite thing. thriving ivory and chicken sandwhiches, who could ask for more?
Tor got a chance to really see my family in their element and she had a great time, I love being able to show my family to someone I care about, and for them to actually get to see it. It was just great!
I got another letter from Mike, and it made me cry this time. I love reading letters from missionaries! They are so uplifting and so spiritual, it makes me so happy! But what he said was something I had been struggling with, and wondering about alot. and he answered me before I even had a chance to ask him. That is the hand of God in our lives right there. I have seen it so much lately, it such obvious ways! I feel so blessed to be able to see so many great and wonderful things happening in my life. I really can't even tell you how happy i am to have the gospel, I don't know how I would function without it, because it really is just who I am. it such an amazing thing we have, this church, and I am so glad I have the chance to know about it!

So it's been a while since I have written anything on here, so i shall update it!
I am having the best time with my apartment! We have the best assortment of roommates any one could ask for. They are all so amazing.
Whitney is amazing, she is so spiritually strong and loving, and the most fun ever! She is the most popular ;)
Megan is so intelligent, she is just wonderful and fun to be around.
Torie is of course my best friend, and who could ask for a better one really?
And of course Lindsey, our honorary roommate! We all love her so, and she is so amazingly talented at everything she does!
We have so much fun together, this shall be a time in my life that I know i will always look back on and smile,and some day when I am told and gray, I will be telling about the time we all went to bombay house and watched dr horrible, and my children will always think I am crazy :)
I got a blessing the other night from Brother Godfrey in my bishopric, and it was so amazing! It was just what I needed, and it really helped me alot. It seems that whenever things get hard for me I am always given that little boost that will help me to keep going, even when I don't think I can anymore.
We went to bombay house the other night for snooty foods, it was alot of fun, and really yummy, we had fun. We then went and saw mama mia, which was two hours of my life that I shall never get back unfortunatly. But the next night we watched Dr Horrible, the funniest movie ever! I loved it, really, watch it for sure! "The world is a mess, and I just need to rule it"
All in all, life is good, trials are around all the time, and somedays it's worse than others, but it is never too much. It gets hard, but it's all so much more than worth it in the end. I may not understand many things, nor could I explain most things, but why and what may not be the most important questions in your life. "There will be times in your life when you want to be sad, it is at those times when you can either fall or keep going on with what you have been told and what you know that will decide the rest of your life and your eternity" Who are you and what do you want out of life, maybe think about :)
