Oops...

Well, I wasn't as good at posting what I am thankful for for the ENTIRE month...oops. I guess I will try to be better next year. Starting on December 1st I am going to try and find a Christmas story to post for every day until Christmas. I will try to be better at that too. Right now I am at my grandma's house in Utah. I have been here since Monday. I wasn't able to go home to Washington for Thanksgiving this year but at least I was able to spend it with family. This week was pretty fun. My grandma had to work on Tuesday and Wednesday so I went to my aunt's house during the day. We ran errands and just hung out. Then on Thursday was THANKSGIVING!! Lots of people came to grandma's house for dinner. Unfortunately we missed out on Laura and her family and David and his family. We also missed out on Annie and Kelly because they were at home fixing food for their other relatives. It was fun nonetheless. After dinner we sat around and talked and then played some Scattegories. I had a good time! Then, on Friday we didn't really do much. Grandma, Linda, Cassidy and I went to Walgreens and Costco to look for some deals but we didn't find much. Then, we went back to grandma's house and I worked on homework for hours on end. I'm writing a book report for my history class and the book we have to read is SO boring! It puts me to sleep every time! Grandma works at the temple on Fridays so I stayed home while she went to do that. After a couple of hours, Andy came to pick me up and we went to eat and shop at Ikea. They are finishing their basement so they needed to get some furniture for their basement. Today I've gotten a lot more of my report done and later we are going to go see "The Help" at the cheap theater! It should be fun. All in all, it's bee a good break from school....and Idaho! :)

Month of Thanks- Day 5

Last night my roommates, Megan and Emily, and I went to see the movie Abduction at the cheap theater. It was SO good!! I loved it a lot...and not just because Taylor Lautner is in it. :) It's one of my new favorite movies. However, when we walked out to go get shakes before we headed back home it was snowing. Not my favorite idea. Luckily I was wearing a nice coat. Remember a couple of days ago when I said I was thankful for the nice weather? Well I take it back! Now it's snowing outside. Today I'm thankful for hot chocolate, cozy blankets and Christmas music. Christmas just makes me so happy! I'm sitting her on my laptop drinking hot chocolate, cuddled up in my blanket and listening to my Christmas playlist on Pandora. Gotta love it!! I don't care if it's only the 5th of November. It's never too early for Christmas music. :)

Month of Thanks- Day 4

Well I already missed one day. This not looking good for the rest of the month. In my defense yesterday was crazy. Today I had a take home exam due at 9 in the morning for my special education class. Last night as I was working on it my computer erased what I had been working on (I was about halfway done when it was deleted). Needless to say, I was up ALL night finishing it. Then, this morning I guess I fell asleep but I'm not sure what time that happened. The next thing I know it's 8:45 and I need to be up in the Hinckley building with my papers printed off by 9. How was this supposed to happen? I jumped out of bed, threw on a pair of pants and a coat (I kept my pajama shirt on :)) and ran out the door. I first had to run to the Kimball and print off my papers and I made it there in less than 10 minutes (which is a record for me). The computer was especially fast this morning. Usually it takes a few minutes to login but thankfully it wasn't slow today. I had all of this printed and I was out of the Kimball by 8:59. How was I supposed to get to the Hinckley in just 2 minutes? I wasn't. That's the answer to that question. I raced from the Kimball to the Hinckley building and I got there at 9:01. That is also a record for me. I got to my class in just 16 minutes after I woke up. I have never done that before. Now that you know the premise for my thanks for today I will continue on into that part of my blog. I am so thankful for the fact that I finished my assignment on time and that it is turned in and I never have to think about it ever again! I am also so thankful that I made it to class in the time that I did. I honestly don't think that I did that by myself. I have seriously never done that before and I wasn't even that worn out or out of breath by the time I got to class. Now to celebrate the hardest week of my life being over, my roommates are going to go see the new Taylor Lautner movie at the cheap theater and then we are going to get pie shakes. I needed some motivation to get through this week. :)

Month of Thanks- day 2

Today is a new day which brings a new day of thanks. It is a nice day outside today too! Only by looks though. It's actually about 18 degrees outside....SOOO cold!!! Today I'm thankful for my family. I don't get to see them much right now since I'm at college but they are still always there for me. I talk to them almost every Sunday. I will be back in Washington to spend time with them on December 17th for a couple weeks. It's very exciting! Not only does that mean that I will be home with my family but I will also be done with school!

Month of Thanks- day 1

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! To celebrate, I am going to post a picture and a short note about something that I am thankful for. I will try to post something new everyday. I am pretty busy but I will try my hardest to remember to post. :) I am thankful for many things. It's hard to pick just one to talk about today. Um....today I'm thankful for the sun that is shining. Although it's 39 degrees outside today in Rexburg, Idaho, it's still sunny out! The cold and the snow will roll in soon enough so I better be thankful while the sun is still shining. It looks really nice outside as I sit on the couch. I know that as I walk up the hill to go to class in the Hinckley building it won't feel as nice but it's great as I just sit here! :)
