Tis' The Season to Be Thankful!

So its that time of year!! So many reasons to be thankful. Time with the family and a break from school! WOOHOOO!!! I think I've been in Idaho for far too long, I'm so ready to go back to Cali and enjoy my friends!! But one thing I never, ever understand is why my family is so against me keeping my friendships that I have had back home. They always tell me to "Cut the cord" and leave good ol' Murrieta, CA in the dust and move on to....Boise, Idaho? I don't quite understand. Aren't friends supposed to be there for you through hard times? They are people you are supposed to trust and share things with. And I would never give up my friendships for the WORLD!!! My best friend is the most beautiful person in the world. We have a weird obsession with cats, she loves Taylor Swift, and we love all the same things! She is my "soul mate" one would say ;) Beside the man of my dreams, she really is the best person in my life! So this Christmas season I am so very thankful for her. She has really helped me go through everything. Even though we have only been super close for about 2 years, I have never had to go through so many "adult" things in my life! So cheers to everything great in my friendship...Cats, Martinellis, Instagram, Twitter, knitting, Taylor Swift, Twilight, Harry Potter, gossip, Adele, random dancing, and everything else that is somewhat nerdy but extremely awesome to us in every single way!!

Count Your Blessings

I guess at this time in my life...I really let the world get the best of me. I get so stressed so easily and I get super emotional. But im a girl...what do ya expect?! ;) But one thing I wish I would remember is to remember what I have to be thankful for. So why not take this opportunity to make a list of all the things I have to be thankful for?!

-I have an amazing family whom I love so dearly
-I have a Heavenly Father who loves me so much
-I am getting an amazing education
-I may be a broke college student, but I still have food to eat and a place to live
-I have some awesome friends
-I have some mad creativity skills
-Its Christmas time...need i say more?!


I guess at times when you think you have the worst life ever... count your blessings. Being able to see the blessings in your life is one of the tender mercies that we experience day by day. So next time youre sad...remember a miracle! See what the Lord has done in your life! Think of a funny memory! And heck, crack open those scriptures and read about Nephi chopping someone's head off!!
