15. Thankful

Thanksgiving has to be my favorite day of the year. Besides the great food, I get to see all of my
extended family on both sides! We spend lunchtime at my mother's parents, and dinnertime at my father's parents. To me, there is no greater feeling than coming together as a family. Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday to reflect and ponder all the things we have been blessed with. This past year has easily been filled with the most changes and adjustments that I have ever dealt with. I have faced many challenges, but many good times as well. I thought I would like to reflect on all the things I have gained an appreciation for, or a deeper appreciation for, over this past year.

I am thankful for loving and supporting parents.
I am thankful for being admitted into BYU.
I am thankful for missionaries.
I am thankful for friends filled with patience.
I am thankful for the Atonement and my Savior.
