My Simple, Happy, Beautiful Life

I am grateful for my piano teacher mrs. Muckey. I was probably one of the most annoying students but she loved me every week. Now, I have my own students who are somewhat excited to learn. It had been fun teaching them! 

Day 12: Friends. I love my friends and even though they are everywhere, I miss them. All of my friends have made a impact on my life. I couldn't live without my friends and they have supported me in my times of need. Day 13: The atonement. I couldn't live without it. Day 14: Holland Rose, my car. I am grateful it is in good shape and that I have a way for transportation. Day 15: I am grateful I am not doing finals right now. I loved school but finals were not my happiest of weeks I have lived.

Day 10: I am grateful for christmas movies. I have been watching way too many of them, but I love them. They are so cheesy and wonderful at the same time. You have to love all the classics and then the cheesy ABC family ones. You know the very first 5 minutes what will happen in the rest of the movie. Day 11: For my co-workers. They are amazing and make me laugh when I am with them. Sometimes work can be stressful but I know that we can do it because we are team. And we know to how to dance.

Day 8: I am grateful for my calling. It gives me a opportunity to think outside of myself and get to know other people. It challenges me everyday to do things outside of my comfort zone . Day 9: I am grateful for the brain. Learning about how the brain works fascinated me and it strengthens my testimony that god lives. There is a god who designed our bodies and brain processes. If you ever question that, take a neurobiology course.

I am grateful for Christmas trees! I am grateful for the chance I had to be in rexburg for Christmas season, so I could learn to appreciate what Christmas truly means with my grandpa. All the times spent with him decorating and making yummy treats taught me that Christmas is all about love. Celebrating Christ's love and life is what we are truly celebrating. Even though we were making fudge and toffee, he taught how to love others and see the best in everyone. Thanks grandpa for all the fun and special memories with you! 

I am grateful for unanswered and answered prayers. Even the simple prayers that are answered are miracles in my life. I am grateful for the gospel and how it brightens up my day. I am grateful for the chance I have to communicate with god and know that he is there. It is the greatest blessing in my life and so easy to take for granted. 

I am grateful for lunch breaks and Wendy's dollar menu. Nothing like a frosty to brighten your day. And you can't forget their sometimes friendly workers and their over enthusiastic attitude, at least mine was like that today. He should apply to Disney. 

I know it's late to do the whole " I am thankful for..." But it is the season to be jolly. So I am going to write a daily post about what makes my life and this season jolly. Day 1: the chance to get a education without debt. Day 2: chocolate. Day 3: music. Day 4: this blog! I haven't written in here in a long time, but I love how I can write freely about my thoughts.

This is what the verizon consultant told me when I got my iPhone. I just wanted one with Internet and I came out with this lovely phone. Let me tell you, I love my iPhone. It is like having a computer with me at all times. I am currently writing on my blogger app, all the amazing things you can do with technology.                    It is weird to have a phone with the abilities it has. We have the world at our fingertips now. Don't know the directions? Look it up. Don't know what year a song came out? Look it up on your google app. We have everything but at the same time we have everything.            I am starting to notice how we have everything and we communicate all the time but we can't connect in person. We are in the same room but we are texting other people, Facebook stalking other people, and liking others tweets. I am all for technology but I wonder if we can find balance. Let's have the technology better us by helping us reach out to others. Instead of t
