Day 3-Temples

I want to get married in this one.

       Today I am grateful for the Temple. I know I don't go nearly as much as I should, but the temple always blesses my life. It's kinda one of those things where it's so hard to get there, then when you do it's like...Why am I not here more often?
The kind of peace you get when you enter the temple is just remarkable. I love going with my friends and I wish my sister lived down here so I could go with her! I am going to make it a goal to never go a month with out going. So hold me to it!!

Day 2- Today I am grateful for BYU!

Ra Ra Ra Ra! Goooo COUGARS!

Today I am grateful for BYU.
I've heard it said that if you haven't considered dropping out of college at least 7 times by now, you aren't doing it right.

True.

BUT! Then I think about the biiiig picture here. How many people would kill to be going to college, let alone such a prestigious university where everyone shares the same high standars and dedication to living the gospel?
I am pretty lucky.


Here's some (non-academic things) I have learned at college so far.

Just because you don't have a wii, doesn't mean you can't play just dance. (Thank you youtube)

There are freebs around every corner.

Alcohol is to parties at the U as cookies are to parties at BYU-- always ALWAYS expect cookies.

A lot of times, you have to make your own fun.

Netflix can and WILL be the death of you.

6 hours of sleep is good and plenty, thank you very much.

Couples. Couples run this town.

The Jesse Knight building is a Labyrinth

The Library is not just for studying, but for partying.


Well I'm sure there's more but college so far has been a stressful blast!! I'm sure by finals week I'll be clawing out my eyes, but until then....Thank you BYU!

Gratitude Challenge!!

Welp, this is awkward, haven't posted on this blog for a little over two years....Oops! Regardless. I want to get back into the game and here's how I plan to do it.
November is a month of Thanksgiving, and I don't know about you, but I feel like I should show more gratitude for the blessings I have in my life. So for the month of November, I'll post something I'm grateful for each day! They may be silly or serious, who knows! Since today is November 2nd, let me rewind a smidge.
November 1
I am grateful for Reese's Pumpkins.

There may be some of you who are thinking...isn't a Reese's just a Reese's? Shouldn't shape be irrelevant? Are you a prejudiced shapist?

You are wrong.
Reeses Pumpkins, Eggs, Hearts, Footballs...etc....ALL of the shaped Reeses are superior to their regular peanut butter cup counterparts.
The reason being the chocolate to peanut butter ratio. This one just has it right.
Liken it unto a sandwich. It's good with crust, but there's less room for the delicious filling if crust is taking up the whole sandwich. Shaped Reese's are like sandwiches with the crust cut off. That's the only way I can really explain the beauty of these tasty treats.

So just remember.
Shaped Reese's > Regular Reese's.
This is an important lesson that will prove helpful in your daily lives.


There's day 1 for ya! I challenge anyone reading this to write down something they're grateful for each day this month, be it on Facebook, Twitter, a blog, or in a journal! I promise you won't regret it :)

Peace and Blessins.
