Thanksgiving

My dad took my sisters and me on the traditional Thanksgiving ski day. It was beautiful! When we got home, turkey dinner was waiting...it was delicious! My mom made the best turkey any of us had ever had. I am so thankful for so many things in my life. I am so lucky to have been raised in the gospel. I know that living gospel principles is what brings true happiness. Having Conner help me along the path helps me so much every day. Conner is a perfect match for me. He deals with so many emotions and somehow always finds a way to make me happy. I cry when he leaves even for a weekend. Seems pathetic, but he brings so much joy to my life that I hate to be without him even for one day. I am thankful for my friends and family. I know that I have been blessed with an exceptional family. My parents have taught me how to work hard and be successful in so many different aspects of life. I will be forever grateful for them. The Nielsens have also been a huge blessing in my life. Not only did they raise an outstanding son, they welcomed me into their family with open arms and it has been such an easy transition joining their family. I love my friends. I am so incredibly lucky to have the group of friends that I have. They truly are one in a million. I am thankful for my health. Working in a hospital seeing kids of all ages with chronic illnesses is a humbling experience. How lucky we all are to have healthy bodies and minds. I am striving each day to remember how blessed I am. I am so happy with my life. Even though times can be stressful, I know that I have so many things to be thankful for and I just have to count my blessings.
