Today i drove to manti and explored and i was amazed at this: 

I didn't actually take this picture but I didn't have my camera. Haha. I wish i had sweet picture taking skills like this. That would be awesome.

I am so grateful that i live so close to so many temples. It is such a wonderful blessing in my life. I need to be more grateful for this blessing i have and go to the temple more. I love how you feel when you go to the temple. That feeling of absolute peace and happiness and security. I am so thankful for the temple and the blessings it has brought to my life.

Mothers ( thursdays thankful post)

Well I'm not doing very good at keeping up with my daily thankful posts, i promise i will try to do better next week.

On Thursday I was thankful for mothers.
Mothers are amazing people. There are a few things i have learned about mothers over the years. First, I have learned that you dont have to have children to be a good mother. And second, They dont have to be your children to be a mother to them.

I am so grateful for the wonderful examples of mothers i've had in my life.
I am so grateful for my own mother. She is such an amazing woman and i am so grateful for the amazing example she is to me. Im so grateful that my mom has been so supportive and involved in my life. She is more than just my mom. She is my beast friend and i am so grateful for her.

I am also grateful for a mother who is willing to do anything for her children. Including driving to provo to see her daughter because she had a bad week. 

Thanks mom for all you do. I love you so much and im so happy that i am your daughter!!!

Thankful

On Monday I was thankful for these people:

On Monday i was thankful for VE. I was sitting in my room on M

onday looking at pictures on my computer and i realized how much these 25 people meant to me. I am so glad that i had the opportunity to be a part of a group like this. A group that touches people through the power of music. This group changed my life and helped to make me the person i am today. I am a happier, more outgoing person now because of these people. Thank you VE, you have changed my life and im so grateful for you.

On Tuesday I was grateful for:

Pearsons Auto Recovery and towing ( sorry, no picture for this one) in Ephraim. On tuesday i locked my keys in my car for the first time. It was not a good day. But I was so grateful for them that they wold come right over and help me open my car. It is great to kknow that there are still people out there that are so helpful and kind.

Today I am grateful for:

Today, Wednesday, I am thankful for this little gem that i found at Walmart!!! I love holiday decorations. The reason i love it so much is because at home my family goes all out with decorating for the holidays. The best is when we decorate for christmas and it takes us almost all day!!! I just love the feeling i get when i walk into the house during the holidays and you see all the nativitys and christmasy thigs. It makes me feel so full of love and happiness. So when i was walking in Walmart today and i saw good ole gunther here( thats what i decided to name him) all those feelings of love and happiness came back because it reminded me of home.

I'm back!!

Hey!!! Sorry its taken me so long to blog i have just been so caught up with college and stuff. I am loving college so far. It is so amazing!! I never thought that I would be this happy here!! This has been such an amazing experience. I love everything here. I love how small the town is here and i love how small the campus is but how there is always something to do. I love that I can be myself. I love how nice everyone is here. It has all been so amazing!! I am so happy that I decided to come here to Snow. Here are some pictures from my adventures here at college:

Washington D.C.

I know I promised to tell you about the rest of my summer but I thought that I would tell you about the best part of the summer. For my senior trip I went to Washington D.C. with my parents and we had SO much fun! There are so many fun things to see and do there like museums and shopping and all of that fun stuff. :) We left Utah on August 12th and we got back on the 18th. We went to so many places. We went to a lot of cool museumss like the Natural History Museum, the American History Museum and some others. But one of my favorite parts of the trip was when we went to the National Air and Space Museum and saw this:

That is the Enterprise from Star Trek The Original Series. I know I'm a nerd but it was pretty cool . Haha. It really wasn't my favorite part but it was one of my favorites.

Another fun part of the trip was when we were going to dinner and there was a fire outside one of the buildings and you could see the fire coming out of the grates on the sidewalk. It was cool. Then we get to the resturaunt which was like two blocks away from the fire and we are there for about 20 minutes. We had just finished the crab cake appetizer and the power goes out because of the fire. I guess a transformer blew and thats what started the fire but it caused power to go out in like a 3 block radius. It was cool though.

One of the very best parts of the trip was when we went exploring in Georgetown. It was so cool to see all of the old buildings and streets there. It was goregous!! Plus that is where all the shopping was! :) It was a lot of fun. That is where I got my super cute grown up dress and hat :) It was so cool to see how different things are there than they are here back in Utah. Everyone there is so busy and always running around in a hurry to be somewhere. But here in utah it is so peaceful and nice and calm. It is intereesting. One thing I noticed though was that everyone there drives these small cars. It seems like everyone has a Mini Cooper!! Which I thought was cool because they are my favorite cars :)

It was such an amazing trip. I loved everything about it. I would definitly do it again. It was such a great way to end the summer. I loved being able to spend some alone time with my parents before I went away to college. They are amazing parents and I'm so grateful for them. :)

I dont have all of my pictures of Washington yet but Iwill post them when I do. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything you have given me over the years. I am so grateful for all of the love and support. I love you so much and I am excited to see you soon!!
