HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are stay safe and happy this holiday season! Since I am having my 25th Thanksgiving I thought I would tell you 25 things I am thankful for. (In no particular order!)
25) I have the ability to walk, talk, use my hands, see. I am so grateful that through my life I have been able to keep all of my limbs working.
24) I have a roof over my head. I see on TV that there are people all over the world sleeping out on the streets. And I don't have too.
23) I live in a free country! I think that speaks for its self!
22) A car! I do so much running around in the town that if I did not have a car I would not get everything done.
21) Temples- I don't have to go very far to see LDS temples, and I can go in them and do baptisms for the dead! Also they give a chance to be a family for eternity. I will get to see my earthly father again.
20) Challenges- I am surprising myself that I put this on my list of things I am thankful for. But I am because it makes me grow and they make me who I am.
19) Service- Yesterday my mom and I took a turkey, some potatoes, and cider to the food bank. Also since my mom had a bum leg she had people bring meals in and I am so grateful for those people that brought in meal to my mom and I.
18) Food- I also hear on TV that people are starving all around the world and I am not one of the people. I always have something to eat when I want it.
17) Bed- Also I TV I see people sleeping on cold streets where I have a warm bed to sleep in.
16) Beautiful places in the world- Being able to travel to different places I fill so blessed to see other beautiful things of God's creation.
15) Journal writing- I found one of my old journals and read it and I could not believe what I had written in it. It made me remember some old good and bad times. I love being able to relive those through my journal writing.
14) Clothes to wear- not everyone can cover themselves with warm clothes or even clothes out all and I do.
13) Dishwasher/Washer- There are people all over the world that eat or dirty dishes and wear dirty clothes. And because of the inventions of these two things I get to eat on clean dishes and wear clean clothes.
12) Laughter- every time I laugh I just fill better.
11) Snow- It looks so pretty looking at it and it also keeps it cold so I want to stay in and relax.
10) Aunts and Uncles- they keep me on my toes. And I love them and I am glad that I have them in my life.
9) School- Being able to go to school and learn was a great part of my life.
8) Projects- Keep people busy and if you put your heart and soul into them they turn out good.
7) Friends- Some keep me on my toes. I never know what they are going to do or want me to do with me. I love my Logan friends for staying in contact with me and staying my friends even though I am not there.
6)Grandparents- They have done a lot for me. I love them and they love me.
5) Trysten- My nephew, he always has smart, funny things to say. He always has a smile for me when I am down. He loves me for me.
4) Baylee- my niece, she has so much energy and keeps me on my toes. When I am down she has a worried face as well as a hug. She loves me for me.
3) Brittney- my sister. She keeps me on my toes. She is always there for me when I need her. She also can get me to laugh at most situations.
2) My mom- Along with my sister they are my best friends. They keep me going on things even if I don't want to. She keeps me thinking about the bigger pictures and what it is going to do for me for the future. She always has a smile for me. Love you!
1) This is the #1 thing I am thankful for. I am thankful for the Savior and all he did for me and everyone. He did not have to do what he did but he did because he loved each and everyone of us.
So there you have it my top 25 things I am thankful for. I love you all and hope that you stay safe this Thanksgiving Day!

Update since...last post

Wow I did not think that I was this behind in my blogging. But I have been so busy that I think I have better things to do. Now that it is the first Sunday of November I decided that I had time to blog. I also think that I will try and blog more often but I am not going to promise anything more than once a month. The first thing that I have done since I last blogged was see my Grandma Hill. I wish I had seen here more often but I am glad that she is getting the help she needs in Arizona. She came back to Pocatello and we had a dinner for her so we could see her.
Another thing that I have done was go to Idaho Falls to see my Aunt Callie, Uncle Dan, and Cousin Julie and then my mom, Trysten, Baylee and I went over to see my cousins Steve and Tara Kumpf and their boys.

I have also taken my nephew to swimming a couple of times.
I helped Brittney pick out Trysten and Baylee's Halloween Costumes. Trysten was batman and Baylee was Tinker Bell.

Then I made a much need trip to Logan. It was so good to see a lot of my friends. I went to Fire house and Batos. I also went to my first football game there and I poured on, I went to a improv performance and I went on stage to help with one of the things.







Then my family went to my Dad's grave to put flowers on it because it was his birthday. He would have been 52 years old this year.

Then I helped my sister take the kids to get their shots updated. The first picture below is what Trysten looked like on our way to Blackfoot.
The next picture is what Baylee looked like on our way to Blackfoot.
The next picture is how the kids were waiting for the doctor to come in.
The next picture was how Baylee looked after she got all of her shots.
The next picture is how Trysten looked after his shots and after we got him ice cream.
And this last pictures of the shot day is of Brittney being glad that the day is over.
Then Halloween had arrived so everywhere I looked people were dressing up.
And having parties. I went with Brittney to Trysten's school party.



Then every child went trick-or-treating.

Trysten has been hanging out all the time.
I met my friend's daughter Brynlee, they came to lunch with my mom, sister, Trysten, Baylee and I.

Last but not least I went to Karaoke with some friends. It was so much fun. And I think I would do it again.


So anyways that is what I have been up too and I have been having are good time. I hope this post finds you all well and happy.
