School, work, and stressing over wedding planning has really piled up and I want to forget it all for these next few days.
For the break, Mark, his brother Stephen and I are headed down to St. George tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with his family! I am extremely excited to go see them, but I have to admit, it will be a little odd to be having a turkey dinner without any of my family there, only because I have always spend it with them. But I know that this year will be just as fantastic!
I would also like to point out that my Aunt Jennifer got a root canal done today :[ I hope that you feel better soon and enjoy all-you-can-eat mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving!
(I call them that not necessarily because there will be an abundance of potatoes, but because that will literally be all you can eat...)
Time for more Thanks!
13. Showers
Do I even need to explain how freaking good showers make
me, and I am assuming you guys too, feel? If you think I am weird, then picture this: You've been camping and boating for a few days now. You smell and feel like campfire, lake water, sunscreen and dirt. You finally get home after a week and get in the hot water and wash all that nasty off you. Yeah. I'm not so weird anymore now am I?
I thought not.
14. Music
Mumford & Sons for example
They are an amazingly talented group of men who product freaking awesome music.
Listening to them calms me down, makes me happy, and seriously, there is never a time where you think, "Nah, I'm not in the mood."
Their music fits every mood.
Their music fits every mood.
And....they have an awesome accent. Nobody can beat that.
Music is a universal language. It has magic powers I swear.
Music....pumps you up and allows you to run further and lift more than you thought you ever could, it make you feel happy when you are sad or mad (it seems to know exactly how you are feeling), brings people together, etc. It does so much!
15. Having successful English teachers in school
Because of them I know...
Difference between there, their and they're
Difference between your and you're
'A lot' is 2 words
Nowadays, this "skill" seems hard to come by.
16. Cameras
I am by no means a photographer, but I do enjoy taking photos!
My favorite is landscapes as well as close-ups of nature or regular objects. I am not a fan of taking portraits because I do not know the first thing about how they should pose, what the lighting should be, etc. But if they all want to stand there and smile, that's great. I really want to be able to take pictures in Manual Mode as opposed to Automatic as well as becoming familiar with Photoshop. Those are some things I am going to work towards! Both are freaking difficult
17. My Job
I have worked at my job for almost 3 years now and though at times I don't want to go (we all feel like that), but once I am there I always have a good time with my coworkers. I have made friends there and we all seem to have fun:] I know in this economy a lot of people have lost jobs and are struggling to find another to support their families or just themselves, so I am so happy and grateful to have a job!
18. Fleece socks and blankets
Here in SLC it is cold in the winter. Quite chilly for 5-ish months, and nothing is more comfortable than coming home from a day out in the snow and slipping on my Comfy Socks, as I call them, sweat pants and wrapping myself in a comfortable blanket. Oh man, it is such a pleasant thought!
19. My Senses
Being able to feel, see, hear, taste and smell is such a blessing.
I take it for granted for sure, but I definitely am grateful for all 5 of them.
Without them I wouldn't be able to feel my fleece blanket and socks!
I wouldn't be able to see my surroundings to take pictures of!
No music for me if I couldn't hear it!
What would I do if I couldn't taste food? Seriously, that would be terrible.
Though my nose's ability to smell is not so great, if it was gone completely I wouldn't be able to smell flowers, food in the oven or pine trees during Christmas!
20. Alarm Clocks
These are an amazing inventions now aren't they?
I don't think I have to elaborate other than they save all of our lives
when it comes to waking up in the morning with enough time to
get ready and get to where we need to be.
I have my priorities set.
