Something Annie: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! This Thanksgiving was the first one I had been too as a college student, and it was quite a change. I don't live too far from home, so I'm still able to sleep at my apartment rather than sleep at my actual home. All my YSA ward friends left me for the week, and I stayed. It was quite lonely but actually quite productive! For Thanksgiving I drove up to my home and had dinner with my family and a few cousins (Isaac, Cameron, and Ciera). We had a traditional turkey, and so many more amazing dishes! We ate and ate and ate till our hearts were content, and then of course, we went into the food coma. That night I decided to hit up some Black Friday deals, and go shopping! I went to Target, Walmart, Old Navy, and the list just keeps on going.

But some things I'm mainly grateful for are my family, my religion (lds.org), my YSA ward, my roommates, my dog, Disneyland, Disney World, Utah, beautiful weather, music, my education, my friends, technology, the ability to travel, food, cafe rio, milkshakes, my parents, a healthy body, socks, my wonderful grandparents, kissing, shoes, water, my brother-in-laws, temples, my job, and so much more! Being grateful does not mean you're happy with something, it means you share gratitude for it, and that you thank our Heavenly Father for it.

I'm so grateful for everything, and all the many opportunities I have in this life! I never would have thought I would be where I am today, and I'm so grateful that I'm in college, and living on my own, I'm so thankful for this life.
