 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has put together his fantastic video! This made me happy! Watch it and you will be glad you did! 

Gratitude

I'm grateful for the Thanksgiving Holiday and for the opportunity it gives me to reflect on how blessed I am. I am tremendously blessed. I could make lists upon lists of all the things that I am grateful for, but instead of taking up hours of time, I will just write down a few.

My Sweet Husband. He makes me laugh! He makes me smile! He makes me so happy! I am so grateful to be seal to him for time and eternity. He is such a great friend, son, brother, and will be a great father. He is my everything and I will always thank my Heavenly Father for bringing him into my life. 

My Amazing Family. I have been so blessed to be a part of my family. As I think more of becoming a mother myself, I have the greatest examples to look up to. I can only hope that I can grow to have their strength, faith, and love. They are my biggest support. My siblings are so fun, and loving, and they continually amaze me with who they are.

School. I love BYU's Nursing program. Our mission statement is Learning the Healer's Art by Promoting Health, Caring for the Suffering, Inviting the Spirit in to Health and Healing, and Leading with Faith and Integrity. I love attending a school that incorporates the church so much. Nursing brings me joy and I am so grateful that I get to work in a job that I love!

The atonement. I am so grateful to my Savior for his love for me. I owe him my life. I have a testimony that He lives. As President Joseph Fielding Smith (1876–1972) observed: "One of the greatest sins, both in magnitude and extent... is the sin of ingratitude. When we violate a commandment, no matter how small and insignificant we may think it to be, we show our ingratitude to our Redeemer. It is impossible for us to comprehend the extent of his suffering when he carried the burden of the sins of the whole world.... If we really understood and could feel even to a small degree, the love and gracious willingness on the part of Jesus Christ to suffer for our sins we would be willing to repent of all our transgressions and serve him".

I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and joy it brings me. I love the Lord and and so grateful to him for all my blessings. I know that everything that I am blessed with comes from him. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!  

This is how I feel...

This is how I FEEL right now...

BUT... In my Perfect World... 

This is where I Would Be...

This is what I Would be Doing...

This is what Would be in my House...

This is what I Would be Eating...

And this is Who I Would be With... all the time...

Isn't he incredibly good looking??

The Governor's Gala!

This weekend Andrew and had the privilege to attend the "Governor's Gala". It was a huge party at the Salt Palace for the Governor of Utah (Gov. Herbert). It was so incredible to be there.

It was a "black tie" event- which means that most Men were in Tuxes and Ladies were in Formals. It was fun to get dressed up. 

When we got there, everyone was standing around talking with one another and waiters were bringing around hors d'œuvres and drinks. We felt like we were important!

This was our table. Andrew works for a company called Qualtrics and they invited 5 few people to go for the company and their spouses. It was $500 a person! The place looked magnificent.

The theme for the event was called, "Moonstruck". After the dinner, the show started. It consisted of musical numbers from broadway shows (Wizard of Oz, Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Wicked, Young Frankenstein, etc.). The singing and dancing was so amazing! The show ended with Thriller :)

We had alot of fun talking with our friends, Dan and Kim. Also getting to know the president of the company better. We hope that we get to attend lots of cool events like this one! The governor sure did throw an amazing party! He raised over 1 million dollars in one night!!

Weekend in Park City

Andrew and I took the weekend to get away from school, work, and everything else! We spent the weekend in Park City and Midway celebrating our 6 month anniversary. It was perfect! 

We got to spend some time at the outlets and Andrew found some sweet new shoes at the Nike outlet. I got a headband from J. Crew that I love! 

 

We found a movie at the cabin  called "The Mighty". We both had never seen it or heard of it, so we watched it. It was funny. Kinda interesting and weird. It is based off a book called, "Freak the Mighty". But it made me almost cry. 

We are really lame and didn't take any pictures the whole weekend, even though we had both cameras. Sorry... hopefully we will take some pictures this Halloween weekend! 

Thanks Aunt Julie for letting us stay at your place!
