you know what makes me feel really grateful?


  • going outside to eat lunch (80 degree weather, holla!) and it being recess time for the deaf school right next to my building.  Every couple of seconds, the group of 6-year olds would stop chasing each other/running around and sign things, run around again, pause to sign something else, and run around again.  It was so sweet.
  • passing a car accident on the way to work.
  • reading a book about homeless youth in America.  
  • people who take the time to talk and listen.
  • General Conference this past weekend.
  • having a healthy body that allows me to work off the 4(!!!) homemade cinnamon rolls consumed this past weekend.
  • colorful sunsets.
  • kneeling in prayer with Ben.
  • getting a "just checking in to see how you're doing!" text.
  • sippin' smoothies and talking about goals.

  6. Can't wait to watch the General conference! I've been speaking with missionaries for a while now but didn't know the conference had already taken place. lol

    1. That is so awesome!! I think you'll really enjoy the messages from the prophet and apostles. One of my favorite talks was from Elder Richard G. Scott. Maybe you'll get a chance to read or watch it sometime :)
