Gratitude

I know that its not Thanksgiving yet, but as I was thinking of what to post about, I thought this would fit in with the Holidays coming up. This is a time of year where we reflect even more so on the things that we have been given and how grateful we should be. So, I want to take this time to just list some things that I am grateful for. I am grateful for my own little family, which is made up of Roberto and I for now. I am grateful for my parents and my siblings, and pretty much anyone else I call family. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, my Savior and my Heavenly Father. I am grateful for friendship and happiness that comes from having good friends. I am grateful for the country I live in, the freedoms I have and the peaceful happy life I live. There are obviously a million things I could write, but for now, that will do. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and that we will show an attitude of gratitude. What are you grateful for? =^_^=

There is something about being with just women that is needed, and I just wanted to share how good it feels to get together with friends and have that time. I know that it can be hard to be the person that initiates things like this, but honestly, just do it, you won't regret it and the people you

He knows what's best

I'm sure everyone has heard that God knows what's best for us, and that's why we don't always get what we want, when we want it, or even at all sometimes. These past three months I have learned this personally. IT IS TRUE! I was wanting a job so badly, applying everywhere and anything, and I was so sick of not having anything happen. But you know when something finally happened????? When I forgot about the whole deal, that's right, when I focused my mind on something else. During these past three months I truly learned that the key to forgetting about your problems, is focusing on other people. And now because of it, I know people so much better than I did before, and how much more important it is to me now to make those relationships. Anyway, today I got a phone call from the child and family resource center in Rexburg. I had had an interview a couple of weeks ago, and I had completely forgotten about them since they hadn't called since then. For those of you w
