its thursday & oh am i thankful.

so today is a calm day for me-im starting by saying im thankful for that. i have been so busy. packing, cleaning, packing, cleaning, being indecisive on what to pack, cleaning. you know the usual crap you do when youre getting ready to move.... anyways i have a lot to be thankful for. its weird, youd think saying what youre thankful for EVERY thursday would be hard-it gets easier and easier ever week....

im THANKFUL for laughing. last night i was grumpy and kind of just mean. [tom is here and i hate tom] jordan and i watched a Morning Glory. it was such a good movie and it made me laugh.... laughing makes me happy and changes my attitude. i love laughing.

im THANKFUL for the cooler air. ahhh [sigh of relief]. i love the spring. [in vegas it was march] and the fall. [in vegas it was halloween-only] its been between 70-90 & sunny. its Heavenly. seriously.

im THANKFUL for mindy gledhill. when i was having a hard time-or if i ever am. i open up my scriptures and listen to her music.... i love her voice, the softness of her songs, the peace, the happiness. if you havent listened to her its christian music and beautiful. big recommendation.

im THANKFUL for answered prayers. ok jordan brought up something from a long time ago, that made me sad-very sad whether it was a while ago or not, and i just kind of need to defend myself-i feel. as most of you know jordan and i wrote while he served his mission. some time after, his mission president asked him to be obedient and not write me any longer. in this meeting he told jordan if she respects this she is a good pick. (which i didnt find out until much later in our relationship) it was a difficult time for me when i received his letter telling me that he couldnt write anymore. my mom told me to write him one final letter. i prayed and prayed about it. i knew i shouldnt write him. i cherished that final letter. it signified so much to me. it showed me jordans appreciation & respect of the Gospel, it showed me his obedience to the Lord, and it [tried] teaching me patience. i prayed about what to do with his parents names address' etc... i had no clue. what do you do? this guy gives you his families information-so i prayed, i mean it was the only thing i could do. i couldnt ask him. soo after this i got this undeniable answer about jordan & what to do. i had to come see him for his homecoming. (for the record in vegas-they dont do talks the first weekend they are home usually. it is often a weekend later than they arrived) i felt bad interrupting his time with family but i prayed and got an answer and even after that i prayed some more and got the same answer time and time again-do i deny it and ignore it? thats a slap in the face. i got way too many answered prayers at that time. i am thankful for them... but no one REALLY knows or knew how hard and scary it was for me to pursue dating jordan. the girls i worked with thought i was nuts! and everyone still probably does... but jordan is an answer to WAY too many of my prayers. along with the extras i got in exchange. a temple marriage, a new family, and a new adventure. the prayers that were answered so long before i even took a leap of faith brought me so much more than i could have ever imagined.

ok next...

do you have someone you always feel you have to look bombshell hot in front of? just someone you think is always watching, waiting for you to look bad that one day, so they can laugh about it. yeah well im THANKFUL for make-up. yesterday i literally ran into the person i would least want to see me looking my worst... and boy was i bad yesterday! tom is here. i was in sweats. bun on top of my head. not an ounce of new make up on just smeared all over my face. i thought i washed it off but it was every where when i got home so i looked ROUGH. so today im thankful for make-up. i love make-up. i mean im a cosmetologist! i LOVE make-up! haha

im THANKFUL for my photographer from my wedding whitney lewis shes really the best. and packing i have found a TON of pictures that i am so glad i have! i just need frames for all the goodness i have!!
