So I graduated. Can you believe it? I can't believe how fast time flew.
 Shaking the dean's hand.

 My sisters decided attacking me with silly string was a great way to celebrate.

 I love my family.

 Love these women.

 I'm so grateful for the support of my parents

 and my sisters.

 Love him so much.

 The amazing people in my life.

College is over. Woohoo!

a good reminder

Remember back in March when I did this? It was a 21-day journey that I didn't take full advantage of. I read the challenges, but never felt like I was super into it.
Fast forward to now, when there is so much going on in my life, my head and my heart. So much more so than months ago when I first did the challenge. Which is why I decided to do it again. To invest myself in it more than I did the first time, to really pour my everything into truly coming closer to my Savior.
And you know what?
You wouldn't believe the results. Everything in my life is so much more wonderful than it was before, because I've centered my thoughts and my life on Christ. Opportunities I have been searching for for many months have finally presented themselves, (hopefully I'll get to post about these soon) and I know it is because of the change I have made in my life.
Today is Day 15: "Be Still." (Each day has a little 'theme')
"Find...the quiet place you can go to focus on the Lord. Make haste and invite the Lord into your home. How will you prepare to receive Him?" (quoted from Emily Freeman's 21 Days Closer to Christ)
I am so grateful for the chance I had to repeat this challenge and to really implement it into my life. It has been such a blessing, and every day I am grateful for that. I think it's been especially wonderful during the Christmas season to purposefully study and focus on my relationship with Christ. I cannot thank Him enough for everything He has done for me, and for sticking by my side and waiting for me to come around. I am so excited to see Him again and to thank Him for never, ever, giving up on me. I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the wonderful blessings it brings to me.

thankful

Thanksgiving is next week, and while the celebrations will be a little different this year than usual, it's still a great holiday. It always makes me sad to see Christmas decorations appear in stores the day after Halloween because it seems like people forgot about Thanksgiving. Don't forget about it—it's an important holiday! Which is why I refuse to listen to Christmas music/watch Christmas movies/do anything Christmas related until Thanksgiving is over. That way I get to celebrate each holiday separately. So, in honor of Thanksgiving coming up soon, here is a list of some things I am thankful for.
1. My faith and my Savior
2. My family
3. C
4. Only having one semester left in college
5. My car
6. My cat (because even though she is a crazy kitten, she will always love me)
7. Utah football/the MUSS
8. Food
9. My wonderful mother for paying me to nanny while I try to find a job

What are you thankful for this time of year?
