happy...

So, I've just been feeling extremely happy and grateful these last few weeks...  I've got a lot of really great people in my life.  My friends and family have helped me in ways they don't realize and have taught me how to be a better person and live life to its fullest.  I'm so grateful to each of my friends in different and specific ways and couldn't have asked for a better people in my life.  I'm so lucky to have met each of you and am so glad that I've been able to be a part of your life.  And I'm so grateful for my family... My mom is the most wonderful lady on earth.  She sacrifices so much everyday for the people around her and has always been such a great example to me.  My dad is equally wonderful.  He's the most kindhearted, patient, and understanding man I know.  And my siblings (in-laws included... you guys have been around for almost as long as I can remember).... I love you all to death.  Being the youngest I've always been in a different place in life and its been awesome watching you and learning from your example, and I'm really grateful to each of you.  You are each wonderful and great in your own way... so thank you for loving me for who I am and for teaching me to be a better person.  I'm not the best at keeping in touch with all of you, but just know I love you. 

I went to a play the other night at the conference center about the birth of Christ and his resurrection...  The perfect way to start off the Christmas season.  It helped me remember the true meaning of Christmas.  I'm so grateful for a loving heavenly father who gave His Son for us... so that we could repent, live happily, and return to him.  I'm grateful for my Savior.  For His life, His example, His teachings, His mercy, and His sacrifice.  And I'm grateful for the restored gospel and for the peace it has brought to my life and for the person it has helped me to become.  

So... to all of you, THANK YOU... I'm SO HAPPY... and SO GRATEFUL for my beautiful life and all the beautiful people in it.
Merry Christmas everyone :)
