Thanksgiving

So, this year I am a little bit sad that I don't get to pack up my stuff and move home for the weekend- seeing as I already live at home. It's always such a nice break to get away from roommates/Provo during that time. But, I've had that nice break for the past 6 months, sooo I shouldn't complain. I have a lot to be thankful for, here are just a few things:
I'm grateful...
.for my family
.for my friends
.for the gospel
.that sarah came to visit
.for reuniting with long lost friends through fakesgiving
.i have a car
.i have done really well this semester
.i haven't been to class since last tuesday. whoops! i was sick. but still, a nice break.
.i got a raise at work
.there is a farkle app for my ipod
.i am just about done listening to HP 7

Great list. So I was thinking, I heard your costumes were great for Harry Potter. You should post some pictures of them.

Love this. You have some great things on your list. I agree with Casey and Laralee (we are thankful for you, AND you should post HP photos)
