Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving break was just what I needed! I was able to take a whole week off of school and work and spend it in Moab with my family and Preston, of course! :) I was crazy busy the entire time, which

of course made it FLY BY, but I had so much fun!

I got home just in time on the Friday before Thanksgiving and got to see my little sister's school play "Once Upon a Mattress". It was a really cute play. Emily did an awesome job in it and now she is determined to become a "famous movie star" someday now that she has done one play. She is so cute! The next day I had the opportunity to go down to the little town of Monticello to hear Sister Julie B. Beck, the General Relief Society President of the Church, speak. It was INCREDIBLE!! Seriously, I am so glad I went. Just bei

ng there and hearing all of the wonderful things she had to say was such a testimony builder to me and I left that meeting feeling so good and like I could take on anything! She is an incredible woman and

I hope that I can someday speak just a little bit like she does! She had this incredible question and answer session during her talk where she let women from the congregation ask her any questions they felt inspired to. It was amazing how she answered each of the questions! It was like she knew just exactly what they were going to ask. She had scriptures, quotes, and stories to answer the questions w

ith and she hadn't even prepared for them! I was very impressed! I truly know she has been called of God to be serving in the position that she is in.

Thanksgiving day was wonderful as always. It was a little different this year because I spent half of it down in Blanding with Preston and his family, and the other half was spent in Moab with mine. It was so

mu

ch fun! I feel so blessed to have so many incredible people in my life. Each of them have taught me something unique and I will always be grateful for the interactions we have had with one another. I also realized how blessed I am to have all of my family so close to me. It was so nice having everyone there at Thanksgiving and just being able to spend time with all of the people that I love the most.

Oh and one more thing...I'm thankful that Preston was able to find a truck to buy! Now he can come and visit me more often!! Li

ke this weekend! I'm so excited! :)

So my break was amazing, yes, but after too much of this.....

I have to face reality and get back to what I procrastinated about for a whole week. Tests, papers, and more tests! UGH! Two more weeks til finals! I may not survive!
