The Small Things

I'm so grateful for my life.

On Wednesday, my good friend Tim Sharp is leaving on his mission to Minnesota. I am so proud of him and any one of my guy friend's who choose to serve. It brings such joy to my life to know of their decision. Tim leaves June 13th, Sam Dampt leaves July 11th (a month from tomorrow!..he is in the picture behind us) for France, Rusty Burbank leaves for Richmond Virginia August 1st, and then my dear friend Hyrum Layton leaves October 24th for Concepcion Chile! Hyrum is behind Sam in this picture.... dorks. Also my awesome cousin Braden Winsor is in Washington right now, he only has about a year & a half left! Lastly, my friend Jacob Black is in the MTC at this VERY moment - going to Singapore!


I'm grateful for my friends and their examples in my life; my family and their undying love; laughter; the piano; music in general, it's constant therapy and it comforts me daily; food...food food food; water - I am addicted. I have 3 water bottles right next to my bed; my siblings & their hilarity( Caleb, Kim, Sean, Danny and Britt); The Book of Mormon; Seminary; my glorious bed; my high school years at Westwood; photography; Disneyland; Pres Thomas S Monson and his loving words; braces (June 28th, I will no longer be a brace face!);  my full head of hair that I didn't have before; my name, I used to HATE my name but it is so unique and it is MINE :) ; Trials, they make me who I am today; Girls Camp; cold winters that make me want to NEVER leave my bed; the Temple; temple baptisms; temple marriages that make me even MORE excited to get married in the future; hymns; my phone; my ipod - oh my heavens, I panic when I can't find it; photographs; memories; when you laugh so hard, you can't breath; The Bible; shinanigins; tomfoolery; Shaunna Krieg aka ALLEN; Relief Society, it's a lot better than you think!; any Disney movie in this world; Macaroni and Cheese with cup up hot dawgs; Ramen!; Reeses, bless the person who made the greatest candy ever; my parental units LOVE THEM; honesty; this country and the people who sacrifice to make it better; my Grandma Winsor and Grandma & Grandpa Smedley; My Savior; paychecks; missionary letters; bright colors; basketball shorts; SHOWERS; Christmas; butterflies in my stomach; smiles; bear hugs (from humans, not bears) ; having the ability to drive....


I honestly could go on but it's getting late and I'm tired :) (I'm grateful for sleep as well)


Life is going quite swell for me - I'm working my tiny tail off at Chick-fil-A. I meet the weirdest and the nicest people ever each day. Some days I want to rip my hair out but that's against the Health Department rules. I must say though, a smile can do a lot to someone :)Go smile BIG at someone :)


Goodnight!
