It's almost Thanksgiving!

In light of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share this quote that I love. I've been thinking about gratitude a lot, especially because church today was focused on it and it made me want to be a more grateful person. There is so much in my life to be thankful for, especially my incredible family.

As for updates on my life, I've mostly been busy with school stuff. There have been some fun activities going on in my ward, like hot chocolate parties, making gratitude journals (haha that was a Relief Society activity), Hawaiian haystacks/game night parties, and other random stuff. Life is fun as always here at the Y. I seriously love it here so much. And Monticello is a super fun apartment complex! I'm starting to get sad that the semester is almost over. I'll miss it here.

Also, one of my friends from the 3200 wing of Hinckley Hall got baptized last week! She is an exchange student from China and she is the sweetest thing. Most of the girls in my hall were there, so we took a little reunion picture:

Unfortunately, again, that is the only picture I have taken. I am so bad!

I can't wait to come home to Laramie on Tuesday for Thanksgiving break! After that, I have two weeks of classes and one week of finals, and then I'm home until March. So crazy! I am going to Brazil in 101 days, guys!!

I hope you are all doing well and remembering to be thankful for the beauty in your lives :)
