It's about that time....

Please excuse the big fat pity party I was having for myself the last few posts.

Like my mom pointed out to me, right now I am actually achieving my dreams, instead of just thinking about them. And it's harder than I had ever dreamed, to reach these dreams. But the journey has been a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

It's about that time for a thankful post, wouldn't you say? Dedicated to all those things that I love the most. 

I could make it long and drawn out but I think I'll make it quick. 

All you need to know is this:
I would not change a thing about my life right now. Not a single thing. 

Especially since currently it's 1pm and I'm still in my jammies and I can smell my mom's cooking downstairs. 

Yeah, life is real good.

"In the game of life a second effort is often required. The happy life is not ushered in at any age to the sound of drums and trumpets. It grows upon us year by year, little by little, until at last we realize that we have it. It is achieved in individuals not by flights to the moon or Mars, but by a body of work done so well that we can lift our heads with assurance and look the world in the eye. Of this be sure: 

You do not find the happy life … you make it." -Thomas S. Monson

Go eat some turkey and be thankful for the ride!
