Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow and I am super excited! I am definitely looking forward to the big feast!! :) haha...But for reals...

The real reason as to why I'm so excited for this day tomorrow, isn't because of the food, but because after this day, I'll be able to jam to Christmas music without being questioned by others! :) I start listening to Christmas music in October because it just feels like Christmas is already here... Or maybe that's just me, but still. Whenever I play Christmas music before Halloween and Thanksgiving, people/friends tend to give me weird looks along with questions like,"Why are you listening to Christmas music already? It's not even December!" haha... It's a little strange, I guess, but I have always been like this. In my opinion, Christmas is the best! haha. Hands down! I love getting done with Thanksgiving and pulling out the decorations for Christmas! haha.

So basically, what I'm saying is... I love Thanksgiving, don't get me wrong, but I just love getting it over with so that I can finally jump into the Christmas season "legally." Hahaha... I don't know if that makes any sense at all, but it's said. :)

I am truly grateful for so many things in my life, it's impossible to name them all in this blog! But a few things I am grateful for would definitely be my Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ! I am so thankful for being a part of His true Gospel! I am very humbled to know that He loves me so much to bless me with a family that I wouldn't trade for anything! My parents who have taught and raise me right... I love them so much! I am so grateful for my younger siblings who teach me things everyday! I love my friends and the support they give me. I am so very grateful for the hardships I've faced because I am a much stronger person now.... Gah! There are just so many things to be grateful for!

Overall, I'm just very thankful for everything! I know I've taken things for granted, but I am so blessed for all that I have!! :)

Know Your Worth!

I was just YouTubing ... ha. Is that how you say it? Anyway, I was on YouTube and came across this music video by Keri Hilson. It's the first time I've heard the song and I absolutely love it! It's called "Pretty Girl Rock."

Why I love it? Well, because! The lyrics are positive! I'm not exactly sure how she meant for this song to be defined, but to me, it's saying that you need to be confident with who you are, inside and out! You need to be comfortable in your own skin! Own it! :) You need to believe in yourself and just strut your stuff! There really is nothing more beautiful than a woman (or man) who knows her (his) individual worth! This song is powerful in meaning! I love it. We all are beautiful in our own ways. Some of us haven't recognized our true beauty and others have just forgotten. This is a short little blog, but it was something on my mind and I felt like sharing! Go out there and be yourself! Be someone who believes in themselves. Be the one to follow your dreams and accomplish your goals! Keep your standards held high and never settle for anything less! You know who you are and what you stand for, so go get 'em!

Be beautiful!

GOOD LUCK ELDER WILLIAM LEE PENNINGTON!

I said goodbye to my best friend, William Lee Pennington Sunday night! He left for the MTC Monday morning at about 5am. He will be there for about three weeks, then going to serve his mission in the Texas Lubbock Mission! :) I am proud of him!! I just know he will do great and marvelous things! I just finished writing him a letter! haha. I think I'll send it tomorrow! :) Gah... It's so weird without him here!! But I just know he's doing the right thing and I cannot wait to hear back from him soon! :) There are so many things I'm going to miss! The thing I'll probably miss most is hearing his most annoying phrase he always says,"What's up? What's up? Your mom hot too?" He said that all the time and it annoyed the crap out of me, but I'm going to miss it! Two years... Seems like a long time, but I'm sure he'll be home before I know it! :) Best friend, I wish you the best with everything!! Hahaha... This is my best friend. He's silly, goofy, smart, and has one of the greatest personalities. He's not perfect, but he does his best to do what he can to make people who are important to him, happy. I look up to this guy! He has taught me so much!! We've been through a lot together and I'm definitely going to miss him! Elder Pennington, I can't wait to see you when you get back! :) I love you! Good luck!
