Thanksgiving

So since I have time I'v decided to jot down some things I am thankful for this year. Sometimes I think I spend too much time just getting through the day and although I may be happy and thankful, I dont actually stop to recognise what is making me thankful and really say a prayer at that moment of thanksgiving which we are asked to do.

Ps. 92: 1
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Eph. 5: 20
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

1 Thes. 5: 18
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Mosiah 26: 39
39 And they did admonish their brethren; and they were also admonished, every one by the word of God, according to his sins, or to the sins which he had committed, being commanded of God to pray without ceasing, and to give thanks in all things.

So here are some things I am thankful for:
Family, no matter how messed up it is
Health
Friends
A Job
The Singles Ward
My Scholarship for school
My Talents
A Testimony of where I come from, Why I am here, and where I am going
Heavenly Father and the direct communation with him through Prayer
The Scriptures
Being born in this age with technology

So here is an update on my life. Brittany, the girl in the pictures below as an Egyptian, is living with us. Right now she is in the guest bedroom til my grandma comes down to stay with us like every year in December, then we will be sharing a room. I must say this has been a good change for me and forcing me to become 'social' which is a good thing. We have decided to have a sleepover party after next weeks YSA dance and invite a bunch of girls over. Needless to say it will be interesting and Im guessing it will also be lots of fun!
I started my job last week and it has been going good. So far I am only working 5 days a week, 3 hours a day which still gives me enough for gas and then some so I'll keep with it. The only thing is now I have to actually manage my time better. Yesterday I had a day off of work and no school til that night so that whole day I basically wasted on small things like going to Subway, planning a sleepover, making invitations, and baking a cake I wasnt even going to eat. The whole day passed me by and after school I was so flabergasted and paniced about my school work I needed done, that I couldnt even focus on the school work! So today I might have made a mistake but I am skipping my morning classes of stats and humanities so that I can do my psych paper which is due tonight and study for the psych test since after work today I have to go straight to school. Ugh! This weekend I need to straighten my life out, both physically and mentally. Clean my surroundings and organize it so that my thoughts will have time to be organized and make a new plan for studying for finals coming up!!!

Halloween 08 Fun!

Ok so its been awhile but I finally have pictures from this Halloween! So for the Singles Ward Spooktacular we could enter into a costume contest if we made it out of specific materials. So the materials were 1 yard of Tulle, Black trash bags, Bendy Straws, Duck tape, Caution tape, and Bubble wrap. So I made a Fairie costume and here it is.





Everyone loved it and there was only 1 other person to do the contest so of course I won because Im just so awesome like that! I won a $10 gift card to Regal Cinemas and a 1st place ribbon. The whole night was a blast and I really got to bond with the people there, lol finally. We played tug-a-war which was so much fun and a scavenger hunt and 'name that creepy halloween song' game which of course my team won! This years Halloween was very fun and here are some more pictures of fun times at Party City looking for Pirate decorations. Well more like goofing around lol.
