i'm thankful for...

hello cute readers.
happy thanksgiving!!

isn't thanksgiving wonderful? i mean think about it.

• no school
• food

it that's not the definition of wonderful, i dont know what is.

anyway. in the spirit of being thankful, here's a little list of the things i am grateful (please take note of how that is spelled; not greatful or great full. thank you.) for:

• my mom and my dad. and my brothers (mostly when they're not fighting) (my brothers, that is.)
• christmas decorations, because aren't they just cute?
• food.
• one direction. david archuleta. mayday parade. bastille. fun. secondhand serenade. concerts. pandora. music. 
• soap. shampoo. hot water. naked, i know the drill. (50 points if you caught the reference!) but really. i'm thankful for cleanliness and hygiene and nail clippers, and laundry machines and dishwashers. (i really wish i had one.)
• i''m thankful that my mom pays for my housing.
• good health.
• i have 2 jobs.
• i have a car. 
• inside jokes.
• i'm thankful that i got to go to europe with my parents this summer. without a doubt the best 2 weeks of my life. 
• even though i'm the worlds most indecisive person ever! i was able to quickly decide on a major.
• paul. beignets. who'd have guessed that i actually adore hot chocolate!?
• minnetonka moccasins. seriously. those shoes are life changers.
• i'm thankful that even after 4 years of absolutely no effort, tons of last minute b.s'ed homework assignments, and an almost innumerable amount of skipped classes, i, by some miracle got into byu.
• my roommates aren't even weenies. i like them. a lot!
• i'm thankful for foreign languages. because they're freaking cool.
• books, bookstores, the magic that they bring and the escape they provide. 
• tender mercies.
• i'm even grateful that i worked at zupas for a year, (yes, grateful!) because i probably wouldn't have friends if i hadn't. also, it made me appreciate my current job(s)
• let's not forget: english major mothers who edit grammatically questionable 8 page essays that you (tried to) write at 2 am.
• fuzzy socks. sweat pants. my dads sweatshirts that i steal he lets me wear.
• blogs! word.
• pinterest, netflix, facebook, youtube
• a brain that is capable of seeing reason (usually)
• my anxiety. (it keeps me safe. and probably bored...dang it.)
• girls nights with momma bouch.
• the mispronunciations of boucher. (byoushay. boniher. bruncher. booshnard. butcher. botcher. bowshay. booger.) keeps life interesting.
• the gospel. www.lds.org
• pepper spray <3
• decision making apps. seriously! brilliant!
• my twisted sense of humor. even if most people don't quite understand it....i swear: i'm hilarious!
• my mom and i are the exact same size: instantly doubled wardrobe.
• late night ice cream runs with my daddy <3
• soup.
• shout out to hannah! <3
• shout out to megan! <3
• don't be offended if you didn't get a shout out; if you're reading this, i'm probably thankful for you, too.
• selfie dates. (not to be confused with selfie pictures. especially those of the bathroom genre.)
• my birthday also known as: the best day of the whole entire year! 
• presents. both given (nothing better than knowing exactly what someone wants, and seeing their face when you give it to them!) and received (i'll be honest: i'm big a fan of the received ones. they don't even have to be big! 88 cent carmex, for example. i just love to be thought of.)
•  again. i have the best family. ever.

(i'm thankful for these things every day, not just on thanksgiving, to be clear.)

happy thanksgiving, cutie pies.
(speaking of pies: please eat a nice, big piece, or 4 today!)(i'd also recommend a mashed potato sandwich. it's less weird than it sounds.) (or maybe not, but it is delicioussss.)
and hey: write a blog post. or leave a comment. or make a facebook post. what are you thankful for?
have a good one, guys.
stay cute!

p.s- if you're one of those punks who still hasn't started up with the christmas music? man up and do it already.
