First Ever Thanksgiving (13)

We got to spend Thanksgiving at Meg's house and it was such a yummy day. I think the American's make more food for thanksgiving than for Christmas! THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD!

Here are some photos of our feast!

 Fabulous roommates looking swanky.

We worked out that there was half a pie PER PERSON. Isn't that just crazy? The food was so good (thanks Sister Kelly!) and we had the chance to talk about Christmas and traditions and our family. It definitely made me miss mine but I was also really grateful that I have a family. We slept then ate then slept then ate then slept. 

On Thanksgiving night we went to the cinema and we watched "The Theory of Everything". It was such an emotional movie and it made me count my blessings again!

So I just want to write a few things I'm thankful for at this time of year:

• I am so thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, who makes everything possible, comforts me when I am sad, and gives me reason to rejoice even if nothing else does.
• I am thankful for my family who always looks after me and who loves me so much. I love you guys!
• I am so thankful for friends, especially those who stick by you no matter the circumstances, who keep their promises and keep up a friendship despite the time differences and oceans between us.
• I am so thankful for food, clothing, a home. It all makes me grateful. The simple yet vital things.
• I am thankful for BYU, for the education it is giving me, for the friends I have found here. 

Happy thanksgiving everyone, and now that it's over we can get ready to say HAPPY CHRISTMAS :)
