some thoughts

Lately I've failed to recognize the little everyday blessings I have in my life so I'm making a goal to jot a few down everyday not on the blog don't you worry.

• I have a job that I love and that teaches me patience and love
• Received a nice letter from a friend,the ink didn't smear when I accidentally dropped it in the pool, that said some stuff that I needed to be reminded of.
• Had time to read and hang out at the pool 
• It wasn't as difficult to keep Rylan off the computer today, and he showed his sweet little personality while he was playing on his swing 
• Spent time with multiple friends
• I was able to see my brother and sister one last time before they headed to Cali
• Went to Zumba for the first time in a while and felt good to be back

It's A Great Day To Be Alive

So today it dawned on me, I have SOO much to be happy about! I was feeling pretty down about all the negatives in my life and I compleltely forgot that I have way more positives! But thanks to a wonderful lesson in young womens today taught by Tracy Gilman I realized how silly I was being because I have a great life and lots to be grateful for. So thanks to Tracy I'm going to try my best to have a different out look on life. In honor of this new resolution I figured I might as well share some of the positives of today.

1- I had a great weekend up in salt lake with my friends for State Volleyball but I got to come home today and be with my sweet family
2- Its a gloomy day, and I just happen to love gloomy days
3- I will be eating sunday dinner within the hour
4- My sister did a cute post on her blog about my beautiful new niece Ella Elgene Torres ( who by the way I get to meet at Christmas time and I couldn't be more thrilled!!!)
5- My voice is starting to return
6- I got to take a shower after a long bus ride home!
7- I get to go to my bishops house for dessert tonight, holla!!
8- Only 18 more days until Thanksgiving, and I get to see the most amazing family, and eat some great food of course
9- I'll have another sister who I love in a couple of months
10- I get to see my sister in a month
11- I get to go visit my Grandma Frei today
12- As I'm sitting here blogging I can hear my dad making his famous mashed potatoes!!
13- My mom wants to make a giant snowball cake
14- Brynne made a very sweet post on her blog about my Ogden family and my Grandma Nonka that I keep reading over and over just because it makes me so happy to hear about them
15- Its sunday and I get to hang out with my family who I missed this weekend.
16- I'm going to work on college applications!

The list goes on, but I realize this is probably not the most exciting post for other people besides myself to read so I'll stop there. I hope your days the bomb.com
