Manti Te'o

Manti Te'o. Straight up stud. 
Not only because he is 
one of the best college 
football players right now, 
but because he knows 
what's up. 
He has his priorities 
in order. 
He has unshakable faith. 
And he is an awesome example. 
I found this video of him and 
shoot. dang. 
so 
awesome. 



If only he chose BYU....

It has come and gone.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone already?
I totally slacked off, 
and didn't even finish up my Thankful posts
so here we go. 

Day 22
Emotions. 
I am thankful for the emotions which I am able to feel.
Happiness is of course my favorite, 
but there are so many emotions which 
are powerful as well.
I am thankful that I am 
able to feel sadness
and disappointment. 
Without those feelings, 
I would not know the great 
enjoyment of joy or success.

As I did these thankful posts, 
I realized I have been so blessed in 
my life. 
It's so easy to overlook
all of the great things which we have in
each of our lives. 
Some days it was hard to find something 
that I was grateful for, 
and on a couple occasions 
I even asked my roommates to 
give me ideas on what I could say I 
was grateful for. 
Pathetic.
But, back to my train of thought....
ALWAYS be grateful, thankful, 
and full of Thanksgiving. 
November is not the only time 
of year in which we can share our 
thankfulness.
We need to always have an 
attitude 
of 
gratitude.

Twenty One

Day 21
Memories. 
Today I was able to catch up with
one of my best friends, 
and talking about all the good times 
we used to have made me so 
thankful for the memories 
we were able to make, 
and the ability to be able to 
remember the good times.

Knowledge which I have is one 
of the main components to my happiness in life.

the gospel of Jesus Christ, food, 
great friends, a car,

But I am so very thankful for them
and the ease which they bring into my life.

Dia de dieciséi.

Day 16
Time.
It's one of the most precious things we have.
One of my VERY best friends hits his one year mark 
TODAY for his LDS mission. 
Where has the time gone?!
But, that's why I'm so very thankful for time.
I look back to who I was when he left, and 
shoot. dang. 
Things have changed. 
And because of TIME, 
it's all been possible.
With time things are able to 
grow.
mature.
change.
blossom.
I am so very thankful for time 
and for the opportunities which 
it places in my life.  



See you in 365 Elder Miko

Train
I don't even like the band Train, 
but today I'm thankful for them because 
I found a song from them titled: 
"Mermaids"

Sometimes when I daydream, 
I'm a mermaid....
Check the song out. It's killer.

Let the thanks begin!

Well...it's November
We all know what that means. 
22 days of pure thankfulness.
So..lets start this sucker off right. 

Day 1

I'm thankful for my body. Not just my body, but the healthiness of it too. 
I can, run, skip, hop, jump, dance, twirl, and prance in this body. 
And I love it.
I love being able to wake up in the morning and feel the soreness in my muscles, 
because I am healthy enough to be able to work those muscles.  
My body is a gift, and I am so very thankful for it.
