Excitement!!

I am really excited about this holiday season!

I can't exactly put my finger on it. Maybe it's because I'm less than two months away from the last final exam of my life. Maybe it's because we've been blessed so much this year and I have much thanks to give to others. Or maybe it's because I've grown this year in many ways and can truly appreciate the simple blessings that I have in my life every single day.

**I am able to wake up (even in a very bad mood) and see my best friend every single morning.
**I love the pitter patter of Sara's feet as she comes to get in our bed early in the morning.
**I love the fact that when I do get out of school I'll always be able to provide for my family.
**I cherish the fact that I'll be able to return my gratitude to Darrel by allowing him to go to school without having to work at the same time.
**I am looking forward to learning how to sew so I can make things for Sara like my mom made for me.
**I am looking forward to being completely out of debt in less than 10 years. Hooray!!
**I am very grateful for what the Lord has given me. Even when I just pray to Him I am able to understand a small portion of His will for me and my family. It warms my heart and humbles me to do better.
**As many people know I hate Augusta. But it has given me and my family the very best opportunity to earn our education and prepare ourselves for our future.
**I am grateful for the friends we have made in our ward and the examples they provide for me to follow.
**I am excited to graduate and finally get a job that is worth going to.

This season always brings me hope and encourages me to increase my faith and love for myself and others.
