A Few Of My Favorite Things...

I have been feeling a little homesick (big surprise)... I am such a baby! I see my family almost every week, I live 25 minutes away from my house, and I talk to my mom on a daily basis and my dad on a weekly one. So tonight I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself, and start feeling grateful. The idea of blogging popped into my head, and I liked the idea. Sometimes I just need to remember the little things that make my life so full. Here is a list of some of my favorite things:

• Smiling at someone you don't even know, and knowing they mean it when they smile back.
• Drinking herbal tea in pajamas and fuzzy socks.
• When my mom kisses my cheek after a long period (a few days) of not seeing her :)
• Hugs from friends and family.
• Breathing the fresh, crisp Autumn air as I walk to class every day.
• The feeling that you have just studied your butt off.
• Letters from missionaries, well... one missionary (p.s. 10 months left)
• Laughing so hard my stomach hurts.
• Taking quiet moments by myself to ponder and feel my Savior's love.
• Replenishing the empty pantry with new groceries.
• Baking foods of all sorts.
• Getting A's on tests.
• Screaming and jumping and clapping at football games.
• Walking in the rain with my polka-dot umbrella.
• My mom's amazing cooking.
• Eating breakfast and reading the Ensign at the same time.
• Watching the leaves turn from green to yellow and orange and red.
• The Holiday buzz that is just beginning...
• Watching chick flicks when my heart is needing a little sap.
• Phone calls from my dad on Sunday nights.
• And so many more...

I am learning so much from college. I am LOVING my classes, and really enjoying my time here.

How blessed am I?? Pretty darn.
