thankful for thanksgiving

thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday. i love getting together with some of the family, and stuffing your bellies full of turkey and pie. this year i went to my grandma and grandpa johnsons for the holiday and it was such a fun time to hang out with some of the uncles and aunts and cousins. we ate tons and tons of food and played phase ten for hours. (which i happened to win!!) and then at midnight i met up with shan and we went to black friday at south town mall. i am still trying to decide if it was worth it, even though i got some awesome deals. the lines were just killer. we got home about six in the morning. next year we aren't going to go right at midnight, the lines are too long until about four in the morning. but it was fun to spend time with shan and buy a few gifts for friends and for myself :) but this thanksgiving i was thinking about what i am grateful for and here is some of the things i came up with...
*my wonderful family
*my friends who are always there for me when i need a shoulder to cry on or someone to laugh with
*power (our power went out for about 18 hours right before the dreaded blizzard, and our house was FREEZING!!)
*the gospel
*my job
*the education i am receiving
*the miracle of forgiveness :)

i know there are many many things i am leaving out of that far too short list, but i hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!
