hello again...

oh hey, my name is Chandler -- in case you forgot.

i took a nice long break. and guess what?

i don't really feel bad...

i enjoyed myself actually.

i will blog about that later. 

but here i am again. 

ready for my gratitude post?

here we go...

11. a warm and cozy bed to sleep in each night...that sometimes is too cozy and makes me miss class in the morning. i have nothing to do with it, it is all the bed's fault.

12. the feeling of getting a letter or something from Keat after two weeks of not hearing from him!

13. Murray, Ut. i loved growing up there and getting excited each time i get to go home to it. its such a cute city.

14. Doctors. i was feeling craptastic, and they fixed me. splendid.

15. aggie basketball! no explanation needed.

(sidenote: the fire alarm just went off in my building. i live in a building full of girls. it is 9 am on a monday morning. that was funny.)

16. Prayer. it changes lives.

17. creativity. even though i am not the most creative person, i love being inspired by others and seeing what amazing things they create.

18. christmas music. now that it is officially christmas time, it puts me in the best mood!

19. the temple. my house of peace. and it sure it breathtakingly beautiful.

20. examples. my life is filled with great examples to me. i am so lucky.

21. birthdays! i love being able to make a day special for someone.

22. grandparents. i have an unusual amount of grandparents. i am lucky to know all of them and even a set of great-grandparents. they have all lived some pretty great lives and its always fun spending time with them.

23. pictures. some say that i take way too many pictures. but capturing moments that you can keep forever seems like a pretty great idea to me. i love finding pictures that i have forgotten about and instantly going back to that moment that i may have never remembered.

24. babies. my best friend is having her baby soon, and there is nothing sweeter or more special to me than a new baby. i love love love them. 

25. my sister. i know i have already said family, but she is my best friend and is pretty great. i don't know what i would have done if i didn't have an older sister like Kacey. she put up with so much having me as a little sister, but she loved it. 

26. the scriptures. my answers to every question.

27. hunger games. i'm hooked. 

28. today is keat's 2 month mark. yessssss. he is such a great missionary. check out the blog!

there ya have it. i shall finish the last 3 when those days come. maybe. hopefully.

have an attitude of gratitude, people. it makes such a difference. 

xoxo
