Sometimes I get so caught up in myself and the things that I don't have. Then something will happen that just reminds me of how blessed I really am. Yesterday that something was spending Thanksgiving with Aunt Lilly and Uncle Rick's family. Having family in Utah makes all the difference. Even though they aren't cousins that I grew up with, I love them just like I've always known them. Being with people that love me, reminded me that it doesn't matter what boy I'm not dating or what things I don't have because I have so, so much. Family is never perfect, but I'm convinced it's the closest thing to Heaven we'll ever know on Earth. I've been so blessed to have aunts and uncles to learn from, cousins to laugh with, brothers to play with, sisters who are my my best friends, and parents who listen, encourage, and love unconditionally.
