Thanks!

I am sitting here on the night of Thanksgiving- and decided that it would be appropriate to share with you some of the things that I am thankful for right now!

1. My loving Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ
2. Awesome and supportive family and friends- you guys rock my socks!
3. Dryers- and towels that are soft and fluffy! (as opposed to stiff and sand-papery!)
4. Missionary work- specifically the baptisms of two good friends of mine: Anup and Saurav! They will be great instruments in helping to spread the gospel in their native land of Nepal.
5. Chocolate- specifically Ritter-Sport Strawberry Yogurty goodness of love
6. Mosquito nets- 'nough said!
7. Adorable kids that give me sweet kisses and hugs and make me laugh
8. Mexican food (especially when I can actually eat it)
9. Music- it lifts my soul and gives power to my funky dance moves
10. Being able to take food into a movie theater
11. Skype, e-mail, blogs and Facebook- keeping me connected to those who really matter! ;)
12. Leche's fried rice, Daungwa Neo-ni, mangoes, dumplings
13. Traveling
14. My Asia trekking around Thailand and Malaysia
15. A guided trek through Northern Thailand that includes an elephant ride, sleeping with the local hill tribe, white-water rafting, bamboo-rafting, and hiking through the jungle! (-sigh- my life is awesome)
16. Soft beds
17. My Chaco sandals
18. SCUBA DIVING
19. The scriptures- it is amazing that a thing so simple as reading my scriptures everyday can make my life so much better!
20. My Y.W.
21. Christmas music- esp. the new David Archuleta Christmas album- check it out!
22. BOOKS
23. Tender mercies and the Lord's hand in my life daily- He really blesses me so much!
24. Laughing so hard your side aches
25. The kindness and helpfulness of the Taiwanese people! They never cease to amaze me! Also- living in Taiwan!

There are so many things I am thankful for- but these were just a few I was thinking of today! I encourage you all to write your own lists and see how blessed we all are! I love and miss you all and hope you have a marvelous Thanksgiving! Eat some Turkey and mashed potatoes and gravey for me! Oh- if you are wondering- we are going to try and create our own Thanksgiving meal on Saturday with what we can find in Costco- haha. There will be over 20 of us- mostly English teachers and some Taiwanese secretaries- it should be a blast!
Love to all!
