Happy Turkey Day

In honor of the Thanksgiving break I decided to post about some of the things I am grateful for.
These are in no particular order - Some of these are religious, others are more humorous...a good smattering of what makes up my wonderful life:


1 - God
2 - Jesus Christ & His Atonement which allows me to continually overcome my weaknesses
3 - The Restored Gospel and my membership in the True Church here on earth
4 - Joseph Smith and every prophet in this dispensation through President Monson
5 - The Book of Mormon (and all scriptures for that matter)
6 - My Family
7 - My angelic mom who can only be described as a Saint
8 - My Dad who is the epitome of a righteous priesthood holder and treats my mom like his princess
9 - All my brothers and sisters and how much they make fun of me for being single
10 - James Reed Belliston - a fine man and an even better friend. Roommate for three years now and a great pillow-talk partner
11 - Steven Christopher Fisher - 1 part oaf, 3 parts cowboy, and an all around genuinely loving person - couldn't ask for a better friend
12 - Bryce Kimball Gandy (also known as Bruskers) - childhood sandbox playmate and official apartment entertainment - not a mean bone in his chiseled body
13 - My baby - My MacBook computer - she never lets me down
14 - My 1995 gold Toyota Camry (who by the way is still unnamed - I'm open to any recommendations - she's a girl, I know that much)
15 - My wonderful job at the MTC
16 - Great professors who take the time to help me realize my potential - specifically Geoff Wright who pushes me to accomplish things I wouldn't do on my own
17 - Ice Cream - nothing gets me ready for bed quite like it
18 - Cheesecake - see ice cream
19 - BYU - I love it here
20 - My 18 pairs of basketball shorts (I gave away my 5 least worn pairs)
21 - Hoodies - makes getting out of bed bearable
22 - Sportscenter - no description required
23 - My mission experience in the Philippines
24 - A pair of jeans that fits just right (Click Here to get my exact feelings) - I actually have a pair I bought in 1999 that I love
25 - My extended family (aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, in-laws, etc.) - I get to see them quite often and I actually enjoy spending time with them
26 - Orange slices (the candy)
27 - Anything with the word cream in it (Ice____, ____ cheese, Whipped ____, etc.)
28 - Pineapple
29 - Rice (the good kind - long grain - from Asia)
30 - Tillamok Cheese
31 - EFY
32 - Good friends (yes that includes you - all 368 of you on facebook who claim me as a friend) - I would list you all by name but then no one would want to read this...
33 - My mom's homecooking - I get it every Sunday night
34 - Earplugs (Reed says some weird things in his sleep)
35 - Tabs (I hated having to open a new window for every new web page you went to)
36 - Trix and Peanut Butter Crunch
37 - Belts - not a huge fan of suspenders
38 - Strawberries and Rasperries
39 - Meat
40 - Cheese
41 - Nerdy people who understand me (I spend about 30 minutes a day at least surfing the internet and reading all my RSS feeds)
42 - Hot Showers
43 - My pillows
44 - Toothbrushes - I really like brushing my teeth
45 - Good books (Les Mis, Harry Potter, Man's search for meaning, etc)
46 - Country Dancing - love it
47 - Country Music (George Strait, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Emerson Drive, etc)
48 - Christmas lights
49 - Good smelling Candles
50 - Deodorant
51 - Musicals
52 - Christmas Music
53 - Peppermint Ice Cream & Hot Fudge
54 - Plaid
55 - Adobe Creative Suite CS3
56 - Chicken Alfredo
57 - Good Socks (the champion socks from Costco - I have yet to find a better sock)
58 - The internet
59 - Volleyball
60 - Park Football
61 - Family Home Evening
62 - My roommates printer (I've printed many a paper of that printer)

And, there are many more, but I'm sure half of you who get on here don't make it even this far so I'll just stop there.

Happy Thanksgiving - there's a lot to be grateful for!

I have an issue with number 47.
I tried so hard to start you on a path that would take you far far away from that type of music. Apparently I failed.
I still think you're a good person. A great person actually.
