HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

So me and Kelsie are pretty excited to get home for Christmas! As well as Syd and Dallin! We leave this week and are stoked! We started packing last week and are loving every second of it! It has been a great semester but I am ready for a break! That being said I am sure I will be ready to come back to school before April as well! I am just so excited to see our family!

I am not going to lie I was pretty bummed to find out that everyone had the family dinner with out us, but I am still excited to see y'all!

Christmas time makes me reflect a lot about myself and my life! I am so thankful for our family and the joy everyone brings into my life! I am filled with gratitude for my older brother the Savior Jesus Christ and the love he has for me, I am thankful for the atonement and I know that through it we are all able to return to our Father in Heaven! I am so very, very thankful that we can be together forever as a family! I am grateful for our family members here on the earth today and those that have gone before us especially Grandpa and Weston, and I have no doubt that they watch over and protect us daily! I am thankful for the priesthood that I have in my life and am thankful that my dad, brothers, uncles, and cousins can have it, I am thankful that I am able to attend college and work! I am grateful for the temple and the church! I am thankful for the roof over my head and the shoes on my feet! I am thankful that I have never had to go hungry and have always lived comfortably! I am not going to lie this list could continue on forever!

I just want to challenge everyone to do acts of service through the season and this upcoming year, remember your blessings and what is really important in life! Tell your loved ones that you love them, and tell them often! Pick up the phone and call your siblings! And give prayers of gratitude! I promise that as you serve others and show gratitude you will be happier and you will feel the Saviors love in your life!!!

That being said I love you all and miss everyone! I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and Happy New Year! I love our family! We truly are so very blessed! NEVER forget that!
