I am Thankful Day 4

4. I am thankful for Heavenly Father. He is such a huge aspect in my life. I know that He loves me and cares about me. He is continuously blessing me in my daily life. I know that I can always count on Him and He will help me out when I need it and sometimes when I think I don't need it. I love Him and am so grateful that I know that He cares for me and takes time to listen to me and to help me. 

Things I am Thankful For....Days 1-3

Okay since it is that wonderful time of the year where we start thinking about what we are thankful for, I decided that I would post 1 thing I am thankful for every day. But since it is the 3rd of November I am going to do 3 in one post :)
1. My Family: I love my family so much! They are so awesome! I am so thankful for their examples in my life. I have my Dad, who is so strong in the gospel and he is my rock. I love him so much and am so thankful that I was given him as a father. My Mom and I are so much alike, which can cause problems at times, but is so fun! We like the same types of books which is great! I am a major reader and I love to read all types of books. My brother, Josh is a fantastic example to me. He recently left on his mission and I am so proud of him. I think it is great that he would sacrifice 2 years to teach the gospel. I love him and miss him every day. My sister, Amanda is just a fun girl. She can always make me laugh and she gives the best fashion advice. She is a fabulous basketball player and is so fun to watch! I LOVE MY FAMILY!
2. Emma Stuckey: She is my best friend and I am so thankful for her. She has kept me going when I am down. I broke with my boyfriend about 2 months ago and she was there whenever I needed her. I can always count on her to make me laugh. She is always getting me hooked on new tv shows. She has hooked me on: Bones, Chuck, Leverage, Castle, Franklin and Bash, Studio 60 and probably some more that I can't think of right now. She is an amazing person and a fantastic friend and I love her!
3. The Gospel: I LOVE the Gospel! It is AMAZING!!! It has brought me close to my Heavenly Father and I have received so many blessing from it. It helps me with all of my decisions and helps me be a better person. It allows me to make good choices so that I am healthy and happy. I think that everyone should love the Gospel! I think that I have appreciated it even more now that I am living in Utah. There are so many members here but not everyone is a faithful member. I am so glad that I was raised in PA and was able to have such a strong testimony!
Those are my 1st three things I am thankful for. Till tomorrow.......

Update

WOW! It has been awhile since I have posted on this thing. LOL. I have been in Utah for a year and so much has happened. I have had jobs, lost jobs. I was dating this guy for a little over 8 months, however he decided he didn't want to be Mormon anymore so that ended. I feel like I have been so blessed even though I have had so many trials this year.
I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for everything He has given me. He has given me FANTASTIC friends who have helped me through all of the issues I have had. He has given me an AMAZING family who love me and care about me. He continues to give me guidance throughout my life. I am so thankful for Him and everything He has given me.
So what is going on right now in my life?
My little brother, Josh left on his mission 8 weeks ago and is doing so well in the MTC. He is serving in the Campinas, Brazil Mission. I know that he will be a fantastic missionary. He loves the gospel so much. My cousin, tanner just left on his mission about a month ago. He is serving in the Washington DC South Mission. I know he will do well as a missionary too. It is so weird to me that my little brother and cousin are gone for 2 years! I miss them both so much.
I am doing well. I just got a full time job, not a temp job-which is what I have been doing for the past couple of months. I am working for a company called ROI Solutions which is a customer service call center. I just started this past Monday but I am liking it so far. This is just another blessing from the Lord. I am living in an apartment with 3 other girls. I can't say that I like living with other girls but what can you do. LOL. I am still hanging out with my best friend Emma. I have also become great friends with a girl named Jenesis. She is actually getting married on Jan 3rd and I am a bridesmaid. :) So that is fun!
So that is a little update. I think that I am going to start posting regularly from now on. :)

Finally!

I have lived in Utah for a bout a month now. I have have things I like and things I don't like about Utah.

THINGS I LIKE:

-Everything is so close.

-I don't use as much gas.

-There are a ton of different places to eat.

-There is a dollar theater right down the street :)

-I live 15 minutes away from my Aunt and Uncle and Cousins. LOVE THEM

-I get to spend a ton of time with my best friend, Emma Stuckey

THINGS I DON'T LIKE:

-The drivers are CRAZY!

-People think that driving 15 minutes is forever away!

-It is cold.

-It snows a lot.

-It took me a month to get a job.

So other than those couple of things that I don't like, I am enjoying it. I finally got a job!!!! This is an answer to my prayers. (also I would like to thank everyone in PA who continued to pray for me.) I have been praying so much and so hard and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father. I know that He has a plan for me and He knows how much I can truly handle. I though I could not handle any more stress and I told Him that I was beginning to fear instead of have faith and the next day I got a job!!!!!

The job is working for Caremark Insurance Company (which is ironic since I worked for CVS and the two companies are combined). I am going to be working in the Prior Authorization Department. Which means when a drug needs approved for payment by the insurance company, it is my job to review the case and talk to doctors and pharmacies if needed. I am so excited that I finally got a job.

So thank you again to everyone who prayed for me. I really appreciate it. I love you all.

Things I am Thankful For......

So it has been a pretty long time since I posted but I decided since I have moved I should start posting again.
IF you don't know, I have picked up my life and moved across the country to Utah. (of all places, I know right. I NEVER thought I would move here but here I am.) I don't have a job yet, I did have one but it did not work out. I am praying that I will find a job soon, but I know that Heavenly Father wants me here and so I KNOW that it will work out.
I have SO much to be thankful for in my life...I decided to list some of them.
I AM THANKFUL.....
...for my Heavenly Father, who loves me and know what is best for me.
...for my family in PA. I love them all so much and miss them very much. I am glad that they are so supportive and loving.
....for my Aunt Barbara, Uncle Brian and their kids. They have let me become a part of their family since I moved out here. I have gotten to see so much stuff with them and I am so thankful they have let me be so involved in their lives.
....for my car. It made it the whole way across country without any problems and it is so reliable. I love my little focus :)
...for Emma. She has become my best friend. She convinced me to move to Utah and I see her all the time. I truly love her and am so grateful for her in my life. I know I can always call her or text her and she will be there for me.
...for Music. I don't know what I would do without music. It brings so much joy to my life.
...for Books. I love being able to escape and start reading a book and get to know the characters and get enthralled in the story.
...for Facebook. It seems like a silly thing to be thankful for, but I am glad that I can stay connected to my friends back east.
...for all of my many friends. I love you all and am so glad that I have you in my life. You have made me laugh, and been there when I cry. Thank you!
...for those people who have betrayed me. I am thankful to you, because I am now a better and stronger person. I would not be the same person today without those betrayals.
There are many more things that I am grateful for, but for now, I think this is enough.

I am so grateful!

I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father. Last weekend I was in a car accident. It totally sucked!!!! I have not had my car since last Saturday and I will not get it back till next friday. It is $3090 worth of repairs. Thank goodness for insurance and I only have to pay my $500 deductible. Unfortunately, I do not have the money and I have been praying to try to figure out what to do. No matter which way I figure out the math I am always $200 short. Needless to say I have been super stressed and have cried ALOT this past week. But my Heavenly Father answered my prayers through my parents! My amazing parents who I love so dearly have told me that they will lend me the extra $200 to pay to get my car back. I am so thankful for them and for my Heavenly Father and His love and I know that He answers my prayers.

Oops.....

Ok so I am a total bum.....I have not blogged in over a month.....Time for an update :) It has snowed WAY TOOOOOOOO much!!!
