Things I am Thankful For In 2008

- Edward Cullen.
- Color.
- Running shoes who forgive me though they have been neglected. (I'm baaaack!)

- SHOES! They always make me happy.
- My father, who treats my mother with the most utmost love, adoration, and respect a human can give.

- The many examples of good and healthy celestial marriages in my life and the dream that I will have one someday.
- 2012.

- Hair color. Lots of hair color.
- Uyen's return to Utah. Yeah!
