EFY 2009 BC

So, I figured that I would give you an update. I did not get hired to be a BC for this summer. I didn't really think that I would get hired, so I'm not too disappointed. But, yep I didn't get it. I guess that's a good thing for Brandon and I though. Now, I won't be away from him all summer! I have my interview to be a counselor for this summer, January 12th. We'll see what happens there!

Home for Thanksgiving!

So, I had to wait a little while to post this. But, I'm home for Thanksgiving, and then some! Why you may ask did I have to wait to post this? I had to wait because I was surprising my family, with the exception of my mom.

I was talking to my friend Travis on Wednesday afternoon, and he told me that he was visiting up in Provo, and that he would love it if I drove back home with him. So, I told him that if I could find a way back to Provo, I would love to ride back with him. That was when I got to work. I started calling all of my friends who I knew were driving home for Thanksgiving, looking for a ride back. Then, calling both of my parents to see if they could buy me a plane ticket, and nothing was working! Finally, I got a hold of my dad, and he told me a DEFINITE no, on getting me a plane ticket. And, we ended up in this HUGE fight. I then called my mom and told her that I wouldn't be coming home, when she told me that she would buy my ticket! I was so excited!

So, now, here I am, sitting at home, enjoying the warmth! I will be here until Tuesday Dec. 2nd. I am so thankful to my mom, who actually wanted me home for Thanksgiving. I totally shocked Lauren, and Nathan swears like he wasn't surprised. I spent all day yesterday with Lauren. I seriously miss that! She is my best friend in the whole world, and being about a 10-hour ride from her is so hard. Besides Brandon, she is probably the hardest to be away from. She understands me better than anyone else, besides Brandon! I'm excited though, to be home and to have gotten to spend some time with her! I'm looking forward to Tuesday, when I get to spend more time with her!

Thanksgiving

Dear Reader,

I was searching the internet for a good poem to use for my FHE lesson last night, and I came across this one. And, I feel like it describes my life perfectly.

The author is unknown
"Thanksgiving Day"
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure
But in truth, our riches astound.

We have friends, and family we love;
We have guidance from Heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.

So add up your blessing, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got
Realize it's a lot
And you'll make all your cares go away.


And, I realize while I was reading this, that too many people take Thanksgiving for granted. Thanksgiving isn't just a day to sit and eat as much turkey as possible. (Although, that is what I thought when I was little.) But, it is truly a day to give thanks for all of the blessing we have. As a 20-year old college student, I realize that I don't have a whole lot, but what I do have, I've got a lot! I have the love of family and friends, I have the knowledge that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me, and I know that Jesus is my Lord and Savior and he was crucified and atoned for my sins!

So, I ask you, that you remember this Thanksgiving day all of the many blessings that you have, and don't forget them once the day is over. God doesn't stop loving you just because the day is over, he loves you 24/7, 365 days a year.

Love you!
Terri Ann

Snow?

Where is it? That's what I'd sure like to know. I was told when I moved out here, that it starts snowing here around Halloween, and we're almost to Thanksgiving, and it has only snowed once here! What is this? I feel like I've gotten jipped! ha ha ha. Everyone says that I will not be saying this come March, but right now, I want my snow! ha ha ha.
