Grateful Sunday

Ahh, Sundays! Sunday is my favorite day of the week for many reasons, one being I have the chance to reflect on my week and see all of the wonderful blessings I have received.
This week I am grateful for:

• The promptings of the spirit. The Holy Ghost is such an amazing gift and it blesses my life so much when I am allowing it to be in my life. Recently I have been thinking about my decision to come to BYU and had I not listened to prompting I received to choose BYU I would have missed out on so many amazing experiences. I am so grateful for those promptings, big or little, that have brought me to where I am today. 
• Love. Yesterday during the first session of stake conference Elder Sitterud of the Seventy talked about love and what love can do for us and to us. It was such a great talk and it really reminded me that I need to be more loving towards everyone in my life. Christ was the ultimate example of love and I have been blessed to feel his love throughout my life, it is truly an amazing thing.
• Families. Families are the most important thing on this earth and I have been so blessed with such a wonderful family. Being engaged and preparing to create a family of my own with my fiance has caused me to think about how much I love my family and how important they are to me. I am so excited for my future family with Laren and that we will be able to enjoy the blessings of the temple as a family. 
• My mom. I cannot express enough love and gratitude for my mom. She is an amazing person and an amazing mother. Being my mom, she knows me better than anyone and sometimes we can disagree but I am so grateful for her ability to recognize something in me and tell me about it. I recently switched majors and she was so helpful to me in that process. I love her so much and I am going to miss spending all of my free time with her!! 
• My job. I love my job!! My boss is so wonderful and I could not ask for better people to work with. Everyone is so kind and willing to work with one another, it makes going to work such a great part of my day. 
• My wonderful fiance. I'm sure everyone thinks this about their fiance/ husband, but he is the best! Even with all the great, fun things in life right now, there is also a lot of stress and hard decisions to make. He is so kind and understanding and patient with me and I am beyond grateful for all that he does to make life easier for me and to show me he cares. 
• Spring. Spring is such a fantastic season! While losing an hour of sleep is not the best, having more daylight certainly is! The weather in Provo has been sunny and warm and so happy the last few days. I love spring because it is fresh, and new, and warm and it is such a good reminder to me of the great things in life.
