Thanks October

October 29th 2012

 

How I love October. You ask anyone and they'll know it's my favorite time of year. I love them smells, the leaves, the sweaters, thanksgiving, halloween, boots, colours, pumpkins, cuddleing, blankets, early nights, hot chocolate, fires ahh the list could go on. How sad am I that it is almost over. Yet, even though it's coming to an end there are a few things this October that I am thankful for.

 

1. Got to go to General Conference with my sister and her husband. Got to connect with them both a little better and opened up about things I had never shared before.

2. Fall in love all over again.

3. Get my heart broken- you may wonder why I am thankful for that. Even though it hurts I know I am a better, stronger, believer because of him. He helped me learn to love myself even if he couldnt.

4. Temples. I was so lucky to go through the Calgary Temple open house 3 times. What a joy to be able to enter the Lords House a few times. I went with the people that matter the most to me and I am thrilled for forever.

5. Work. This month at work has been very testing for me, but hey working with teenage girls always is. I feel im getting pay back for being a pain in the butt to my own parents. Karma right?

6. Taylor Swift. I adore her songs and every single song of hers speaks to me. It's honestly as if she's taken my feelings and put them to a tune. Her new album RED is by far one of her best :D

7. EFY. I love love love EFY and have worked for them for the past 4 summers. Next summer will sadly be my last as you are only allowed to work for 5 summers. I learned a lot this past summer at EFY and dispite the hard times of running a program for 500 people I learned a lot about myself and what I want to do one day.

8. Weddings. If you have ever seen "27 Dresses" you have pretty much watched my life story (minus the whole being in love with your boss but then falling for the o so cute bad boy who doesnt believe in love and having your own happily ever after) Funny thing is her name is Jane also and she has red hair. NBD. I was honored to be a bridesmaid for Kayla and Braden Baker this month and go to the Regina Temple where they were sealed for time and all eternity. Being there and witnessing a true love like that makes me even more hopefull for my future and what I have to offer and what I want. It was also a time I got to reconnect with some great friends and make new ones. Win Win. Yay for December where I get to be a Maid of Honor for 2 gorgeous brides and their hubbys!

9. Parents. My parents were called as Temple Workers for the Calgary Temple. Their amazing example to me makes me want to be a better person every day. They are two of the most selfless people I've ever met and I am so happy the Lord gave me them to guide me through this life.

10. Cleanliness. Cleanliness is next to Godliness right? Gotta love a good Autumn clean out...still in the process of it and have some stuff to give away if anyone needs some purses/clothes...hmm once I'm done I may just have to go shopping to fill the empty spaces. YAY!

What are some things you're thankful for this October?

-Stay Beautiful xoxo
