my thankfuls for today:
1. Mum and Dad's advice, and the fact that they'll drop everything they're doing if they know I need to talk.
2. Sisters. I can't wait to see you guys!
3. Chocolate fountains. We dipped strawberries, bananas, pretzels, and marshmallows into them at our relief society enrichment tonight!
count down 'til I see my family on the 21st: 4 days!

1. Cross country is over..it was way fun while it lasted, but I'm definately going to enjoy the 2 1/2 hours of sleeping in.
2. That its now in the single digit count down for Thanksgiving break!

Thankfuls:
1. Email and (can you believe I'm saying this?)blogs, so that when people don't answer their phones, at least I can feel closer to them by looking at their posts or emailing.
2. Gram's cooperation in letting me write my paper on her!
3. The devotionals here at BYUI. Today Elder Clayton, from the Presidency of the Seventy came and spoke to us. His talk was about having a firm foundation on the Saviour. It was so good! I look forward to going to devotional every week; even though it takes a big chunk of time out of the day, it refuels me for the rest of the week.

Thankfuls:
1. The fact that you can change your facebook language to Pirate! Its hilarious, you should try it. It changes everything to say 'ohoy mateys!' and 'Arr, this be pleasin' to me eye'and calls everyone by 'lady' or 'cap'n', and calls people 'scallywags'. And when I changed it, it said "Th'saucy wench Cami be usin' Ye olde Facebook in th' tongue o' English(Pirate)" It made my day.
2. That my roommate, Jenny has a car. Its tough having to plan around her schedule as to when we can go, and sometimes I have to go a few days without certain foods, but I'm glad I can at least catch a ride with her sometimes!
3. Picture messages. The one Dani sent out of Jackson with glasses on was so cute! It makes me feel like I'm closer to my family!

Three things I'm thankful for
1. My Dad's willingness to put money on my I-card so I can eat in the school's cafeteria and have some real food!
2. The power of prayer. I had a huge math exam today that I was dreading taking, and studied for hours on end. I prayed and prayed that I'd do well, took a big leap and took it on the first day the test opened..and aced it! I know heavenly father always hears and answers our prayers and I'm so thankful I can put my trust in him.
3. my roommate, Keesha. She's what keeps me sane here in our little bubble of Rexburg, Idaho.
