grateful...

do you ever feel so overcome with gratitude that you are brought to tears?

i do, right now. i have been thinking about friendships and the importance they play in my life. i can't help but feel grateful for the friendships that i am a part of.

i was cleaning out some things today and i came across some old cards, letters and notes. i think it started my thinking...

do you have a life-altering moment?

one moment in time that changed you forever?

i have a few...

* the moment that i met ann miller. she is someone that helped me become who i am today. i have thought about her, or talked to her everyday since i was 8 years old. i heard a quote in a movie that said... "without her, i don't make sense". i believe that.

* my decision to move to logan, utah. i never fully understood why i decided logan. i had never been here before, i just felt that i was supposed to be here. there have many times in my 11 years here that i said to myself... "this is why i am in logan".

* i chose to serve a mission. i have said many times that that choice was the best decision (in addition to marrying kevin) i have ever made. the gospel, the people, the love, the friendships.

* the moment i met kevin little. i always wondered if i was really supposed to get married. when i met him in knew i was not only supposed to get married, i was meant to marry him.

i am feeling a little sentimental tonight. gratitude, if you will...

thanks, to each of you, for making a difference to me.

i am forever grateful!

you are my "sweets" this week.
