well, i was supposed to write this up and post it a long time ago, but as it turns out i am in college and constantly busy! but, here it is! better late than never i always say! starting about 3 weeks before our thanksgiving break everyone starts asking everyone else what they are doing for thanksgiving. this semester i was staying in rexburg, because i am too poor to go home, and so was not sure what i was going to do for thanksgiving. once i told people this news i started getting offers all over the place of people i could stay with and things i could do. it was nice. it made me feel loved. i had a ton of offers to go to people in idaho falls' houses. offers from people in rexburg to have thanksgiving dinner with them. even a few offers from people to take me with them to utah, oregon, and washington. all in all, i had about a million options of things that i could do for thanksgiving day to choose from. as thanksgiving kept getting closer and closer people kept asking me what i was doing and i'd tell them i had options but hadn't decided yet. the more and more i thought about what i wanted to do i realized, nothing. i didn't want to do any of the things that had been offered to me. i wanted, more than all those things, to spend thanksgiving day, all alone, in my apartment. i know that this may sound depressing, but look at it from my view. i live in an apartment with 5 other girls. from the start of the semester to the end of the semester i never have a moment to myself. there is always someone around, always something to be doing. i wanted a day, where it was just me, in a quiet house, doing the things i wanted to do. so, that's what i did. it was fantastic and wonderful! i really did love it. i am naturally a very private person, i like quiet time, i like not having to talk to people constantly. i mean, i do enjoy people, and i love my roommates, and i love that i get to live with them. if i lived all alone all semester i would be completely bored! but, it was still nice to have a day with just me in my apartment. i made myself a delicious thanksgiving meal, i wasn't about to miss out on that part of the day! i had lemon pepper chicken, twice baked potato casserole, macaroni and cheese, steamed broccoli, rosemary bread with laughing cow cheese, and pumpkin pie for dessert. it was super delicious! my favorite was the twice baked potato casserole, it is definitely one of my favorite things, it isn't really a casserole, but thats just what i call it!

scripture of the day:
D&C 59:7 Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things.
today i am thankful for:
* quiet time.
* having so many people who care about and love me.
* roommates and friends that i always have fun with!
* my family!!
* the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
* no snow! it's only snowed 4 times this semester so far, it is fantastic!
