So today I was late to work, well... not late so much as I forgot about it completely! But luckily I got a phone call reminding me that I had a shift and I was able to get a ride to campus which made it so that I was able to get there in time to help get everything ready and stay on schedule... Also, we got to have Shirley's Rolls (You caterers understand!). I am so thankful for the quick communication and transportation that we have in the world today!

I am grateful for the accessibility Gospel. I am grateful for the knowledge that I don't have to be perfect and I don't have to know everything. The truths of the gospel are shared each Sunday in a way that allows me to learn from others what I need to learn. I am not expected to know everything I can learn as I grow and I can learn in layers. I learn what is important for me at the moment and those ideas can be strengthened over time. I love this church and I am thankful for it in my life.

I love Spring!!! It's one of my favorite seasons along with Fall, Summer, and sometimes Winter (Okay, I love them all!). One of my favorite things about Spring is the morning. This may sound weird but on a good spring morning I wake up feeling like I can do anything and maybe even the urge to go running! I don't know why but there is something special to me about a good spring morning! I'm hoping there are a lot more of those to come this spring...

And... In celebration of May the fourth although I haven't really seen the movies... I think I watched one. Here is one adorable child!

Tonight I went to the wedding of a friend in my ward. Her family lives out of the country and couldn't make it to the wedding so she needed a lot of help getting everything worked out. The members of the ward were so helpful in volunteering their time and talents. I am thankful for my wonderful ward and the opportunities I have to serve others. I am also thankful for the gift of love! I enjoyed tonight watching the newly married couple, as well as the other couples as they danced and talked... I just love love! Cheesy, I know.

By the way... I love this song and they played it at the reception tonight so here it is (Although it is a little depressing)!

I am grateful for videos that always make me laughing... Especially videos from Ellen ;)

I am thankful for dance and the role it plays in my life! My brother had a dance performance tonight (and then we went to eat) and I came home to look at some of my old dance videos... Here are a few of my favorites.

The Samba is always fun... This was taken during class one time.

Here is another taken during a class but this one is a Hawaiian dance.

And here is an amazing cabaret performance...

Today I would like to say how grateful I am for my fingers, specifically my pinky fingers! Yesterday at FHE I jammed my finger (I took some pictures but they are not so great) it swelled up pretty bad and has been quite tender the whole day. Never have I paid much attention to my pinky finger but it is so important in everyday life... It is so awkward trying to grab a pen or pencil to write a note without using my pinky. Typing is also quite a struggle. I have realized today that the pinky finger is important for many reasons and I am so glad that I have two working (usually) pinky fingers along with all the other fingers that help my small-motor skills to function.

If you can'r tell... the one on the right is injured. 

So sad...

 For a little bit of humor...
