Thankfuls: Day 5

1. Religion/Faith: I am very thankful to have a testimony of my Saviour, Jesus Christ. I can't imagine how hopeless and lonely life would be without the knowledge and faith I have in Christ. I know that He loves me, knows me and died for me. I am grateful to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am thankful that in all of our moves and the different wards we have been in the gospel stays the same. I am thankful for the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I am thankful for a living prophet and the opportunity I have to hear him speak. I am thankful for the priesthood and for temples. The list goes on and on and I am thankful for that too!

2. Barefoot shoes: (Now I am not talking about the five toed shoes. I have never tried them and I think they are ugly.) I am thankful for my barefoot shoes. They are very comfortable and feel great to run in. Also I trip a lot less! When I sprained my ankle a year ago I had a hard time getting it to heal if I wore my regular tennis shoes. I would always trip or catch my foot on something and re injure my ankle. With my barefoot shoes I feel more stable.

3. Electric toothbrush: Once you get an electric toothbrush it is hard to go back to a regular one. I am thankful for how much easier it is to brush my teeth and how much cleaner they feel.

4. Costco: I love Costco and I am thankful that I have one close enough to shop at. (It is an hour away but that is close enough for a monthly trip.) I get my dog food at Costco. I discovered Flat out wrap and Zipfizz at Costco. I got my pans that I love at Costco. I can get Tillamook cheese at Costco. Not everything is cheaper there but for the most part we have found really good deals at Costco.

5. Plug-in cooler: Since Costco is an hour away and I get cheese and meat there, no trip would be complete without my plug-in cooler. Also it comes in handy on long road trips.

6. Magic Bullet: I laugh at the infomercial when the lady said she used it so much she keeps it on the counter but.... mine is on the counter because I use it almost everyday. Meric and I do a lot of protein shakes and the Magic Bullet makes it quick and easy.

7. Right turn lights: I had never seen this until I moved to NC, but I love right turn lights. It is nice to have the light turn green and not have to stop and check.

8. Bluebell ice cream: By far the best ice cream ever!

9. Nail polish: I am thankful for nail polish because it is a subtle way for me to express myself. From black to pink to tye-dyed to sparkles I can express my mood.

10. Water bottles: I am thankful for water bottle because they are so handy. Also they are a must have if camping or back packing.
