The People I'm Most Thankful For

My Dad - He has always been so supportive of me and taught me to never quit.  He reminds me to enjoy life and go out and make memories.  I am so thankful for his strong testimony of the gospel and that he holds the priesthood.  I am so grateful for the way he loves and treats my mom (even if sometimes we joke around and tease her), but I know he truly loves her and that has been the biggest example to me of what I want in my future family.  He has given me so much and I don't think I will ever be able to repay him.

My Mom - She is my biggest role model.  I do not know where I would be without her.  She is always so encouraging and willing to listen.  Even though I tell her she needs to stop worrying so much, I am glad she does, because it shows how much she cares.  I am so grateful that I have such a good relationship with her and that we don't fight.  I will always be her little shadow and I hope she knows how much I love and appreciate her for all she does for me.  We have so many good memories together that I will never forget.

My Brother Colby - I can always count on Colby to put a smile on my face.  More often than not he is the one that brightens my day when I am having a rough time.  He is always doing those small and simple things to show he cares, and they make the biggest difference.  I always enjoyed partying with him at home, whether it was cod/homework parties, slurpee runs, or blasting music.  His surprises whether it was for my birthday, or just french toast in bed on saturday mornings were always the best.  Still his phone calls and texts just to check up on me are what keep me going throughout the day.  He is someone I know that is truly there for me.

My Brother Ryan - Ryan is my hero.  Literally.  He saved my life when I was four years old.  But more than that I really look up to him as one of my biggest examples.  He is always encouraging me to do the right thing and I appreciate that.  I also appreciate him putting up with me and all he has done for me.  Letting me use his car while he was on his mission, and then being forced to let me have his spot in the garage when he got back haha. I always get a good laugh around him just because of his quirky funny self.  I miss all of the funny things he used to just walking around the house.  I always enjoy spending time with him and I wish I got to more often.

I don't know what I would do without my family.
Love you all (:
Happy Thanksgiving!
