Thanksgiving!

What a great Thanksgiving!  It turned out surprisingly well.  The food was beyond delicious, the company was excellent, morale was high.  I love the holidays.

This week I've been especially thankful for the scriptures and for prayer.  This year has been really rough, and a lot has happened.  I admit that I've gone in and out of phases of relying on the Lord vs. relying on myself.  But I've recently been reminded that the most important relationships I could ever possibly build are the ones with my Lord and with my Savior.  And what's the best way to build a relationship?  By communicating, of course.  That's where prayer comes in.  It's really quite amazing, actually, that we have this direct line to God that we can use whenever we want.  And we can tell Him anything.  He wants to hear all the little things, He wants to know about our day.  That's pretty awesome.

I'm very grateful for wonderful friends who remind me of what's important, and remind me to communicate with the Lord often.  It's easy for me to forget, and to get caught up in the mundane things of life.

On a different, but similar note, yesterday was a little hard.  It was exactly a year ago yesterday that the man I loved proposed to me.  It was a bit surreal to realize that an entire year has passed.  While I believe that we have both moved on, I had a couple minutes of feeling immense sorrow.  And yes, I shed a couple tears.  I don't regret the relationship; I don't regret falling in love.  I hope the best for the both of us.  And I was grateful to feel the comforting arms of the Savior around me while my heart broke just a little in remembrance of something that was good while it lasted.

In other news, the job search continues.  I'm hoping to hear back from some offices now that the holiday has passed.  We'll see what happens...

Much love to all!
