So Blessed....So, So Thankful

ALL OF THE SUDDEN...it was November. I swear last time I checked the calendar it was March. Where did the summer go? I am pretty sure, unlike most people, I am actually happy to see the summer end. Peace out summer...HELLO Fall!! I LOVE fall and winter! SO..with Thanksgiving being a couple weeks away I have found my thoughts turning to that of gratitude. I am so blessed.
Here are a few things I am so ridiculously grateful for....
My Family Cancun. Yes, I am in a sling. Yes, my family got to go snorkeling...and No. I did not go. I did however get to sit on the boat, get a fabulous one armed suntan and read my vampire book :).
(Yes, I have hot brothers. No, the small guy in front is not my brother)

Brooke's Graduation


Santa Cruz



My JOB
I feel so lucky to have a job I LOVE. It takes me back and forth from California to Utah..keeping me busy! I look forward to going to work and miss it when I am not doing it.

You know how some people are beach people and some people are mountain people? Well..I am a mountain person. There is not a day that goes by where I do not marvel at the scenery around me . I feel so grateful to be surrounded by such beauty. The above picture is where I spend some of my free time.
LOVE IT.


The list goes on and on....my faith, a vehicle to get me from A to B, AMAZING friends, Starbucks, peanut butter, pumpkin pancakes, running, sunrises, sunsets....


But lately I have been focused on this blessing....
Eternal Families.

This holiday season will be spent without two very important people in my life. My Grandpa Zollinger and my Aunt Amy.
In January we lost my Grandpa Z and in March we lost my Aunt Amy. The above picture is Amy's kids (minus Shelby). It will be bitter sweet. It comforts me to know they are in a better place, but my heart breaks for these children as they live life without their mother. How grateful I am to know that we will be reunited with the ones we have lost. That Families ARE Forever.
I love and miss you Grandpa and Amy.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
May you look around and see how truly blessed your life really is.
