Day 14: Thankful for good FRIENDS

Now I don't have alot of friends, but the few that I do have mean the WORLD to me!! I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to even know their names, but to name them on a personal level is just straight up BLESSINGS.  Indebted to my 2 high school mates that still to this day I can call a close friend.  Thankful for the friends i created while playing volleyball at MCC and going to school there.  and Especially thankful for the friendships that I have gained while living here in Utah.  Thank you THANK YOU THANK you!! You guys have all blessed my life!

Day 13: Thankful for my Aunts and Uncles

My life wouldn't be the same without such GREAT AUNTS AND UNCLES in my life from both my mom's side and my dad's side.  You guys have given me my cousins who are in return some of my best friends! You guys have always been people i look up to and I am thankful to call you guys family! I love ALL of my aunts and uncles.  I am a lucky girl to have so many "moms" and "dads" that are always looking out for me.  Malo Aupito!

Day 12: Thankful for Loving Grandparents

Wow this topic just made me just a little bit emotional, so I'm gonna keep it nice and short.  But I am grateful for all my sets of grandparents and the "rocks" they have been in my life.  When I look back at all the things that I have benefited from them still to this day, I just see and can feel their unconditional love for me.  I am indeed still reaping their blessings as their posterity.  I have been blessed to be born into such ancestry.  Rich Gospel roots were instilled at such a young age that I can feel it portrude even through my own soul and life.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! I love you with all my heart and will strive to be there in the same place as you because I know you guys made it to the tippity top.  I love you and miss you.

Keakalina--- What to say, what to say... well FIRST off this sister is FOR SURE one of my best friends. She is always the one that I care to talk to just to talk to.  She is the one i feel in my "later" years I have become so CLOSE TO its unbelieveable.  She's the one i see MOST things eye to eye on between any of my siblings.. but what i am MOST THANKFUL for when it comes to keaks is that she WITHOUT  a DOUBT loves the hardest.  She loves all of us siblings in ways that NONE of us can comprehend.  She's the quiet ones with her thoughts and her ponderings and for that I am grateful for, and I try to incorporate that into my own daily life.  She truly is the BEST SISTER anyone could ask for.  I'm so happy she's home from her mission now, and I'm able to talk to her whenever I feel like it.. hahahaa She's definitely cray cray #2 sister.. hahahahaah and then i'm cray cray #3.. it goes in order from G to pooh.. hahahahahahahaa  Since her mission what I have been most grateful for is her constant studying and constant yearn for knowledge STILL even after the mission.. very impressive... LOVE HER to KOLOB and back...
