I Am Thankful For...

People
There are so many people in my life who have helped me to become who I am today and who are great examples to me. I love being able to come home and visit my home ward so that I can see some of these people.

Parents- Of course I need to mention my mom and dad. Without them I would be totally lost! They are great examples and have been so loving and patient throughout my whole life. I am grateful for their sacrifices, love, advice, and all the fun times we've had! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Sister Pickup- She was my laurel adviser and as always been a great example to me. She is always concerned about others and one of the greatest examples of service to me. She is strong and faithful. Even now she still affects me life and I love being able to visit her. Sister Pickup gives some of the best hugs! I will be forever grateful for everything that she has done for me.

Sister Plummer- She was first my primary teacher and then later my laurel advisor after Sister Pickup. She is an example to me of believing in yourself. Her tag phrases "You have got it going on!" and "You are one HOT dog!" Will never leave me! During one of the most trying times of my life her testimony and love helped me to endure.

Mrs. Town- She was my high school English teacher for all 4 years. And my freshman year when Hockinson was just starting out she was my Drama, child development, and English teacher! Without her guidance I probably would've died writing my first college paper. But because Mrs. Town pushed and stretched me writing papers in college has been a piece of cake! Her love of learning and reading really showed and made me enthusiastic to learn also.

Sister Koenig- She is an example of faith, courage, and strength. I have watched her continue living when I would've given up. Her smile and spunk makes me happy every time I see her! She is the mother of 3 boys which I am sure isn't easy! I just love her!

Bishop Hadry- He has been my bishop for the last 2 years or so. He is an example to me of service and loving everyone! He has so many friends and it is because he truly loves people and has a desire to know them and help them. And he has always been willing to help me at school. I am grateful for his sacrifices and for his family's sacrifice. They are truly amazing people.

There are many people in my life who are examples to me and have helped me a long. But these are the few that come to mind right now and who I will be forever grateful for! I am so grateful for the people that the Lord has placed in my path.
