Grateful

After President Monson's talk during General Conference, I've been grateful. 
I'm Grateful For...
...warmth. From a blanket or from the sun or from modern day electricity.
...education. Sure, I complained just a little bit about my midterms this week, but I really am grateful for the great education I've been receiving from London, BYU, and my parents.
...books.  Read The Book Thief and you too will realize how precious books are. Plus, I'm an English major, so naturally I am enamored with books.
...parents. They just rock. I've been sitting here for a bit and I just don't know where to start. They just rock.

I got to go to the Peterson's house for Sunday Conference. We ate lots and lots of great food, had jam sessions on the piano, played games, hot tubbed, talked.  It was nice to get away from Provo for a day.
I've also been inspired by multiple things this past week.
1. General Conference.  Since this semester has been really busy, it kind of snuck up on me. When I realized the week of that Conference was going to happen soon, I got really excited.  I love Conference.
2. http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/  =Proof on how love can help you survive.
3. My Grandma Ericksen=I've learned so many new things about her recently that I just admire about her. She's travelled to so many places and has seen so many things, yet you would never know.  I know because I snooped in her photo albums :)
