Gratitude

Last night I was up late preparing some brownies and made a card for my ladies that I visit teach. I decided to teach gratitude since it was a month of Thanksgiving. I wanted to teach the lesson before we moved and it was my last chance in the Branch. We're sad to leave the deaf branch, especially since we are starting to make new friends and being more involved. And everyone was sad to see us go, they kept questioning if we had to go back to Arizona.  I'm so grateful to have been part of the deaf branch and to have met great people. They have been an example to Kevin and I. I'm grateful that he was called to be the clerk, and it hasn't been long, but I have seen the blessings from accepting the calling.


As I was thinking about what I had read in the recent Ensign, the conference talks, by President Monson. I pondered on how I needed to show/express more gratitude towards our Heavenly Father. President Monson said, "A grateful heart...comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives." I have so much to be grateful for: Kevin, eternal marriage, Kevin's new job starting, having a place to stay, transportation, family and my new family, friends, education, and so much more.  One of the sisters in the Branch mentioned how we shoudn't dwell on the negativity and focus on the postives things, and that remind us of the things that we do have.

What do we have to lose...5 MILLION DOLLARS?

The last two weeks Dave, Mike, and Kevin decided to wait last minute to do the Dorito Commercial. The last day you could submit a video is the 15th. They prepared a storyline and Kevin and I went searching for costumes and props. It came down to it- the last weekend and it was all about the Dorito Commercial. 

Renette, Summer, and I went to Salt Lake last Friday afternoon to get a video camera. We had complications throughout the whole weekend! Finally on Sunday (the last day we could film), they shot some footages with a whole new storyline. It was good, but I had hard time picturing the footages together. So today, Kevin and Dave were working on the computer to put all the footages together. It's turning out great, I'm excited about it and excited for them. It would be AWESOME if we won!

Modern Family

For those who don't know what Modern Family is, it's a TV show. Its awkwardly hilarious. Kevin had seen a a couple of them and I was intrigued because his family would all of sudden just burst with laughter. Today, Kevin & I watched some episodes and by the end of one of the episodes, Kevin was LAUGHING his head off til he had tears rolling down his face. You don't see him do this very often, and when he does, it's contagious. I always end up laughing more because of him. You know what they say, "Laughter is the best medicine."
