Now I Know My ABC's

I know you all have exciting Thanksgiving activities to get started with, so I'll keep this brief (even though I have a bajillion and five things to show gratitude towards). Here's an A-Z list of things I'm thankful for:

A - America's Next Top Model. You may say it's a dumb, unrealistic show, but I love that these regular girls are turned into something beautiful and confident
B - Burt's Bees. I had trouble finding it out here at first, but the products really help me feel good about myself
C - Crystal, my best friend in Utah. She was my roomie over the summer, and I love her to pieces
D - Daniel, my other half. He completes me like no one else ever has or will and I love him more than I thought possible (sorry for the sappiness!)
E - Being eco-friendly. I love saving the earth one water bottle at a time!
F - Facebook. I'm serious! How else would you be able to stay in touch and see pictures and send cute bumper stickers to your friends?!
G - Group 9, my FHE family! I'm the Mom of my group, and I love how well we get along and have fun together
H - My hearing. My ASL class makes me more and more grateful I have the ability to hear and communicate as easily as I do
I - Ice cream. Specifically, cookie dough ice cream from the Creamery. It is amazing in every way possible
J - Jimmy Eat World. Probably tied with Mae as my favorite band ever, I wish they would hurry up and play in Utah soon!
K - The kitchen. It's the best room in the apartment, and most of the conversing takes places there. And it's where the food is too, which is also great!
L - Late nights. Whether I'm watching a movie or having a pow-wow with the girls or eating, the best memories are usually made at 2am
M - Music. I've relied a lot on it since I've been here, my favorite bands have definitely kept me sane during some rough patches
N - Naps. It's great how I can just crash for a few hours and wake up completely refreshed
O - The Office, my comic relief of the week!
P - Pictures. Each one tells a different story and I'm glad this semester has been documented so well
Q - Our quote wall/quirk board. Chances are, you've said something that's made it on there
R - Ruggles, my laptop (yes, I named my laptop). He is my access to everything, I would be so bored without him!
S - Skype. I don't know how I could survive without it, it's an amazing program!
T - The temple. It is an amazing place of comfort and joy and peace, I love having one so close!
U - USPS, so I can send and receive mail from friends and loved ones who don't live around here
V - Vladimir, the minivan (yes, I named the car too!). I love driving and jamming to good music and being able to go places when I want to
W - Wilmington, my home. Being away has made me appreciate North Carolina so much more, and I can't wait to see my family again!
X - X-ray vision. If I had it, that is...
Y - The Yankey's, my family. They have been such a big support in my life despite the fact that I'm so far away from them, I love them more each day!
Z - Zany roommates. They are so much fun and I love them all!

Quite awesome names for your possessions! Naps are also quite literally the best thing after a Monday full of classes.
