Thankful Thursday.

Jared and I have been talking a lot today about how Heavenly Father has blessed us lately. For example: he had 2 finals that were both supposed to be on Saturday. Then one got rescheduled to a different time so they were at the exact same time. He emailed his teacher and it has been rescheduled for Monday so he only has one final every day from here out. 

Me-I finally got medicine today!

So as we were making milkshakes tonight I remembered Jared telling me about the "Gratitude Challenge" that he was given in Priesthood a while back we have been meaning to do. So we figured now would be a great time!
