Where do I begin?

So tonight as I write my gratitude post, I am feeling very full and blessed. I have so many things to be thankful for today, and I don't really know where to begin.

I'd like to first say thank you to Jay. I should have included him in yesterday's post and I am very sorry I didn't. Jay found out about my car troubles and stepped in unasked to help. When we first began looking at my car, he thought I had about $1100 worth of work that needed to be done. I said okay, because I had just about that much money saved up just for my car. Then, I went to the dentist. The dentist complimented me on my lovely teeth and then told me he wanted to do about $1000 worth of work on them. I went home in tears, not knowing what to do. The car had to come first, but I was in a lot of pain. I'd only saved up for my car. Jay said not to worry he could help, and he did. Jay was able to do some work himself and the rest he haggled the price down so I only spent about $600 on the car and was able to get my cavity filled. Jay even had my car cleaned inside and out. I thought I'd gotten a brand new car; it looked so great. So now the major work is done on my car and I can focus on my teeth. Jay really took a big load off my shoulders. I can't thank him enough.

The next thing I am thankful for is old friends coming home. My friend Kristi returned this week. I haven't seen her pretty much since the summer after I graduated from high school. I was so excited when I saw her at institute on Thursday night, I wanted to burst. I adore Kristi. She is so fun and out going as well as kind and sincere. I love hanging out with her. I can just completely be myself without any fear of judgement. The best part about Kristi is she can draw me out without even trying. She's such a happy person, I can't help but be happy too. I found myself so relaxed and even sociable today at church. I even ended up at choir and later at a game night with a few of the singles.

I'd like to tell you the other amazing thing that happened to me today, but I can't. I can say I feel so blessed. I got thrown a curve ball today that I never saw coming. But I am so excited about what could happen to me spiritually if I handle this curve ball correctly. Things are already starting to come together and I couldn't be happier. Details will be released next week.
