Top Things I Am Thankful For

Giving that it is Thanksgiving, (ha) I am going to list some of the things I am very most thankful for:

1. Spencer! I sure love him :)
2. My family. They are the greatest. (I learned tonight that my siblings pray for me to "be safe at college" every day.) ((tender!))
3. My parents specifically. I owe them... everything.
4. My In-Laws to be. Thank you for raising the man of my dreams.
5. For the testimony I have of Christ.
6. That I have been able to obtain an education. (and am still going)
7. For the love and support of so many friends and extended family members.
8. My awesome student-friendly job. (Thank you Kevin!)
9. Music. I read somewhere that "music is what emotions sound like".
10. .......did I mention Spencer? :)

Loving My Classic Smooth Jazz

For my wedding reception, I have been looking for good old classic jazz music. Like Michael Buble (number one!), Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., Nat King Cole and the like. Isaac suggested I check out some Mel Torme too. So... I took a trip to the Marriott Library to find as much of this music as I could. Well guess what. I found tons! It sure took a while, because apparently no one looks for this music on a regular basis, but I got it. Actually, I found 5 cds of Frank Sinatra (between all there are 6 song duplicates), 1 Nat King Cole, 1 Harry Connick (that I liked), 1 Dean Martin (that I liked), and 6 Mel Torme cds to go through. So I think I will have plenty of music for my reception. It will be awesome.

Here is the type of stuff I'm looking at:


Totally classy! :) Love it!
