An Attitude Of Gratitude!

I seem to always be on my blog during the summers, mostly reading other posts or finding cute layouts for my own. Today I was looking at my blog and was wondering how I could make it cuter, and I notice my little button, or whatever you call it, which says An Attitude of Gratitude. I started thinking how that is such a great quote. It made me start to think how if we aren't grateful and have an attitude of gratitude, we really don't accomplish much. if we are not grateful we can never move forward in life and we will never enjoy it either. After thinking about that, I started thinking about all I was grateful for, I of course thought of my family, my husband, my testimony, the Internet so I can keep up with the world, and so many things. with these new thoughts I started thinking, everyday that I get on my blog I should update what we are up to and what we are grateful for that day. I feel that this will be a great goal and task for Chad and I. I know when I am actively acknowledging what I am grateful for, I will be a more positive person. So today I am going to start this goal. Today I am so grateful for music, I know its not a very big thing to be grateful for, but if I didn't have music in my life, I really do believe I would be a different person. There have been so many songs that have changed my life. Music lifts my spirits, it can heal my heart, and even answer questions that I'm longing to know. Music is one way that I have learned about my savior and his eternal love for me. There has been so many times where my testimony has been strengthened by the words in a song or by the melodic rhythm. So in ending this post I want to thank my Heavenly father for putting beautiful music on this earth, I am truly grateful for it.

Amarillo & Cadillac Ranch

It's been a while since my last blog so I have some catching up to do. Chad and I are In Amarillo this summer selling alarms for Vivint. They are a great company and we have a great manager to work under. I am doing the OA job here with another girl who is way nice and was very patient with me while I was learning the new system. I'm not going to lie, being as OA for Vivint is great and a lot easier too. So we are in Amarillo which is the third windiest city in the United States! To my shock it beat out Chicago, which I thought was suppose to be pretty windy since its called the windy city. It is so flat here! in Houston you couldn't really notice how flat it really is because of all the trees, but here there is no trees but dirt, cows, and cow dung. Haha it really isn't that bad, but if the wind blows from the directions of the cows the whole city smells of cow dung. So this last weekend I was able to meet the rest of the wives out here and they are all really nice and seem to be a very fun group. For an activity we went to the Cadillac Ranch which is pretty famous out here. when we arrived to it I was a little bit shocked because I was thinking it was going to be a field full of hundreds of cars. I was right about the field, but for the count I was way off, there were only 10 cars. I was a little disappointed at first but when we got closer and saw that they had all been spray painted on and we could do the same, I got really excited. of course I put my initials on one of the cars and a big U for the University of Utah. the rest of the girls wrote things and it turned out to be pretty fun. So far Chad and I are having a blast and i'm hoping that since we are living in tornado ally that doesn't mean we get any tornados this summer, so I will be praying every night for no tornados this summer.
