Lucky

So this morning I was doing the dishes and jamming out to my country music when Montgomery Gentry's song "Lucky Man" came on. If you have never heard this song you should go look it up because it is a classic. But the words to the song started to get me thinking about how lucky I am today! I know most people always do a blog post about what they are thankful for around Thanksgiving time, but today I am felling positive and wanted to share why I am so lucky and count my blessings.

~Why I am lucky

* I have the gospel and the knowledge that my family can be together forever
* My two best friends are serving the Lord and are being great examples to me
* Although I have struggled to make money this summer, I have had the opportunity to strengthen my interviewing skills
