I Am Thankful For:
Modern Technology
10 years ago I was hand writing letters to friends just to keep in touch! And yes, hand written letters are much more personal than an e-mail because you put a lot more effort into it but when letters were the only communication? Long distance call rates were still a little pricey so that wasn't much of an option either. I really do appreciate modern technology, Facebook has put me in touch with people I haven't seen or spoken to in YEARS, e-mails make communication for even CHURCH much easier, I can get a hold of just about anyone through e-mail. And my goodness, CELL PHONES! Hello! They have come a long way since I got my first phone at 16! I didn't get a phone that could text until I was 17, and listen up TEENS, I paid for my own phone from the get go. If I wanted one, I paid for it. So I've been texting for 7 years!
Are there downfalls from having so much technology? Of course, there are always pros and cons to just about anything. We should always be cautious and safe. Don't put out personal information if you don't want it abused. Stay safe and keep away from nosy people! Hehe.

The Temple

The Temple
I love going to the Temple. One of my favorite Primary songs is "I Love to See The Temple". It always has been, even since I was in Primary! I'm grateful that we live so close to the Temple here in Colorado. When I lived in Montana, it was a 5 hour trip, either way, to get to a Temple. We had a few options but still had to travel far. Idaho Falls, a Temple in Canada (can't remember which one???) and Billings. All were 5 hours away. BUMMER! I even love visiting the book store. It's just so peaceful and comforting to go. Even walking the grounds of the Temple is comforting.
