What I love.

(I don't post this to insult any of my friends, I just found it funny.)

Although I'm not one to post something I'm grateful for on Facebook every day in the month of November, today I had several random thoughts about things I love in my life:

Sunny November days

Gas station hot chocolate 

Laughing at Spencer and Chloe's ridiculous relationship (see here) 

Late night trips to Sonic (fat.)
Clean laundry

Writing intriguing news stories (stay tuned for a good one this week) 

Listening to Clair De Lune

New Girl
The recent discovery of We Bought a Zoo

Fruit loops (again, fat) 

The discovery of this song.

And lastly...

I'm thankful that I randomly ran into my good friend Patti Sadler today. She goes into the MTC TOMORROW and just happened to be on campus for a little bit. I was walking to the newsroom when she and I crossed paths at the perfect moment. I don't doubt that there was divine intervention in our running into each other. I had just been thinking that I was sad I never got to say goodbye, and then there she was. It was perfect. 

So thank you, Heavenly Father, for the simple delights that you put in my life daily.
I promise that they do not go un-pondered by this girl.
