Thankful Turkey :)

This is our Chinese Thankful Turkey :) For family home evening we made a feather each for our turkey with a list of things we are grateful for! I just want to let everyone know how grateful I am for everything. My list included things from carpet to spaghettiO's and my family to Heavenly Father. I am so thankful to be here in China, so so thankful. I've grown and learn so much out here that I know I couldn't anywhere else. I've made friendships with people I will cherish forever and I've grown such a love of this world. I am thankful for my family. They are number one in my life and everything to me. My sisters are my best friends and my brothers are my best buds in the world :) I would chose to spend a day with them rather than anything else! I am so thankful you all love me even though I'm crazy and odd! :) I'm grateful for you Dad and Mom for helping me with this trip, for helping me with school, helping me achieve everything I've needed help achieveing! I couldn't be half the person I am today without your love! I have the best parents in the world. I'm grateful for everyone whose helped me along and come here! Grandpa and Grandma Carter, David and his wonderful family, My cousins, Aunts and Uncles, Nikki :), Charlie and his amazing family, Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen, the AMAZING Syracuse 1st Ward and the Relief Society, the list goes on!! I am thankful for smiles, there is nothing, nothing more beautiful to me in this world than seeing a smile. I'm grateful for laughter :) Nothing cures, or heals, or makes things more happier than laughing :) I'm grateful for my testimony and my Heavenly Father! This Thanksgiving is going to be amazing. I won't have much to eat, but I am spending my day counting the blessings I have in my life! Which are in the millions! Make yourself a Thankful Turkey before the holiday and know I love you!!
