101-122

Everyday I am just so full of gratitude. I am so blessed, so many wonderful things happen daily that I can't even express how much I love life. I use to write a lot more poems than I do now... which is a good thing mostly because it means my life is better. I use to write dark, depressive, and all my feelings of sorrow.
I remember in one of my poems I talked about if life will ever be different. If it will ever be good. that people always say that life gets better, but they had said it for far to long for me to believe. But I guess believing it doesn't mean it can't still happen. Because it happened to me.
I never thought my life would be this good, I never knew my life could be this good. Although I still have my ups and downs but my life is 360 degree different than it used to be. Maybe its  good thing that I went through what I did in order to love life as much as I do know.
Anyways, on to the last 22 days of tender mercies, grateful things that have happened and blessings.

101- I didn't know how Gary and I were going to make it to Las Vegas Airport without spending a bundle with our few different options. The night before Glen and Janae found us a FREE ride down. WONDERFUL!
102- We all made it on standby to San Fran
103- The 12 hour airplane ride to china wasn't as difficult as Gary or I both thought.
104- A very nice man in China helped us find Annies- A restaurant we were trying to find.
105- Although the time difference often had me awake at 3 or 4 in the morning I still had the energy to go on all day tours and have  great time.
106- We had an amazing hotel to stay in- probably the nicest I have ever been in. This is something Gary was nervous about because we just set up this trip that everything was already set with whatever ChinaSpree gave us.
107- The hotel had a free breakfast that was the best free breakfast I have ever had. It was a buffet with many things, cereal, juices, omelets, fried eggs, boiled eggs, french toast, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, breads, other pastries, some asian things I sometimes liked and sometimes didn't. They also had some funky things there for breakfast: salad, wings-cooked differently(some good, some not) and of course Oreo's.
108- I had the energy and motivation to go all the way with Lisa, Rhett, Darren and Gary to the top of the highest point at the great wall. It as so worth it and amazing.
109- Even though Flying back home from san fran didn't look good we all made it to our homes that night.
110- After a 24 hour trip home to St george I slept for the longest I have ever slept (other than being a baby) -12 full hours!
111- I have remembered odd assignments even over spring break that was due and got them all done before they were late.
112- I have Mags to help out in this hard and time consuming class
113- Gary has been very complimentary of me and it makes me feel very good
114- Financially even though things have been tighter than normal we have been able to still have everything work out! (Tithing works)
115- Gary has gotten excited about having a baby! We are getting closer to the time and I have continually gotten more comforted about having a child and my ability.
116- Although Grandpa Brunson had passed I was able to make it up there and my classes were very understanding.
117- I had a big part of my thesis due the week of grandpa's passing. I emailed my teacher and she said not to worry about it and we will focus more next week.
118-We didn't run out of gas when we kept riding on it on empty
119-I have been able to work alone the past 2 shifts- I absolutely love this. I am so much more of a single worker over groups. Its been good since I have been stressed lately and it brings calmness to my craziness.
120- The green lights helped me get to class on time! (and a few times to work)
121- In china I was able to get a few things for myself when usually I have more of a difficult time spending money on me
122- At the silk market for the 3rd or 4th time not planning on looking at all we ended up finding the coat gary really liked that we tried to re-find the previous time there for a long time and couldn;t. SO gary actually got something that he really wanted as well.
