A second interview

Today I had a second interview for a new position at work. It seemed to go pretty well. I'm thankful for the opportunity I've had to be considered for this job.

My vote

I'm probably one of the least political people on the planet, but I'm still thankful that I live in a country where I have a vote. And tomorrow I will be thankful that the election is over!!

The sunrise

I don't like daylight savings time. I absolutely hate driving home from work in the dark. But, I am thankful that for the next little while it will be light while I drive to work. And I'm thankful that I still have a few weeks before it's pitch black on my way to work and my way home from work!

Teacher improvement class

I've had the awesome opportunity to attend teacher improvement classes. The classes were held on Sunday's before church. Sister Davies taught the lessons (her husband is one of the counselors in our bishopric). I am so grateful for the time I've been able to spend with the other teachers in my ward. I'm thankful for Sister Davies and the way she teaches. I'm especially thankful for the spirit we had at our lesson today. I'm so sad today was the last lesson! I will miss having that opportunity to learn and grow every week!

No snow

I was in charge of a race this morning - The Turkey Trot 5K! It was a fabulous race. As always, there were a few minor hiccups, but nothing major. I am so, so, so, SO thankful that it didn't snow on race day this year! Last year we had a little blizzard and it was beyond miserable! Luckily, today was perfect (albeit a little chilly)! The race started at 9:00am. I fired the starting gun right on time and at that moment, the sun finally peaked over the mountains. It was awesome. I'm thankful for my awesome race crew and all the runners who came out today to participate!

Eternal families

I've been missing my dad A LOT lately! I applied and interviewed for a new position at work. I rocked the first interview and today I was scheduled for a second interview. I'm pumped! And I really, really wish there was a way that I could have a conversation with my dad. I know he would be so proud of me! But I'm selfish and just knowing that isn't enough. I want to hear him say it. I want to hear his advice about how to rock the second interview. And I want him to tell me everything I need to know about potentially accepting a new position.
I know that's just not possible. Not right now. But there is definitely a comforting in knowing that my family is eternal. I'm thankful that someday we will all be reunited. And I really hope that when that comes, I will be able to hear my dad tell me that he is proud of me!

Parachutes

Remember when we were in elementary school and we got to play with parachutes sometimes in PE? Well I got to play with parachutes today at school - in a masters level class. It was awesome. I'm thankful for fun activities during boring classes!!
