It’s that time of year again. The time where we decide to talk about the things we are thankful for and eat a whole lot of food. Sounds like a good holiday to me. So in honor of Thanksgiving I’m going to lay down the things I’m thankful for.
1. My Family
This is my immediate family, but this also includes my extended family. I am so thankful that I was born a Tippetts and no matter how unconventional my immediate family, they have all blessed my life in every way possible. My family is the place I know I can come and receive unconditional love.
2. Speaking of family...Tippetts Family thanksgiving
I have never encountered someone who wasn't jealous of my family's Thanksgiving. It is a huge family reunion, full with tons of delicious foods and desserts. We always have some kind of game and play houses. The play houses are then turned into cages of death once the older boy cousins get a hold of them...although I think they are getting a little old for that ;). My family is so funny. I'm also thankful for this because I've never had a super stressful thanksgiving. I hear of mothers who are in the kitchen for hours and hours thanksgiving morning making all the fixings. We are in charge of one thing and a dessert, so it makes it so much easier. Also it is a cardinal sin in our family to miss Thanksgiving (cough cough, you know who you are)
3. What thankful list would be complete without THE GOSPEL

How could I not feel thankful for something that makes me who I am and gives me hope. I know its true.
4. Moments like this...
5. My bbbbbbody
first off I don't know why this picture exists, but it does, and I find it humorous. My body rocks, its vacant from disease. It is healthy. It does work. I love it.
6. Filtered water.
no picture...I just like it a lot.
7. Friends (my friends..)
Something I have come to terms with lately is that friends always come into your life for a reason, but sometimes they only come for a season. I have met amazing people all through out my life. The life lessons they taught me will forever be a part of me, even if we don't keep in touch (p.s. there are sooo many of my closest friends not in these pictures)
8.my mission call to Ventura California.
I got everything I wanted in a mission. Spanish, perfect weather, the beach, and there is even an island in my mission. I cannot wait to serve.
9. For the summer I lived in Provo
I got to live with these lovely ladies. We laughed so much, we talked a lot, consumed a lot of cokes, went to mcdonalds all the time, ate out a lot, and found true friends in each other.
This picture is kinda awful, but I love it. I got to kick it with heffay all summer. It was a blasty blast.
I made the best of friends at the pool. I miss them dearly.
10. Topless drives with Rita
Nothing is more freeing than this. Well I can think of one thing....
11. My season pass to Disneyland.
This year I got to spend a lot of time at Disneyland. I made so many fun memories with my family . My cousins Brianna and Jeff (and their parents) had season passes as well. I couldn't and wouldn't replace any of the memories we got to share their. As cliche as it is, Disneyland is one of my very favorite places in the whole world.
I have a million more things to be thankful for. Like soccer, my ability to scare people, more individual people, but these are some huge things that I am so glad I had this year. I am so incredibly blessed there isn't enough room on the internet for me to express it all.
