Thanks Continued....

Of course, the list of thanks in my last post was not intended to be all inclusive. There are so many people that have done so much for me that I could spend days listing them and still not be able to list them all. I'm sure that there are people that I don't even know have helped me in some way.

That being said there are some specific people that I realized I had forgotten the first five minutes after my last post. Here they are...

Mrs. Wilkins- Thanks teaching me to enjoy learning. Your 7th and 8th grade classes taught me that learning and school can be fun. Thanks for always encouraging me and only expecting the best from me. You always said that I could do whatever I set my mind to.

Pam and Gary- Thanks for being the best in-laws a person could ever ask for. You have been way too good to me and Ashley and the girls, and we only wish we could somehow repay you. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to join your family and feel loved and accepted. Thanks to Gary for bringing me under your wing and allowing me to work with you over the past year. I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience.

My patients at CNS- Thanks for helping me learn compassion and empathy. I enjoyed working with each of you and look forward to meeting you on the other side and getting to know the real you.

Bishop Shipley- Thanks for giving me many opportunities to lead. I learned a lot from your example of leadership. You were great at combining friendship and leadership and anyone that has been in ward would say the same. Thanks for preparing me spiritually for the future.

The list could go on, but I will stop here. I know that not very many people actually read this blog, but if for some reason I left you out, please know that I am thankful for you, as well. I've been blessed by others far more than I deserve and now I hope that I can repay you all in some way.
