Anyway, we ate our delicious meal and came back home. We made it in time for 'The Hills' Finale. I have watched some of those stars since they were on the cast of Laguna Beach. I would say I have pretty much watched The Hills show religiously since it began [one of my guilty pleasures] and I was sad to see it end! And for those of you who watch it as well, what was up with the ending?!
As I've watched the show throughout the years, though, I have caught myself numerous times thinking how wonderful and amazing it would be to live like they do [in a wordly way of course] minus the drama. They live in beautiful houses in Hollywood and have tons of money to travel to exotic places and they never have to wear the same outfit twice! Things like that...but I know that all of their lives aren't glamorous all of the time, don't get me wrong. They just are most of the time, haha. But then last night after my visit to the Forum Shops and the season finale of The Hills I was looking at a folder that I have on my computer of cute quotes and sayings that I save and I found this one that I stumbled upon one day while reading different blogs...
It definitely hit me and I felt so ashamed that my thoughts during the day were so devoted to what I wish I had. I couldn't believe how ungrateful I was being. I have so much! I wouldn't have my life any other way. I have so many things to be thankful for. I have a house, I have a car, I have food to eat [heck, I went to the Cheesecake Factory], I have a job, I am able to receive an education, I live in a free country, I am healthy, I have family and friends who I love and they love me for me, I have the true Gospel in my life and it brings me peace and comfort when nothing else can. I am so happy with my life and all of the blessings I have. I am so blessed and so are you.
So with that being said, I am going to list 5 things I am grateful for everday for a week starting tomorrow. Whether they are small and simple things or big and miraculous, I am going to list five different things I am especially grateful for on that particular day. Feel free to join me! I would love to see what your lists look like.

I watched the aftershow and they said they did the ending like that because it's up to you to decide whether if all of the drama was real or fake. It's been questioned if it is or not. I also love the Hills. I was fantasizing that the other day when I went to just stores in the mall like Buckle and wanting to buy all the pairs of Rock Revivals there and how much I wish I just had money to blow.
That's an AMAZING picture. It does really make you think. I might have to join you in this 5 things your grateful for thing. Sometimes (or most of the time) I take a lot of that for granted. Thanks for the idea :)You're awesome!
oh i needed this post. i too have followed the hills and the ending made me question "what the crap?" but then the after show {like what stefaniejinell said} pointed out the ending was set up like that for you to question what was real and what wasn't. makes you think?!
but alas same with you i wish and fantasize about expensive things and how it would be nice to be able to not care about money...until i read that quote. now i feel selfish and guilty. i am lucky to be where i am in life. i have nice things and extra money so i should be happy and i am! thanks for the post :)

I too watched the after show, haha. I must have space out on that part or something! That was quite the way to end it, then. I really have always wondered about the show, especially since Kristin has been on the show. Thanks for filling me in girls!
Jamie....I have watched those girls since Laguna Beach too! I don't tell many people, haha! But I LOVE it! The ending was awesome I think. I've always thought the show was "half fake." There is no way they can tell the story of their lives in 20 minutes once a week...so they just get as much as they can and fabricate a story.
I've been the opposite, every time I watched it I was like, ugh I am so glad I am not those girls! DRAMA! However...the shoes wouldn't be so bad :)
Haha, yeah minus the drama, that's for sure! I need to include that. Yeah, I have loved that show whether or not I have thought it may be set up and what not. It made for good entertainment!
I haven't seen you forever I feel like! How have you been?
