22 Grateful Things

Who would've thought thinking of 22 things to be grateful for would be a hard thing? I tried to do that this morning for Facebook and came to a dud at about 19. Am I that ungrateful? Or was I tired and couldn't really think? 
I don't know what the reason for it is, but now I have another chance to redeem myself on what I'm grateful for! So for the previous 22 days of November, I will say 22 things I'm grateful for:

1. I'm grateful for being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am proud to be a Mormon and to have this gospel in my life. My Heavenly Father loves me and by choosing the right and following Christ's example, I can return to Him and gain eternal life.

2. My family is the best there could be. We are small in numbers, but we are strong in love! They've been there for me through the thick and thin of life events. 

3. My friends are the next biggest support that I could have. They're such great examples to me and can handle my quirkiness. Always putting a smile on my face and giving me a fun time, I'm so glad I spend time with the people I know. 

4. Though they are my friends, my roommates deserve their own little section of gratitude because they have to live with me! They see the tired cranky part of me and the hyped up crazy side as well. I'm so glad to have three people who can tolerate living with me.

5. So many people are unable to gain a college degree, and yet I'm privileged to attend one of the most prestigious universities! I'm thankful for BYU and the chance to get a degree here and expand my knowledge of a variety of things. 

6. In regards to BYU, I now have an income and a job on campus that works so well with my school schedule. They're willing to accommodate for everything and my manager is the best! After months, years, of job hunting I was able to get one of the best jobs for me.

7. I may not be in the best shape, but I'm grateful to have a working body that is healthy and keeps me alive. I have all five senses functioning; I can walk, I can breathe. Everyday is a blessing to be alive and well.

8. My life would be nothing and nowhere without the amazing power of music. I love it, it's one of my few real passions that I could not live without. No matter what I'm doing, it's always there to set the tone. 

9. Listening to music is always good, but playing it is just as grand. I'm grateful for my piano and violin, to be able to just play away no matter what mood I'm in.

10. We seriously need more of this right now, but I'm thankful for snow and the joy it brings to my life! Without it, there would be no white Christmas, no ski/snowboard season (although we're close to that right now, please pray for it!), and no water! 

11. I don't know why I didn't post this one before most of these, but I'm so so grateful for the men and women who have served, are serving, or are preparing to serve in our country's military forces. I know I could never do it, courage or strength-wise. They are my heroes and I wish them all to be safe and sound. 

12. Because of our troops and their hard dedication all these years, I have the freedom and ability to choose what I want in this country. America holds so much freedom that most countries don't have, and I'm thankful to be a part of it. 

13. I'm thankful for technology. It's advanced our world so much and it's such a tool when used in moderation. It's because of it that I can post this and have the rest of the world see it. I can facetime with my sister though she lives on the other end of the country. It's an ability to communicate and connect with people and share new thoughts and ideas.

14. Books are one of the best things ever. Novels, stories that can take you away and intrigue the mind as you go through the story. I love to read and I'm grateful that I know how to.

15. Movies are also a wonderful thing in life! Most of our entertainment comes from the big screen, and these too will take you away on a crazy adventure. I definitely have no creative mind to be in the movie industry and so I'm thankful for those who are!

16. I'm thankful for my car and if it were a person, I'd love it forever. Oh wait, I still do. Seriously, my car is such a trooper and is my means of transportation in anything I do. It may be a gas eater, but it's tough enough that I'm not scared of anything. 

17. I just drank some water and have to throw it in here. How refreshing is it when you're dehydrated and you drink a nice cool glass of water? Actually, how refreshing is it to drink water whenever? I may love sodas, but nothing comes even close to the wonderful H2O

18. I may be faster at typing than writing, but nothing compares to writing. It has a power that typing can't fulfill. To have a clean sheet of paper and a pencil or pen in hand, you have the power to create something that could go anywhere. You write as the thoughts flow. Through drawing in there, too. I'm grateful for paper and writing tools.

19. I'm thankful for toys. Any kind. They're all so fun and can keep you occupied for a time. I'm especially thankful for my camera and the ability to take pictures. And edit them. It's a great hobby of mine and I love doing it. It lets me view the world at different angles and show them to others. 

20. The number one thing I love to photograph is nature. I'm grateful to live in Utah where there is a variety of different scenes I can capture. No matter the season, Utah is always so beautiful and I'm grateful I can surround myself with it everyday. 

21. I'm thankful for the stars; for astronomy and the cosmos. It's always going to be a mystery and wonder to us humans, and it's a whole other dimension out there. I love seeing the stars, the constellations, and everything else out in the sky and being in such awe. The cosmos are a wonderful way to humble myself of my part in this world. 

22. Last, but definitely not least, I'm so so grateful for my life and all the events that have occurred in it. I've had some pretty tough times, and I still go through them. I've hit the bottom and I've felt the high. It's been a rocky road and it's probably only going to get worse. But I would never trade my life for anything else. It's made me become who I am today and I'm proud of how far I've come. It's because of everything I've experienced I am able to share my little wisdom with others and be able to help others avoid those troubled times. 

I'm glad we have Thanksgiving. I'm glad we can all take the time to realize what we're grateful for and give thanks for being alive. Thanksgiving is great because there's a break, football, lots of food, activities, etc. But we cannot forget that this is a holiday to appreciate what we're given. And we should be this grateful for everything we have everyday. 

Day 27: Sister!!!

Day 27: A picture of yourself and a family member

I only have so many family members. But waaay back on day 2 (the person you've been closest to the longest) I was going to use Ginnie but seeing as there was this day I decided not to. Well the day has finally come where I get to rant about my sister! (ah~) 
So Ginnie is my only sibling. Older than me by 2 years and she's now married to Nelson. She's really been a great example to me in everything she does, and when I reflect back on whenever I first started a "new school" (Junior high, high school, college), I can't help but appreciate my sister's advice about it all, when back then it was slightly bothersome to me. But her example and words have really helped me transition schools much easier, especially with college! And I'm really glad she was down in Provo, just down the street, my first year at BYU cause it helped a lot. 
Ginnie is super smart and the only bad thing to that is the fact that everyone then looks at me like I'm going to graduate within a year from now as well. Sorry folks, I'm not that brilliant. She's also really small which I sometimes am jealous of, especially when she eats so much more than me. But luckily I'm not the one who gets mistaken as a preteen ;)
Being as she's the only sibling I've got, she was the only family member I had to play with when we were youngsters. We always got in a done of fights; our poor mother having to hear about every single one. I still remember that my mom would always tell us that when we got older we wouldn't fight anymore and we thought that was impossible back then. But now that we are older we really don't. My sister is a great friend to me and  a great confidant. I wouldn't trade my sister for any other for the world. We have loads of great times together, and I love it when we both jam out to music. 


Gangsta-G you're the best!! Love, Yun-berg

Day 14: Can't live without her

Day 14: A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

It's sad we only have 14 pictures of us together on FB...

This be my sister Ginnie!! Seeing as she's my only sibling, life would definitely not be the same without her and I could definitely not imagine life as an only child (although I've been kind of living life that way the past 3-ish years of my life). Anyway, she is awesome pretty much. She and I used to fight ALL. THE. TIME. way back in the days when we were younger, but now that we're older and don't have a lot of time to spend together (especially now that's she's married), I've realized what a great a sister she is and how we get along now haha! She has helped me with so much in my life, especially with school, that I don't know how life would be managed without for sure. She and I also have different characteristics and such that we have great differences....it's like our parents genes split between us two children haha (you get what I mean). Anyway, she's a great role model to me, I'm definitely glad she's the older sister because I like my life as it is...I get the easy way with everything thanks to her. :) So pretty much what I'm saying is that because she's been there the past (almost) 19 years of my life (and the rest of it), that life without her is unimaginable. 


Thanks Ginnie for everything you've done for me. I know I don't ever tell you that, but here's it now!! You're the best sister and I'm going to be sad when you and Nelson really do leave me for the East coast!!! But I really can't wait for nieces and nephews. Can't wait to spoil them in cute little clothes. I love you!!! <3


I'll get through this 30 day picture challenge eventually!! 

T.H.E. W.E.D.D.I.N.G.

Not mine! We still have quite some time before that happens. But my favorite sibling in the world got married last Thursday!! Yes.....I only have one sister but it's all the same...

So Nelson and Ginnie got married....HURRAY!! I definitely approve of Nelson, he's such an awesome guy and I'm so excited to have him as a brother. His family is super nice as well! I love them, too, and I'm glad I got to meet them! 

So the day was Thursday, April 28, 2011. The marriage took place in the Salt Lake Temple, luncheon at the Lion House, and the reception at Eldredge Manor in Bountiful. SUCH a pretty place, I wish I got some pictures of it when I was there. Dang. Oh well, moving on. It was a perfect day for a wedding as well! And the weather was great for photos! I took a bunch at the temple; they aren't that fantastic because I was afraid I'd get in the way of the photography, but they're good enough I'd say! It was a lovely day, and it was great seeing a lot of people I know that I hadn't seen in a while, too. Long story short, it was a fantastic day, and it being my first and last sibling wedding for me to experience, I'd say the wedding was a great one. 

I want to edit some pictures before I put them up again, but I've got this HUGE list of pictures that need to be edited before I get to those. Silly me and my procrastination. But they'll come around shortly...I'm feeling these need to be bumped up to top priority! So more pictures will soon come...to whoever reads this. Until then, keep on smiling, because you never know who's day you'll make! And live everyday, remembering that your special someone is out there for you! You might have already met them, you may have no idea who they are right now, but they're there for you!! That's the life of me for now! Peace.

I edited this a while ago...

I also edited this but the photo was taken by Jacque Lynn!!

I kinda like this picture..taken by me!

Sisters!! :) 

Day 9: amor los padres

Day 9: A picture of someone who has gotten you through the most

In this case, it's two people

I love them so much~ <3

Wow...where to even start...my parents have always been there for me, no matter what has happened. They have been there when I've been at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. They know what to tell me all the time, and they support me in all that I do so much. I just love my parents. They really are the best, and I wouldn't have any other parents to raise me like they have. They have always put my sister and I as top priority. They have always been there to check up on us. My father has been there to give me blessings when I need it. My mother has been there to be a listening ear to all the random stuff I have to say. I don't know what life would be like if my parents weren't there for me. I thank them for all they've done and I love them so much. 

Everyone should take the time to talk to their parents and just thank them for all they've done, whether it be great or small. They deserve it. And remember, they are the reason why you're alive right now anyway. 

The life of me.
