Thankful-

I thought I better do this tonight cuz tomorrow is going to be too crazy. Here's my list of things I'm thankful for.

*My wonderful husband. He is so amazing and does so much for me. He always knows when I need a little pick me up and know just what to do to make me happy. He is such a wonderful daddy. Hunter loves him so much and so do I.

*My crazy wonderful son. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life. I don't know where I would be without him. He's always on the go and always has so much energy. He's full of smiles and laughs and hugs and kisses. I love that he still wants his mommy to snuggle him at times (I know this will fade more with time). I love his love for life. He is always such a happy go lucky kind of kid. We'd be lost with out him!

*My wonderful parents for all they have and still do for me. They are such a great support to our family.

*My amazing in-laws. They are another wonderful support and always so loving and caring despite our downfalls. They are such great examples of charity. (except when it comes to the school down south, then my mother-in-law isn't so much) :) I love them so much and I am so greatful that they raised such a wonderful son and I am so happy to be in their family.

*My siblings-Shell & Bud-They may not have always liked me, but they always love me. I love my sister calling to ask me crazy left handed cooking questions. I love to know that she needs me. My brother is awesome. He is in the Marines and serving our country, for that I am very greatful.

*My sibling-in-law:Danny, Amy, Nick, Farelyn, & Krystal: They are so much fun to be around! I love playing games with them and hanging out with them.

*My niece & nephew:Damien, Rylee, Tucker, Titus, Xander-They are the cutest kids. They are so much fun. What more needs to be said about them.

*All my extended family ( on both sides)-I love family! I love spending time with them and learning new things about the family's past.

*The gospel:The gospel is such an amazing gift and we'd be lost without it. I am so thankful Heavenly Father sent his son to die for us so that we may be able to enjoy the freedoms and things we are able to enjoy. I am so thankful for Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. I know that the Book of Mormon is true with all my heart. I am so thankful for the blessings it can bring to my life.

*The Temple: I am so thankful that I live so close to a temple. I need to make it there more often but I love the peace that we recieve when we are there. I love being able to have our prayers answered and being able to serve others while in the temple. I hope that the work that is being done on this side is being accepted on the other, so that they may have the same happieness that we have.

*My Job: Although, I get frustrated and annoyed many times I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to be gainfully employed. Knowing that I am helping to contribute to our families needs is a great blessing. (someday I will be able to stay home with Hunter)

*Josh's Education: It's been stressful for him and for me and it's been a lot of work and time and money but it has been worth it and will pay off in the end. I know that someday he will be gainfully employed and I will be able to stay home with Hunter and I am so greatful for that knowledge and sometimes that's what gets me through the day.

*Holidays:I am greatful for this time of year to give me a little extra help to remind me of all the many blessings I have been given. I am so thoroghly blessed and I am so thankful for all the blessings I have.

I hope everyone has a very happy thanksgiving!!!!

Reading your blogs you can tell that you are such a sweet and loving person. I think sometimes it helps us as well as others just to ponder on what we are thankful for.
