I am Grateful

We are heading to Las Vegas today to spend Thanksgiving with Wade's parents, brother Jake, sister Wendy and her husband John and their new baby Ryder, and Wade's grandparents. We are so excited:) Before I go I wanted to spend a minute and document how Thankful I am for all the blessing in my life. This time of year always makes me reflect on how blessed I am.

* I am grateful for My Savior Jesus Christ who died for me and made it possible for me to Return and Live with me Father in Heaven again. I will always be indebted to him and hope that I am living my life in a way that shows him how grateful I am.

*I could not have hand picked a better family. My Heavenly Father knew exactly who I needed to walk this life with and He gave me that Gift. I love my husband. I don't think he will ever be able to fully understand how much I love him. He is such a good provider for our family. He has given me the greatest gift to be able to stay at home with Brooklyn. He also supports me in going to school full time and helps me where he can. I am so in love with Wade...It is fabulous!

*I also could not have picked a more beautiful and sweet daughter. I feel privileged to be Brooklyn's mommy. She has made me the happiest I can be and gives me the greatest joy a mother could feel. Not to mention she is DANG cute too!

* I could not be more grateful for my family and my in laws. I really got blessed in the family department. I have a great family who I would not trade for the world. I have sisters who are my best friends, a brother who is one of a kind, and parents who I love and adore. I also love Wade's family just as my own. Not every girl can say she loves her mother in law like her own. I am blessed!

* We have not yet experienced any major health scares in our family. I am so grateful for good health. I pray every night that we will continue to get blessed with good health. I am so so so so grateful for good health.

*This last year I have found some really great friends that I have never had before. I have never felt as loved as I do now by these friends...they know who they are and I am grateful for them:)

*To go along with that I am grateful for Monday nights where we spend FHE with our good friends Chris and Sara, Tracen and Logan. I look forward to it every week! I love getting together, eating good food and having a little lesson.

*Lastly, but not lastly because I could go on forever about everything I am grateful for, I am grateful for a stable home, a good income that provides for all of our needs, a beautiful home, clothes on my back, food on my table, being able to afford going to school and having the time to work on my degree, and the fun that Wade and I have had the last year. We have had some REALLY great times together with family and friends and with each other.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Remember that we are all truly blessed. Don't forget to Thank you Heavenly Father for all of those things:)
