Thankful

Well, not much happened this month.  We did however have a wonderful Thanksgiving and for the first time ever we had Thanksgiving at Isaac's parents house!  They have always lived in small apartments and so have never had the room to have the dinner at their house, but now that they live in a house, they finally have the room to host Thanksgiving!  It was fun and great to be with family!  That being said, I would like to take time to talk about some of the things that I am grateful for....

I am greatful for Isaac.  He is my everything!  I can't imagine going through this life without him.  I love him more today than I did the day I married him.  He is my best friend, my lover, and my confidant.  He makes me a better person and I am so glad I chose him and he chose me!

I am grateful for my children and for motherhood!  I did not know that this level of love exsisted until I became a mother.  I love their laughter, I love their enthusiasm, I love the way they love me and the way they love each other.  I love being their Mom!

I am greatful for my mother and my mother-in-law.  They inspire me, guide me, and help me more than they will ever know.

I am greatful for my friends!  All the mommies from Escuelita, from my ward, from my neighborhood and especially Yadira, Marie and Missy who are like sisters to me.

I am greatful for my Step-sister Margaret.  This past year she has become not just a step-sister but a real sister!  I love that we have grown close after all these years.

I am greatful for my brothers and their wives who love them.

I am greatful for my beautiful house.

I am greatful for my husband's job and that he did not get laid off this year.  What a blessing!

I am greatful for my health, my husband's heath and my children's health. 

I am greatful for my talents and even though I don't have as much time as I used to to practice them, I am greatful that I have them and I can practice them at will.

I am greatful to be living in Utah where I feel safe and can be close to family.

I am greatful for my car, electicity, running clean water and all the luxuries that life has to offer.

I am greatful for my Freedom and to be living in this amazing country!

There is so much more, but I want to end with this one... I am greatful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that I am lucky enough to belong to his church.  I am greatful for the knowledge of the plan of Salvation.  For the hope it brings and to know that I get to be with the love of my life for more than just this life.  For all Eternity.  I am greatful for the scriptures and the Holy Spirit and for the Freedom that living in accordance to the Lord's eternal laws brings.  I am a blessed girl with so much to be greatful but if it were not for the Gospel of Jesus Christ I would not be as happy.  Everything good in my life is because of my Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am Thankful...
