I am thankful 4...

1. I am thankful for the focus that thinking of the things I am thankful for everyday has given me. Crazy what counting your blessings can do.

2. I am thankful for Mark. I love him. We have loved and learned a lot in our almost 9 years and I look forward to eternity. I love that he dreams and takes risks and enjoys life fully. I love that he chose me, I am thankful for his love and friendship.

3. I am thankful for each of our children, as I have thought every day of what I am grateful for, family is always on my mind. I am such a work in progress and it is humbling to be their mother, but I am thrilled out of my mind that I get these five wonderful, wonderful individuals FOREVER. As we prepare for thanksgiving, my mind has wondered to years ahead when our little family has grown and gone and I pray that they will always want to come "over the river and through the woods" to where it all began. As much I am ready to be done with 2 year olds, I love the phase we are in. I am realizing that it does go by fast and that this will be a time in our lives that I will cherish like no other.

4. I am thankful for my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know he lives and loves me. I am thankful for the holy ghost that speaks truth and for the covenants that I have made because of the truth that I have learned under his tutoring. I come from a rich history of faithful man and women and for them I am grateful.

* Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow my friends & family I love you, I love life, I love laughter and I am so grateful for the abundance that I have been blessed with both spiritually and temporally.
