Grateful for...

Every year I have so much to be grateful for and this year is no exception. I wanted to write down some of the things I am especially thankful for this year.

  • Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the knowledge I have of why I am here, who I am and where I am going. I am especially grateful for Temples in which I am able to take part in Sacred Ordinances that allow me to be with my family forever.
  • Haws. I married the most wonderful man! He takes such good care of me and our family. I feel very lucky to have married someone who supports me in all I do and loves me for who I am. I didn't think I could admire him more and then he became a father to our sweet baby James.
  • James. I am still amazed at how much I love this little guy. I am so grateful that God has entrusted me to be his mother. To protect, care and raise him into the man he will be someday.
  • Modern Medicine. With out it, I would not have James.  
  • Healthy parents and In-laws. They do so much for us and I love them dearly.
  • My siblings and their spouses and Haws' siblings and spouses. These are some of my closest  friends. I am so grateful to have married into a great family and that all of my siblings have married people I love to spend time with.
  • Nephews and Nieces. They are all so cute!
  • Extended family. I don't know many people who are as close to their extended family as we are. It is something special.
  • Friends. Who are so much fun and supportive and love me with all my imperfections.
  • Work. I love my job. It allows me to still be with James 90% of the time and while I am there I am spending time with people I care about and have fun with. I am also grateful for Haws' job. He is such a hard worker and I am so happy that he likes what he is doing.


There is so much more, but I wanted narrow it down a bit :)
