Thank-FULL

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Brent and I will be in Arizona while the kids are in SLC. I decided that I would take a minute or two today to express all my gratitude and give thanks for all the blessings in my life. Well...I guess not ALL the blessings or I would be here for a few days.

I am the luckiest girl in the world.

I have been blessed with the most loving, caring, hard working, HANDSOME husband. Heavenly Father knew exactly what I needed and sent Brent to me. He is so understanding, easy going and really knows how to take care of me. He knows exactly how to love me and he makes me feel like I am the most important person in his world. Each day I feel honored to be his wife and I am proud of who he is and the life he leads. He healed my heart and has given me true happiness that will last for eternity.

I am thankful for his smile, his laugh.

I am thankful for his job and that he is honest and patient.

I am thankful for his health.

I am thankful for his style and how darling he looks in his clothes.

I am thankful for his kisses and how he falls asleep with his hand on my leg every night.

I am thankful that he loves me and tells me everyday.

I have two of the most well behaved, smart, lovable children...who teach me each day what unconditional love really is. They have had a pretty rough little life in some ways yet they have always remained positive and have adapted so well to their unfortunate family situation.

I am thankful that Gavin is so talented and that he allows himself to feel proud.

I am thankful that Savanna is such a good friend and has learned to be a leader and not a follower.

I am thankful that Gavin is mature enough not to care about what other kids think of him and that he has enough confidence to deal with teasing from others...along with that I am thankful that he doesn't get teased very often anymore.

I am thankful that Savanna has a high opinion of herself and that she believes she can do anything.

I am thankful that they are KIND to others.

I am thankful that they keep their rooms clean (when asked) and that they are so obedient.

I am thankful that they love to read scriptures each night and are the ones who make sure we are reading daily.

I am thankful for their hugs and kisses, for blown kisses and "I love you" finger waves.

I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for my family. I have the greatest parents, sisters and in-laws. I am surrounded by WONDERFUL!
