Thankful

I love this time of the year. It gives me the opportunity to really reflect on the things that I am most thankful for in my life. At this point in time, I have so much to be thankful for!

I have been blessed with a wonderful husband that is sweet and loving. He takes such wonderful care of me. He couldn't be more perfect for me. We are so happy together and get along so well. He works so hard to provide for us. He is the hardest worker I have ever met and he is such an inspiration to me. I am so grateful every day that I have him in my life and that I have him for all eternity. I am grateful that I found a man worthy to take me to the temple and that wants to spend eternity with me as well.

I am thankful for the family that I have. Not only my immediate family, but for my in-laws as well. My parents have been such a support for me and Preston. They were able to take time out of their schedule to came to almost every Hunter High Football game this season to support the football team and the cheerleaders that we coach. Preston's parents and brother, Parker, came to every game as well. It is so amazing to have such a great support system with us.

I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to live where I do. The neighbors and ward are such amazing people. They have made me feel so welcomed. They've made moving here like moving home. There is not one person that has made me feel like I am an "outsider" to them. It's like I've lived here all my life.

What I am most thankful for is the Lord and all the blessings that he has bestowed upon us. He blessed me with a wonderful husband, amazing jobs (for both of us), amazing family, and so much more. Just in the last year we were blessed with the opportunity to go back to Preston's mission in Buenos Aires Argentina for 3 weeks. I was able to meet people that he had taught and I grew to love each one of them. The couple that we stayed with, Miguel and Natalia, were some of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met. I am so blessed to have met them and grew to love them as family. I am grateful for the calling that I've been given in the Primary with Preston. Our kids are so sweet and so much fun to be around. I love each one of them like they were my own kids.

Take this time to reflect on things that you are thankful for. It's amazing what it does to your mood. It lifts your spirits. Don't be like me and take this time of year to think about it, Be grateful all year long. Let others know you are grateful for them and everything they do for you. Thank you for taking the time to read our blog and learn what's going on in our lives.
