Thanksgiving.

I am glad for many things...

• I am thankful for my loving husband, Jeremy. I am so blessed to have found the perfect match for me. He is my best friend. He is always there to make me smile. I can always count on him when I need a hug, a listener, a shoulder to cry on, a good laugh... just about anything. I am so grateful that we get to be together forever!
• I am thankful for Lincoln. He is the best 'oldest child' I could have asked for. He is the sweetest, kindest, good natured little boy that I know. I am so lucky to get to spend all day everyday with him! I am thankful for his quirky moments and his passion for the little things in life.
• I am thankful for Grace. She is my little princess even though I know she secretly likes her daddy more than she likes me. :) I am grateful that I have my little girl who makes me smile and laugh everyday with her sweet mannerisms. I am thankful for her sweet voice and for all the silly things she says everyday to me.
• I am thankful for Graham. He is the sweetest little thing. I am thankful for that smile that greets me whenever I walk into the room. I am grateful for my Heavenly Father who sent him down to me when I needed him most.
• I am thankful for my future children. I can't wait to meet them someday!
• I am thankful for the church. My life would be empty without it. I look forward to Sunday mornings each week because I know I get to fill my cup.
• I am thankful for church callings that push me to my limit and help me break out of my shell and serve those who I normally would be too shy to serve.
• I am thankful for friends, old and new. For people who love me for who I am and accept my flaws and weaknesses. Friends are the greatest.
• I am thankful for my Utah family. I am so blessed to have a huge family that loves me SO much. I have a mom and a dad who raised me in the Gospel. They are some of the strongest people that I know. I have so many brothers and sisters who are some of my very best friends in the whole world. I know that I can rely on my family for anything. They are my biggest cheerleaders.
• I am thankful to have in-laws who accepted me into their family with open arms. Some people aren't so lucky. I am grateful that I can call my in-laws mom and dad and brother and sister without hesitation. They are the best!
• I am grateful for my home... my clothes... food on the table. All the things that I sometimes take for granted.
• I am grateful for the mattresses that I get to sleep on at night.
• I am thankful for technology... tivo... digital camera... e-mail.
• I am thankful for nature. I've learned to love and appreciate it here in Cleveland.
• I am thankful for life adventures. I never thought I would make it away from my family... it's tough... but I'm so grateful for the experiences I'm facing here in Ohio.
• I am thankful for missionary work. I love having the missionaries in our home. Missionaries are the greatest. I can't wait to serve a mission with my sweetie.
• I am thankful for the scriptures... I am learning to love them more and more each day as I read them with my sweetie.
• I am grateful for the power of prayer. The ability we have to pray to our Heavenly Father and ask for guidance and direction in our lives. And the ability to receive answers to prayers if we are living worthy.
• I am thankful for the priesthood and how it blesses my little family each day.
• I am thankful for a living prophet. I learn so much from President Hinckley.
• I am thankful for my Savior. Without Him... there wouldn't be anything to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving!
