(I have a bunch of pictures to catch up on again, but those can wait for now!)
I love this season. Of course I love the turkey, and the stuffing, and the yams and corn and rolls. But I love the spirit that it brings. The chance to forget about all of the problems in my life, all of the things I DON'T have, and all of the things that will ever so willingly creep back into my life soon enough. I love the chance to reflect on the things that I AM grateful for!
- A wonderful mother whom I can't wait to get to know someday - I'm sure I'm more like her than I'll ever realize.
- An amazing other mother who taught me many of the things I know, and who always is there for me.
- A wise father who is humble, kind, honest, and respectable.
- A (very large) family who always give me a reason to smile. Despite our craziness sometimes, we're one great group!
- The gospel of Jesus Christ. Where I'd be without it, Heaven only knows!
- My Savior who gave his life for me.
- My sweet and tender husband whom my love grows for each and every day.
- For my darling Avery and the utter happiness and joy she brings.
- For a new a precious little soul that is preparing to join our family. (Beginning of July 2010)
I could list off thousands of other specific things I am grateful for this season! But rather than read all about my blessings, I hope that you can take a moment to reflect on yours. May the spirit of the season grab hold of you and help you realize how wonderful life really is!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!
