Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving. I wanted to put some words down in writing about some of the things I have to be thankful for this holiday. I have to start with my gratitude for the church I belong to- the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. I am thankful for the peace I feel from the knowledge of the gospel. I am thankful that I am sealed in the temple to my husband, my children, my parents, my family for all of eternity. I am thankful that I have a husband who loves me and puts up with my imperfections. I am thankful to be blessed with two healthy, loving children that are patient with me and love me unconditionally. I am thankful for amazing parents that have been righteous examples to me throughout my life. I am thankful that my husband has amazing parents that treat me as one of their own children. I am thankful that my children have wonderful grandparents that show them love and affection. I am thankful for each one of my siblings, but I have to single out my favorite sister, Camille. I am thankful for her friendship throughout my life. I am thankful all of my frienships. I have been blessed to have loyal and loving people in my life that I would consider closer than just friends, but as family. I am thankful for a comfortable home, with food on my table. I am thankful for this Thanksgiving Day that I have been able to spend it with just my husband and my children. It has been a day full of love and laughter. I'm thankful for so many things that I do not feel worthy of all the blessings I enjoy. I am thankful for all of you that have had such an influence on who I have become, and the woman I am still trying to become. I am the luckiest girl to have such wonderful people surrounding me. I hope all of you are having a very Happy Thanksgiving.
