Time for Thankfulness

Thanksgiving came and went. I didn't spent much of thanksgiving weekend thinking about the things I was grateful for.... instead I spent all sunday sitting in church thinking about how excited I was for turkey, sweet potatoes, gravy, and yummy delicious food. NOW that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I am certainly grateful for so many things.

I know that I am so thankful for great friends that feel like Family here in Grande Prairie that make Holidays feel like REAL holidays! I am thankful for my Two sweet little blessings named Claire and Olivia that make me smile and humble me each day. I am thankful for my Husband who drove all night long with his brother after working a long day, just so he could wake up with his family on friday morning and then spend the next few days with us!!! so Grateful that my able husband could make a dog house for our obnoxious dog to hang out in as the days get colder and colder. I am grateful for a husband. I am grateful to have the gospel in my life and really cannot imagine my life without it, I know it's been said so much, but really... I just wonder what kind of a mother I would be without prayer. I am thankful for my SISTERS... especially Caitlin at this time... I get to KNOW what she is going through, but I don't get to FEEL it, I would do anything to take it away. I know I love her, and I know that we were sent to earth together for a reason, she is my strength and I am hers! I am grateful for my new calling, which I know is going to teach me a lot, I've already felt some growth as I was able to stand in front of the ladies at enrichment and speak for an entire hour ( and not sound like a nervous five year old boy) for the first time I had confidence!!!! I am thankful for have a baby growing in me, I see so many people stuggling and I just know that this is such a Blessing, that I often take for granted. I am thankful for my dad, who will always make the time to give me a call, even if it's between flights just to remind me to get a flu shot. It just lets me know that he does care! How lucky I am

I am thankful that Claire is sitting through the entire movie of SNOW WHITE, quiet at last! I am grateful for a bed, that I am going to crawl into very shortly, and enjoy a good nights sleep.

Pictures to come shortly.... I PROMISE!
