1. The Gospel. At times, it may be hard to see why Heavenly Father puts trials in your life.. but I always think, "Heavenly Father sees the big picture, there is more to this trial than we know". It is a great feeling to know that Heavenly Father loves us so BEYOND any comprehension.
2. My sweet, sweet husband. I am SO grateful for this man. The love, and admiration I have for Landon has only grown over the years. He has been such an amazing, caring, selfless person, and I truly look up to him in so many ways. He has the most amazing heart, and I know that when the time comes he is going to be the most amazing father. He is always there for me when I need him, and he is the one person that I can count on for endless laughs. He is my best friend, and I am the luckiest woman ever, because I get HIM for time and all eternity.
3. Our crazy pups. Believe it or not, our pups are center of our life. We don't have babies yet, so literally we go goo goo gaa gaa over there sweet eyes, snuggles, and loves. They are the most loyal pups, and we love them so much.
4. My Family. Both of them. My family is one of those families where there is no "intermediate" family.. my "intermediate" family is, my mom, dad, brothers, sisters, aunts uncles grandparents, cousins, nieces, and nephews. We were all raised so close and I am so grateful for that factor alone. My cousins feel like my siblings.. and my aunts and uncles are other moms and dads. I am also so grateful for my in-laws. Since day one, they never really treated me like an "in law", in fact I hate saying those words "in-laws", because to me every single one of them feel like a full blooded family member. I love this family that instilled all the values that my Landon has. I am so grateful for each one them welcoming me into their family with open arms.
5. My House! Oh my goodness, my house. We are so blessed to have bought a house when we did. I have loved having my own nest to decorate, and come home to every single night. It is such a great feeling in the world to have a goal with your significant other, and reach that goal. Watching our house being built, and picking out the carpet, and tile, and appliances, has got to be one of my favorite memories with Landon.
6. I am grateful for reliable transportation, that gets us from point A to B... and to C, D, E and F with no problems.
7. I am grateful fro technology, and with that technology, I am able to Facetime with my older brother and sister and niece and nephew in Georgia. Or my younger brother and sister in West Valley. Or our niece and nephew in Salt Lake, or with our nephew Cash who lives in Vegas, but LOVES to facetime with us. Its a great thing to be able to stay in contact with everyone even from miles away.
8. Jobs. I am so grateful that my husband and I have been blessed with great jobs which allow us to live the life we do.
9. Our health. I mean, we still get the typical cold, allergies, flu, etc. BUT I am SO grateful that overall, Landon and I have both been blessed with being healthy. Landon has the weaker immune system between the two of us, but with that being said, neither one of us have had severe health issues, and for that I am grateful.
10. Education. I am grateful for education. And I am grateful that my husband has been able to expand his education into something he enjoys doing. I am so grateful that he able to expand his knowledge and to continue expanding as far as his heart desires.
So- I know it was long, but those are my top 10 things that I am grateful for, not only today, not only this month, but every single day of the year. I hope that this month as you reflect on your blessings, you can carry on reflecting on your blessings every single day of the year.
I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving!
