Blessings in my life...

Thanksgiving is one of my FAVORITE holidays. While I try to be grateful and show my appreciation for all that I have year round, November is a month I really reflect on what I have and how amazingly blessed I am. This year I realized how short life is... how much I take the daily grind for granted... skip over the little things that, in the end, make all the difference... So this year, starting now....I am going to be better...

This year I am grateful for the gospel. I am grateful that I will see my family again. I am grateful that I am sealed to them for time and all eternity. I find peace when I am able to talk to my Father in Heaven. I catch glimpses of what heaven must be like when I hear my little girl whisper her prayers at night. I know my Father in Heaven truly loves each of his children. I can feel his love for me and my family and am grateful for those feelings and reassurances.

I am grateful for my family. My girls are joy. I love their voices, giggles, hugs and kisses. I love being their mom and am grateful to my hubby for working hard so I can stay home with them and watch them grow. I am so blessed to be married to Brock. He is kind, funny, hard working, intelligent, sexy, loving...

I am grateful for my friends. They love me unconditionally and keep me sane! I am grateful to my parents. They are supportive and generous... They keep me grounded and make me a better person.

This year I am determined to enjoy every second of everyday. I will never forget to tell someone I love them. I will kiss and hug my girls and hubby everyday. I will enjoy each moment. If I have learned anything this year, it has been that....

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
