I'm Thankful for...

The greatest part about Thanksgiving is when we go around the table and tell what we are thankful for. I love reflecting on my numerous blessings but I hate saying it in front of people (this is where my shy part comes out, and my hating crying in front of people). Also I remember one day as I was sitting in church with my family we were singing "Count Your Blessings" I don't know who said first but my mom and I started having a conversation about how it is impossible to count them so we changed the words to "Name Your Blessings" ( I hope I am not going to hell for changing a hymn, oh well if I do my mom is going with me!) and it really has made me think since then to express what I am thankful for. Also somebody of facebook started a whole thankful everyday thing and said it would be hard by the end of it....well let it be known it is 2 days before Thanksgiving and I still have plenty up my sleeve. So here is my little tribute to maybe the people or things in my life that they may think that they are unimportant but they have changed my way in a small or maybe a life changing way:

-First and foremost my Almighty Heavenly Father. I have been so blessed to grow up in the gospel to know that He cares for me and loves me so much. He listens to my simple and crazy requests because he knows what I need. That leads into my next item is that I am thankful that Heavenly Father put the most amazing man into my life at the perfect time. I am so thankful for my adorable and crazy husband. Sometimes I think our love is pretty normal and nothing exciting but then I realize how much fun we have and how much we laugh. He knows how to make me happy and he always puts me first. He trusts me so much and never questions my thoughts and feelings. I am so thankful for my temple covenants so that we can be together forever and raise a family so they can know that they are a child of God also.
-My loving and crazy parents: Yes they are crazy but I can't say anything I am too. My faithful mother who constantly told me how much she loved me and always showed me through everything that she did. My dad for his constant testimony and deep thoughts that I still love to pry into. Also only the coolest dads will recommend that we watch Steel Magnolias.
-My new mother and father: Who raised some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Also for accepting me so easily into their family and making me feel like one of them. Their constant faith has been an example of how to raise a great family.
-All my siblings who are so great and have helped me to be the person I am today. For teasing me to keep me strong. Also for bringing in some pretty darn cute nieces and nephews!
-All of our great friends who keep us young and for spending some great times with us.
-My old friends growing up, you know who you are, for teaching me who I really am and being okay with yourselves to help me realize who I could become.
-our cute apartment
-My crazy Corolla, Jake thinks it has the shakes but it is still chuggin along.
-Our great jobs that give us the money to do the things we love and teaching us some great lessons in life.
-Wonderful music, especially Paramore, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Glee, Sugarland, and Kelly Clarkson.
-Yummy Food
-the temple
-our awesome ward
-Black Fridays
-naps
-nice clothes
-going to BYU
-that Christmas is coming up soon
-Sister's Night


That is just to name a few. Just thought it would be appropriate since Thanksgiving is coming up.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
