I Am Thankful For...

With the Holiday season around, I was thinking about everything that I am grateful for in my life.

For starters, My loving Husband... He does so much for me. I am so grateful for everything he has given me. He has so much love for me. He has stood by my side with all my medical problems. He went to so many doctor appointments even when we were just dating. After going to the hospital so many time and having surgery he still stayed by my side. After getting pregnant I didnt think things would get any better. We were at least in the hospital trying to have the girls at least 3 times a week. And it wasnt a pretty things. All the shots and pain I was in he was always next to me. If he had to work and couldnt get off to take me it just killed him. He gave me two wonderful little girls. Then we walked into the temple a month and a week after the girls were born. I was so greatful to have him across from me. To look into his eyes the whole time. I cant wait to be in his arms again.

Second, my two wonderful daughters. Without them life would never be the same. They both bring so much joy and comfort to me. Just to get up in the morning and see their smiling faces. Even with all the poppy diapers I wouldn't ever want to lose them. They are more world, just like their father.

Third, My Two Wonderful Parents. I would be nothing without their love and support. Without them showing me the way with not only the Gospel but also with teaching me how to take care of a family. My mother showing me how to cook so that one day i can cook for my family and take care of the house. My mother showed me how much love she had for me and my brothers and sister. She stayed home to take care of us even when it was just me and my brothers. The best part of going to school is we were coming home to mom and her love and support. And her questions about school even if we did something wrong. My Father, how can I explain what my father did for me besides in this words, He showed me how to respect, love, care and being supporting. Without my father I don't think I'd be the person I am today. All in my life growing up my father was there but also wasn't. He was at work supporting our family and helping grandpa Morris with the farm on Saturdays. The first time in high school I've every heard my father tell me how proud he was of me was at Skyline High School. I joined JROTC and did my first and last color guard at the last choir concert that I was in. To see my father be so proud of me was the greatest thing in the world. The next time was when I had the girls. With everything going on with them, health wise. The Third was, when David and I went into the mesa temple and got sealed to each other and our girls. My father showed me how much he love and cares for me on those 3 days. And that makes up for everyday growing up. I may not of always shown it to him but I love my father so much and I am so grateful he is my father know matter what.

Forth, which should of come first but, Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ. Cause honestly with them no one would be here. For Christ to die on that cross for me and my family. I am so grateful to him. Just like the song I know that my Redeemer lives. I do know he lives and loves me. Just because you cant see him doesn't mean anything. He is always there know matter what. They will be the only people that will never walk away from you. They love all of us in this world even if we do make mistakes. They will for give you. Never doubt that they love and care for you. In different ways they do come to you and they do show that they are with you. I know that he lives. And I cant wait to meet him again in Heaven.

Fifth, My Brothers. Yes I said my brothers. I know growing up we weren't close at all. But if I didn't have them, I don't think life would of been the same. Yes growing up we wanted to kill each other but deep down we didn't. We really love each other. Get together now when we are older are the greatest days ever. I love all 3 of brothers to death. There are different things about them now that we are growing up, that I want my children to get from them. When that day comes my brothers will know.

Sixth, Madison. Growing up I always wanted a little brother or sister. Then I stopped asking and that's when we got Madison. I guess the Lord was just waiting for me to stop asking. But Madison brings alot into my life. Yes, growing up with me in high school and having a little sister wasn't the greatest all the time but looking back it was so great. Now Madison and I have a great relationship and when we move I am going to miss her alot. The way she is with my girls is so wonderful. She is the greatest Aunt anyone could ask for.

Now there's alot more I could go on about but I am going to stop. I am sure there will be more to come later.
