Thankful

I love Thanksgiving! I think it is a great time to remind ourselves of our blessings. We often get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget what truly matters.

There are so many things I am thankful for that I could probably spend all day making up a list. And since I don't have all day, here'smy Top 5:

1. The Gospel. I am so thankful to know where I came from and where I am going. Knowing that our family is sealed for Eternity has brought so much peace to my mind.

2. My amazing husband. Billy is sacrificing so much so that we can have the life that many people can only dream of. Because he works so hard, I can stay at home to raise our children. Because he works so hard, we will soon be able to help those in need. And because he works so hard, we will have numerous opportunities to change lives.

3. My wonderful boys, Logan and Taylor. I never knew I could love anyone so much. They bring me so much happiness. I enjoy every minute I spend with them, whether we play, eat, or cuddle together. I feel so grateful that the Lord blessed me with two of his most special angels and that they are as healthy as can be.

4. Our health. Except for a few minor things here and there (like Taylor's ventricular spetum defect, Logan's misshaped head, Billy's poor eating and exercise habits, and my really bad skin), we are all fairly healthy.

5. Our friends and family members. They have stood by us through the best and the worst. We feel so grateful to be blessed with their friendship.

No matter how much debt we've been in these last couple of years, I don't feel like there is anything missing in my life. I have everything I have always wanted and needed.
