Thankful November

I really like the idea of posting what you are thankful for during the month of November, but I really don't like the idea of posting on Facebook every day.  So I thought I would just do it here on my blog, so if you want to look at it you can, but if you don't... you don't!

Day 1:  I am thankful for my little family! I love spending time just us three.  And I think I have a pretty cute little family if I do say so myself :)













Day 2:  I am thankful for my husband.  He is such a good person.  Seriously.  He loves everyone, and cares about everyone.  He is a hard worker, a good provider, sensitive, loving, and the best daddy out there!  I am so glad I married my best friend!














Day 3: I am thankful that I get to be a mother to my sweet beautiful boy.  There is nothing better.  That's all.




















Day 4 &5:  I am thankful for my parents and my siblings.  My family is seriously so much fun!  I am so glad I get to be a part of it.  I am so proud of how awesome my brothers are, they are such a good example to me.  My parents are such good and deserving people, and love us so much.













Day 6:  I am thankful for my job.  I love the opportunity I have to work part-time.  It's nice to get some grown-up time once in a while and be able to help provide for my family.  I also love the company I work for.  I am also thankful its only 8 minutes from my house!

Day 7: I am thankful for my best friend.  What would I do without her?  We have been friends for a long 26 years, and I can't wait until she has her baby in April so we get to be mommies together!













Day 8:  I am thankful for my in-laws.  I am lucky to have married into a great family.  It is nice to have one set of parents close by (and I have a bunch of really cute nieces and nephews!)














Day 9: I am thankful for the gospel.  I love being a member of the church, and all that it means.  I also LOVE the ward I am in and all the people in it.

Day 10: I am thankful for my home.  I am so grateful for the opportunity we had to become home-owners.  I never thought in this stage in my life I'd have a home so perfect for us.  I also love our neighborhood.

Day 11: I am thankful for our health.  It devastates me to hear about friends and loved ones who are suffering from an illness.  I'm also thankful we have a perfectly healthy little baby and aside from a week in the NICU when he was born, he hasn't had any health issues since.

Day 12: I am thankful for transportation.  I hate living far away from my parents, but I am thankful that traveling is made easier with cars and airplanes so Bradley gets to see his grandparents fairly often.

Day 13: I am thankful for prayer.  My testimony of prayer has definitely strengthened this year with so many of my prayers being answered.  The power of prayer is amazing.

Day 14-17: I am thankful Bradley has such four amazing grandparents.  This little boy is definitely spoiled and loved by his grandma's and grandpa's!  I hope he continues to have a good relationship with them as he grows up.

Day 18:  I am thankful for Kevin's job.  I am so happy he found something that he loves, and that he works for a such a great company that gives him the opportunity to do very well and learn a lot.

Day 19: I am thankful for books.  I love reading, I have to be careful not to finish a book to fast.  I am so glad that I love to read, and hope to pass my love of reading onto my children, like my mom passed it on to me.

Day 20:  I am thankful for modern medicine.   Sometimes I think back on when I was in labor with Bradley, what would I have done without my doctor?  We are so lucky to live in this day and age with all the medical advancement that there is.

Day 21: I am thankful for the priesthood.  I am thankful that I have grown up with the priesthood in my life, and continue to have it in my life.  I am thankful for priesthood blessings.

Day 22-23: I am thankful for both of our cars.  We are lucky that we have always had two working cars.  We also just made our last car payment last month, woohoo!

Day 24: I am thankful for holidays.  I LOVE holidays!  My favorite is Christmas.  I love getting to spend the time with friends and family.

Day 25: I am thankful for Facebook.  No, really, I am.  I would not keep in touch with half the friends and family that I do because of Facebook.  Yes it can be SUPER annoying, but I love that I get to see pictures of friends and family that I hardly ever see.

Day 26: I am thankful for my ability to cook.  My mom has always been a good cook, and taught me how to cook in high school.  I love cooking!!  I also love eating, so it works out quite nicely :)

Day 27: I am thankful for the temple.  I am blessed to live in an area with so many temples close by, that I can pretty much go whenever I want.  I am thankful for temple blessings, and that I can be with my family forever.

Day 28: I am thankful for Thanksgiving!  I am thankful that I can stop and think about all the things I am thankful for.  And for good food and spending time with family!



 Us on Thanksgiving!
