Here is my grateful list:
- My mom, she is a wonderful lady and I love the time we spend together shopping, scrapbooking and making cards, which she does not give herself enough credit for.
- My dad, who is a good listener and gives the best advice. He has always taken care of our family and has given of his time freely.
- My brothers Alan, Aaron, Gordon, and Jake. I will not lie we were not the Brady Bunch but now that we are older their friendship and brotherly love means so much more to me.
- My one and only sister Annmarie, she is truly my best friend (sorry Margie and Tiffany). She has always been someone I look up to and enjoying being with.
- My only brother in law Steve. He fits so well with our family and loves my sister so much. I have great respect for him because he always supported Annmarie in the gospel and found out for himself the truth and joined the church.
- My sister in laws Meredith, Jen and Trisha who I count as sisters too. They have brought energy to this family and many good times.
- My neices and nephews Madison, Landon, Sofia, Mirabel, Morgan, McKinley, Braylen and Kennedy. They are all joys to our family and I love the time I get to be with them.
- My main girls Margie and Tiffany. They are such great friends and are each unique in their own way. I know I can tell them anything and they will support and encourage me in every way. My life has been changed because they are in it.
- Books, only recently have I started this up.
- My freedom and living in America and for all its beauty.
- The Book of Mormon. I teach Gospel Doctrine in the singles ward and still do not think of myself as an intellect in the gospel but Heavenly Father knew I needed this in my life. I have gained a greater testimony of this book and feel the love Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ have for all of us.
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and took the time to remember what you are grateful for in your life.
