Thankful


This Thanksgiving week has started kinda early for me. My heart has become so full that I needed to express my gratitude a little early. Of course its not just the Thanksgiving holiday that brings me to feel this way, but, it does help me to look back on my life and recognize my blessings.
First, I am so grateful for my incredible husband. He is such an amazing man, and for me to be blessed with him in my life and for the rest of my life continues to bring me to my greatest happiness. My husband sacrafices so much in his life for this country and for the freedom America has today, again makes me feel so special and very grateful he is apart of my life. He is not only the best husband but he is an incredible father to our son. Though Hunter is young, I see him every day looking up to his dad and lighting up with his perfect smile full of love for Justin. I just want my husband to always know how much I love him. That my love for him grows more and more everyday. That I am so grateful he is my husband and the father to our children, because they too are very lucky.
I have an amazing family! I am so grateful to be born into such a wonderful and blended family. My parents are always there for me and always have been there for me. I have, just like many others out there have a mother and father who are wonderful to me and I love very much. I have a step-mother who is a loving friend and a wonderful wife to my dad, and father who has raised me as his own who I love so much. I am so grateful to have so many expamples around me. At my weakest point in my life they helped hold my head up and show me how there is always a light during darkest times. Being so far from them is so hard, but it has helped me realize what kind of women, and mother I am today. Though I dont feel like I am even half the mother my mom has been to me. I hope they know how much I love them and appreciate all they do for me. Thank you for your teachings and guidance throughout my life. I have an awesome brother and sister that have always supported me and been there for me, along with a step brother and sister . My brother and sister are my best friends. When I do feel down or do need advice I know I can turn to them. I love you all and thank you for always being there.
My little boy is my pride and joy without question. My world is revoloved around my son. To become a mother is truly the greatest blessing. He is the best thing that has ever happend to me. Though he is just a baby..kinda and cant talk much he has taught me so much. He blesses my life everyday with just his sweet smile and his way of needing me. I never knew what great joy being a mother could bring. I always just imagined and never did I imagine this much joy! I hope to be able to show him throughout his life how much I do love him. If possible! Hunter you are the best little boy and I love you more then life itself!
I am so grateful for my savior Jesus Christ. And for the sacrafices he made for me to have this life and afterlife. I am so grateful for the atonement. I am grateful for the still small voice that helps me daily to make better choices in my life. I am grateful for the power of prayer and for the blessings it brings to me and those around me. I am grateful he is and always will be apart of my life and for the guidance he brings to me daily.
I know this is a couple days early but I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving! I am Thankful to be friends with all of you.
