Thanksgiving List

This is one of my favorite posts to post. I get to reflect on the past year and just the many blessings in my life, which in turn always makes me feel good and like I have accomplished something.


Thanksgiving list

I am so Grateful for:

-this past year and all the great things it has brought

- Daryl being done with School and that he Graduated with his masters, that is a big accomplishment

-moving and the growing experience it has been for me

-Daryl's job and the security that it provides for us

-Our new ward and their warm welcome, we really love our ward, they are what some call a ward family, they are the best

-The Friends we have made here and how much fun we have with them

-The wonderful home that we have been able to buy on our own, and the blessing that it is to feel like you are doing something good with our money

-The two vehicles we have that get us from here to there with little problems

-Insurance and the security that it gives to us to know that if anything were to really happen we are covered
-My husband and the amazing man that he is, he helps me more than any other husband I know and although he thinks I take advantage of him I really do appreciate all he does for me and our family

-My calling as the young Women Advisor for the Mia maids, I love the women I work with and the young women have taught me so much about myself and just life, weird how someone who barely has life figured out can teach you about it.

-The priesthood that Daryl holds and the blessing it is to have the knowledge of it in the church

-The restored Gospel and the knowledge that, that provides

-My Father in Heaven who knows me and loves me

-The Savior Jesus Christ and his love for me

-Paiglee and the energy ball that she is, she is the best little person ever, she amazes me at who she is becoming, I love her to pieces

-My body and the functionality that I have to do pretty much whatever I want with it, (exercise wise that is )

-Mine and Daryl's families, we receive so much support from them and we appreciate it very much

-I guess I am just very grateful

I could go on and on, but I think I got the gist of it all down, sometimes when you really sit and think you realize how much you really do have to be thankful for and it seems that your cup runneth (sp) over, I know mine sure does. I am just so grateful for this time of year to reflect on all that I am blessed with and to be able to spend it with family and friends.


Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hey, this is Blake and Christy Crossley...we found your blog off of Aunt Jennifer's blog. Thought we'd jot a note and say hi. Saw that you know the Will and Fara...tell them we say hi (Fara will know me Christy as Christy Lynn-we were neighbors for a while growing up) and Blake tutored Will at Northwest.
