ah, well...

So, as you may have noticed, I've been blogging.... ah well.... I've been waiting for Matt to do the next post (he said i'm a Post stealer) but he doesn't ever blog (hopefully he doesn't have one he's working on right now). It's okay, I wanted to post my gratefulness. I know recently I posted a thankemony of alot of things but being in the Thanksgiving season I figured I'd post a few more. Matt can still post this too, he may have some that differ....





1. My mom. My mom is awesome. If you've ever met my mom, then you know. She's ALWAYS there for me when I need her, and of course, even if I don't. She's probably the most charitable person I know. She doesn't think twice about giving to people or doing things for them when she can tell they need it most. I'm grateful for this example of Christ Like Love that she displays. I love you, mom!



2. My husband. Where would I be without him. He's my anchor. He tells me things that I need to hear especially when I don't want to hear them. He truly is my very best friend and my partner. He's perfect for me in every way, I love you so much, Matt!



3. Millie Bear. Yup, My dog. And yes, you can put her on your list, too. She's pretty cool, but mainly, the sweetest loving thing EVER in the whole wide world!!! If you've met her, you know.



4. My Calling. If you don't know, I currently serve in our Stake Young Women Presidency, and I L-O-V-E it! I'm grateful for the challenges that it brings, I'm grateful for the people that I serve with, and for the opportunity to build great relationships with people I love so much (YW!).



5. My Car. Even though the A/C can't stay working (which reminds me, I'm also grateful that summer is over) and I have a short somewhere which in turn makes my radio not work, I'm grateful for my little 14 year Honda. She just keeps chuggin, which is really helpful since we're trying to save up money for our house......



6. Our almost done home! yeah.... It's supposed to be done the first week of January, and I'm SO excited! Mainly for our own space again....



7. DisneyWorld! I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to go. It was such a fun vacation that Matt and I desperately needed.



8. Temples. I'm SO very grateful for temples and everything about them. I'm truly blessed to be sealed for time and for ALL eternity to my wonderful husband. I'm grateful for the spirit that I can feel there, and how much I can feel my Savior's love when I'm there.



9. Pies. yeah... especially the chocolate ones... :)



10. Family. I'm grateful for such a wonderful support group. My immediate and extended as well as Matt's immediate and extended. I love them all SO much!!!



11. My job. I'm grateful for my promotion as well. I like my job, it's worth the drive (on most days). I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to advance to supervisor and to do something I'm good at.



12. Lisa Coonrod. She'll probably never read this, but I'm VERY grateful for her. She's such a great mentor. I'm so fortunate to have had a manager like her. She's great!



13. A Living Prophet. I'm grateful for Thomas S. Monson. I'm grateful to have someone to help lead and guide our church under the direction of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm grateful the modern and continuing revelation we have and for the testimony building it does.



14. Christmas! I'm grateful for Christmas and how quickly it's approaching. I, of course, like getting gifts, but I really like the whole spirit of the season. I like to give gifts. I like the Christmas Music and the occassions and just everything about it.



15. My Dad. I'm grateful for my dad. He's such a hard worker and does everything he can to provide for my family. (Well, I'm not at home anymore, but things are still provided :) )

16. Jesus Christ. My Lord and Savior. I am SO very grateful for him and for the atonement. He provided a way for me to become perfect like he. He is allowing me to return to my loving Father in heaven and I am so so so grateful for that.

17. Heavenly Father. I'm grateful for a Heavenly Father that really loves me. I'm grateful that I know I am a child of God. I'm grateful that I can pray to my Heavenly Father and that he will answer my prayers in the best way, because he really knows what's best for me!

18. Friends. I'm grateful for my friends and for the support and love and happiness they give me. Thanks y'all!

Well, this is obviously not my WHOLE list of thankfulnesses.... but it's a start. Count your blessings and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
