November is about Gratitude


Okay, so I am stealing this idea from Erin and Alisha. Hope you don't mind, but you are both so wonderful and have such great ideas. So, I am starting out a few days late on this, but here it goes... 1st: I am grateful for a loving husband that holds the priesthood of God. Jared is a wonderful husband and a terrific father. He does so much between work, teaching, going to school, trying to find something fun for himself and his new church calling. All of these things he does for our family. I love to watch him play with the kids on the bed, pretend he is a kitty for Sabrina to pet, hide from the kids and tickle them. He just naturally falls into his new roll of 2nd counselor. He is a wonderful leader and I am excited about his opportunity to share his testimony of the gospel, learn from those he serves with and have wonderful spiritual experiences. I love him and and grateful that he loves me for who I am.







2nd: I am grateful for Caleb. What a wonderful little boy he is and he is turning into a wonderful young man. I can't believe that he is already 8. He has such a sweet and giving spirit. He trys hard to do what is right and loves to help his friends at school, and his teachers. He is tender hearted and has a great superman curl. I love that smile and it is always so readily available when I need to see it. I love to make him laugh and he always makes me laugh. I couldn't have asked for a better #1 son. I love you Caleb and am grateful that Heavenly Father trusted you to my care. Thank you for blessing my life.


3rd: I am grateful for a wonderful mother that is my best friend. I love living close to her and doing lost of things with her each week. She has always been a huge influence in my life and has taught me what's important. She continues to teach me the gospel through example. I am blessed to have her in my life and don't know what I would do without her. I turn to her for advice for everything in my life and it is so great that we can laugh together. I love you mom and always look up to you. Thank you for teaching me what is right and for being there for me always. You are the best!!
