Thankful!!

I am thankful for a wonderful and loving husband, who is supportive, and makes me feel more protected, valued, and loved than I could've ever imagined. He is funny, smart, hard working, selfless, the best father in the world. I could go on about his wonderful qualities for hours. He loves me for me, despite my faults, and it is unconditional. For that, I am grateful.
In this picture it is my 3 oldest who keep me on my toes, incredibly busy, and teach me more about love, patience, and kindness than a mother could ask for. Today we made an apple pie from scratch for the first time and in the picture is the end result. In front of each of them, is a tiny child-like loaf of bread that they were giving away to each child at the grocery store today. I thought they were really cute.

A beautiful new life sent down to me. Innocent, and perfect in every way. She is my peace at this time in my life. I love her more than I can say.
I am grateful for extended family, and friends who support us everyday, and help us out in times of need.
I am grateful to live in America. Although we face a huge economic crisis at this time, we have it so much better than most countries in this world. Shelter, food, warmth, and a million luxuries that so many people never experience.
Most of all I am grateful for the gospel in my life, and my Savior Jesus Christ. I feel his love for me, and know he died for my sins. He loves each one of us more thatn we can comprehend. I can't imagine my life without my faith, and the freedom to practice it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
