o give thanks...

just a few reasons i have to give thanks...

1. Edward--he is the greatest husband ever...most of all, for putting up with me lately---my random crying bouts that last for hours that i can't explain, back pains and leg craps at 4 am, tossing and turning in bed cause anywhere i lay--mackenzie kicks the crap out of me, wanting to sleep all day, lack of cleaning the house, and lack of making meals...just to name a few...he hasn't complained and he is always finding ways to make me happy and comfortable.. what a champ.

2. being a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.  even though i am overwhelmed with being called to the YWs presidency and being in charge of BEEHIVES!!! AND still haven't been released from teaching the 5 year olds in primary... hmm hopefully they release me soon or i will have to figure out how to gain super powers to be in two places at once....and along with all that thankful for my temple marriage and being sealed to my family, the scriptures, and prophets---both past and present---that help guide me everyday.

3. my family... they are the greatest... all of them...they are my best friends.. i am glad they like me now.. even if i wasn't a boy... sorry mare.

4. for having a wonderful pregnancy... sorry to all my friends and family who go through 9 months of puking and feeling awful.  i have been blessed to not experience that.  i am so thankful i am going to get to be a mom soon and meet my little girl...in a short 11 weeks!  good thing i have great examples to look at because my mom and sister are AWESOME moms.

5. for ed and i both having good jobs, a house to live in, plenty of food to eat, and clothes to wear.

i could go on and on because i have endless things to be thankful for... i need to remember to be more thankful everyday and not just this time of the year, but i am glad we have this time of the year so it can remind me to stop complaining and realize how blessed i really am.
