The Many things I am Thankful for

I can't believe we are getting to the end of 2008 already. Wow time flies when you get old. As I have been thinking about Thanksgiving I have asked myself "What am I Thankful for?" Maybe I have never really thought about that question. I am getting older and maybe a little more sentimental. So to answer that question. I am thankful for my family. My girls that are so cute and love me no matter how grumpy I get. They are both healthy and happy. They are also best friends. My husband who loves me no matter what. He is not afraid to put me in my place, when needed. He is a hard worker and takes very good care of us. He is funny, but serious when he needs to be. I am thankful for my parents who raised me to know who I am and not wish I was someone else and to like myself and enjoy life. I am thankful for my in laws that raised such a wonderful son. He is who he is today because of them and I am thankful for that. I am thankful for my sisters. They are fun to be with and talk to even after the 50th phone call in one day. My brother and sister in laws are the best too. I enjoy the times we get to spend together, and the lessons I have learned from everyone of them. The many friends I have. They are always there to offer a lending hand. They make me laugh and cry. They are still my friends when they see my "other side". My job I have that allows me to do the fun and crazy things it allows me to do. The many material things I have. My home (have I mentioned lately I love my house) My car that is dependable. Music, I love to hear Brandon and the girls "rocking out" I catch myself laughing all by myself. Tinker is my little shadow I am never alone. I am sure there are many other things. But most of all I am thankful for the Savior and what he has done for me. My family and friends, and my health. If you are reading this, know that you are a someone that I can call a friend and I love you all.
Remember the things you have that other don't and be Thankful this Holiday Season!!!!
