10 things I'm THANKFUL for..........

10. A nice hot jacuzzi at the end of a day...to help me relax and fall asleep
9. Stores that stay open at all hours and most days to help people like me. I must have gone to Walmart 5 times....for odds and ends and at the last, a frisbee!
8. Our wonderful home where we can have our family and friends over to enjoy an afternoon or a wonderful reception.
7. The gorgeous weather we have been having in Arizona. It was too hot to eat outside for Thanksgiving dinner, but just right to have a very intense game of soccer afterwards!
6. Our wonderful friends....I can't begin to explain how important they are to us! Most of our friends and some in particular are considered our family...they are that wonderful!!
5. Our grandparents - especially when they are asked to "change traditions"....that can be hard and scary....thank you so much for trying something new at your age!!!
4. Aaron's willingness to befriend anyone...and help others celebrate Thanksgiving. You will need to read his blog for all the details....he is VERY detailed! We love him and hope he doesn't freeze too much! We are so proud of him and also very thankful for a wonderful girl - Savannah - who makes him smile and loves him! Their wedding is just around the corner!!
3. Tyler and Jenny's decision to be sealed in the temple. They are having a blast...where ever they may be and we are SOOOOO happy for them!!
2. The rest of my family - Jacque, Aly and my best friend, Brad. They don't hardly get any credit for the wonderful dinners and socials we have at our house. They are the "behind the scene" crew. They help, run errends and put up with my bouts of stress. They clean, run errends (yes, I said that twice), and still look wonderful when the guests arrive. They are my super heroes. I love them dearly and count them as my dearest treasures!
1. The gospel of Jesus Christ - how wonderful it is. Our family is blessed because of the gospel. We have purpose and direction in our lives because of the gospel. Our dearest treasures are ours eternally because of the Gospel. My life is complete because of the Love of our Savior, His sacrifice and the restoration of His church.
