Giving Thanks!

Things I am most thankful for in no particular order

My Bed = Sounds crazy I know but I have one of those beds that go up and down so I can sit up or lay down or put my feet up. Not only that, it is so soft and comfortable. It was well worth the boatload of money we spent on it last year.

My House = I love my great big, expensive to cool and heat, in constant need of repair, never all clean at once, money pit. (by the way I love that movie) It is all ours and there is room for everyone to come over.

My kids = As kids go I have it made! They are “The Best” as nacho would say. They keep me laughing from sun up to...well, sun up. They even crack each other up. I love them all so much and am grateful for every moment I am aloud to have with them. I can't wait to see what the future holds for each of them. And they are so dang cute!

Cool Weather = I'll take all the heat that can be dished out in anticipation of another Arizona Winter.

Sweet Tomato – Always a Happy Place! Kind of like Disneyland without the rides, long lines, Mickey, places to spend a ton of money, Okay, not really like it at all.

My Mountains – In two hours tops I can be surrounded by tall pines. I feel so close to my Heavenly Father when I am there. If I ever have a bad day, I can just close my eyes, relax, and I am there.

My Sweet Hubby – I don't have words to describe how lucky I am in that department. I am married to my best friend! His goal in life seems to be to make me happy. He would do anything I ask, anytime, anywhere. He makes me laugh. He takes away my fears.

My Job – Since I work for myself I can give myself time off whenever I want. My shop is in my home and my family comes and talks to me and keeps me company all the time. Russ lays on the floor to talk after a hard day, everyone seems to drift in throughout the day, it is a nice place to be.

Movies – I love them all. Nothing makes me happier than watching one I haven't seen. There are so many out there and so little time. Old. New. They are all my friends. I could tell my Mom the title of any old movie and she could tell me who was in it and what it was about. Her favorite magazine was People but she wouldn't let us tell anyone that, she hid them, we got her a years subscription for Christmas and she was so mad because the postman would know she read it! Maybe, I get my love from her, ya think?:)

Ben and Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream – Strawberries and graham cracker crust, little nuggets of goodness! I don't eat much Ice Cream(we won't go into that) but when I do...this is the one!

My Father In Heaven – My testimony of the gospel makes every day worth living. How lucky am I to have the knowledge of the gospel, to know that I am loved and protected! To have a Father in Heaven who really knows me and accepts me anyway.

People ask me why I'm always smiling, well, there you have it!
