30 Days of Gratitude - Day 11

Today is Veterans Day and I am grateful for the service that my brother and sister-in-law give each and every day.  Jeff and Emma, we love you!  

We are thankful to all those that have served our country!

30 Days of Gratitude - Day 10

I am so grateful for my sweet and sassy Grandma!  I am thankful that I had her for 42 years.  My whole life she made me laugh and smile every time I was around her.  She taught me about courage. And, she taught me how to rock a pair of leggings.

30 Days of Gratitude - Day 9

I am thankful for the 16 years that we had with this sweet, neurotic girl.

I still miss her...

And, that's all I have to say about that.

30 Days of Gratitude - Day 8

I am thankful for my dear, sweet Auntie Jan.  She is always happy to support her neice whenever I need a helping hand.  Whether it is big - like a place to stay on the weekends or small - like peddling Jonathan's band fundraiser.  She is there and we appreciate her and love her.  Plus, we all think she is super cool!  Too bad you don't have an Auntie Jan.  You don't know what you are missing!

30 Days of Gratitude - Day 7

I am thankful for dear old friends that dress up in silly clothes with you and are always good for a laugh.  

Everyone needs friends.

30 Days of Gratitude - Day 6

I am thankful for this sweet girl!  She makes my church calling super easy!  We have been Personal Progress buddies since she was a Beehive.  I've been working on my Medallion and she has been working towards her Honor Bee.

Today is Sydney's birthday and I hope she has the best birthday ever, because she deserves it!  She  has been making me smile and laugh since she was 13 yeas old.  More than that, she is a friend to everyone and an example of how we can be more Christlike.  I love Sydney and count her as one of my blessings!

30 Days of Gratitude - Day 5

I am thankful for this guy!  He is the best.  He rolls out of bed at 5:30 a.m. and takes Jonathan to seminary.  He volunteers as a Pit Crew Dad for Jonathan's band.  He is an amazing husband and dad.  He is Scoutmaster extraordinaire.  He is an awesome cook.  You name it.  He does it. (Well, he is really messy and doesn't pick up after himself.  Everyone has to have one shortcoming, right?)
