Wow! I really need to catch up because there is so much to be thankful for in my life.
Thanksgiving Day 18: I am grateful for memories. We have made so many wonderful memories with so many different friends and family!! I can't wait to see what other memories are in store. I love picking up my blog books and reading about all our adventures, or flipping through the dozens of scrapbooks I have and seeing all the amazing pictures and milestones that are in them!! I am so grateful to have those memories that will last for years to come.
Thanksgiving Day 19: I am grateful for community. There has been such an outpouring of prayer and concern for our little family. People come up to me all the time and say they are praying and fasting for our family. I love our community and the love and concern everyone has for us.
Thanksgiving Day 20: I am grateful for good friends. One of my other posts talked about my best friend Holly, but I am so very grateful for all the good friends I have. I seriously love, love, love spending time with them. I love the psych parties and dinners we have, the love sitting on the porch swing talking with them, I love how they can make me feel that everything is going to be all right. I love my friends and I am so grateful I have the greatest friends in the world.
Thanksgiving Day 21: I am grateful to be an Aunt. I LOVE getting prank calls from my teenage nephews. I LOVE watching my toddler neices twirl around and dance like princesses. I LOVE holding my infant neices and nephews. And most of all, I LOVE giving them back to their parents when they are cranky, stinky, or otherwise unpleasant. Seriously, it is the best. I can get them all crazy and running around and then I can just head home. I love that when I walk through the door they run up to me and want me to hug them and chase them and play with them. It’s the best!!
Thanksgiving Day 22: I am grateful for this guy: 
My love, my life, my one and only POOKIE!
He has done so much for me and gives me more than I could ever give in return. He is the best man in the world. He loves me for me and will do anything to make me smile. I love him so much and he definitely makes the ride worthwhile.
Thanksgiving Day 23: I am grateful for the scriptures. How can I say how truly grateful I am for the scriptures? They have given me so much: answers to my prayers, direction on teaching my family, but most importantly PEACE. It amazes me that I can read a passage I have read countless time before yet, somehow it reaches me on a different level and fills my soul with PEACE. It is truly one of the greatest gifts from Heavenly Father. In the pages of the scriptures I can find everything that I need to navigate this crazy world. Heavenly Father hasn’t left us to do it alone, he has given us a guide and that is the scriptures.
Thanksgiving Day 24: Finally, today on Thanksgiving, I am grateful for my Savior: 
He has given me something no one else could, Eternal Life. He has paid the price for my sins through drops of blood. He is the only one who suffered as I have suffered and knows EXACTLY how to help me through. He is the one who provided the way. The way to happiness. The way to peace. The way to eternity with my family. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and may we all remember to live a life full of Thanksgiving!!

It's amaazing how much the little things can really add up in our lives. The big things make a huge impact as well. I love you sweetheart and I love that you look for ways to show and be grateful. I am grateful for you and all the things that you do for me and for our family. There is nobody else that I would want to enjoy the ride of life with but you.
It is a good thing to take time and really think about all the wonderful things we have and be thankful for them. My life has been blessed also and I am grateful for lessons learned and in the process. I love my family and are so grateful that we can share this life with each other.
