In Everything...Give Thanks!!

Okay...so I missed a few days of my own tag! Lame :) But to finish it up, I am thankful for life! You know, I never fully understood how people could say that they are thankful for everything, including their trials and hardships. I think I'm begining to understand it...I truely am grateful for everything in my life! If I didn't have trials, and didn't have hard things to face in life, I would not be the person I am today, and would not have the testimonyof my Savior like I do! I will be forever grateful to have a greater understanding of the atonement of Jesus Christ and the power that it holds for each of us! Not only for those times that we need to be forgiven, but for our times of heartache and pain as well. I am thankful for the knowledge that I have to know that, and to have the freedom in this world to be able to live according to that knowledge! We are so blessed to have so many freedoms in this country! I am thankful for all of the other single moms (or who were at one point) for all of their encouraging words and advice! (especially Kelly...you're amazing and I am forever indebted to you!) I am thankful for my three wonderful, energetic kids!! Life would be so empty without them! They are my LIFE!!!! I am thankful for parents and siblings who are always there for me, and who are sooooooo supportive of everything I do! I have the BEST family EVER!!! I am just thankful for my life...I really have a great life!!

Today...

I am thankful for HEALTH!! I know I shouldn't even say it, because once I do it will jinx us, but oh well!! Every one in our home is healthy right now, and I am so grateful for that!! I hate when we all start getting little colds, and flu bugs! Truthfully, I am extremely lucky to be one of those people who rarely get sick, which is awesome...but even worse than getting sick is having one of your kids get sick! So here's to a Healthy Holiday Season!!! Hopefully we can keep the bugs away! :)

MMmmm!!

FOOD... today I am thankful for food!! Seriously, when you think about it, we are so blessed to have so many choices of things to eat! You go to the grocery store, and have soooo many different options of things you can buy to eat!! I love all different kinds of foods, and am really grateful to be able to enjoy so much! :)

In case anyone wonders where they can get this fabulous meal... It's at the country club in Price, and was prepared by the FaBuLouS chef, R.P.!!
