Family Pictures and "Thankful List"

Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow I wanted to write down some of the things I am THANKFUL for. There are SO many things I have been blessed with! I feel very fortunate in my life and am very grateful to my Father in Heaven who has given me so much. I am thankful for...

-My testimony of My Savior Jesus Christ who died for me so that I can come and live with Him and my Heavenly Father again. I know he lives and knows and loves ME, and that is the biggest blessing in my life!
-My wonderful husband! He is such a hard worker and provider, but is also a family man. I love him more than I can say, and I am so glad he is mine forever!
-My beautiful little girl...well worth the wait! She brings so much happiness into my life and teaches me everyday.
-My unborn baby...who kicked my hand this morning:) I can't wait to welcome you into our family!
-My parents, who have always given me so much. As a parent I can finally START to realize just how much work and worry and personal sacrifice goes into raising a family.
-Reed's parents, who have loved me and welcomed me into their family like I am one of their own. I am so glad Reed had parents like his to help him become the man that he is today.
-Our Grandparents. We love you and are so thankful you are still in our lives!
-Our brothers and sisters and in-laws...I am so thankful to have ALL of you(there are a lot) in my life, and to know we always have someone there.
-Our Friends! I am so glad that both Reed and I have such good friends who are great examples to us. We really do love you and are so lucky to have you and your little families in our lives.

Ok, so the list is getting long, but there is SO much more!! But these are some of the things that matter most to me, and that I could never put a price on. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for all the comforts and necessities in my life too...food, clothing, my home, cars, ext. But that's not what brings me happiness. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

FAMILY PICTURES...This year we had our family pictures taken by Reed's cousin Angie. Thank you Angie! She did such a good job, so I wanted to share some of our favorites...
