Happy Thanksgiving 2011

This morning before I go to work and with it being Thanksgiving tomorrow I want to continue my tradition of writing down some of the things that I'm so grateful for. Tomorrow we'll be at Jared and Kristi's place along with Shana and Jake and kids. Troy and Kori will be in Calif. with her family. I wish we could all be together but when the kids get married that's what happens.

First and foremost is my family. Roger, Jared, Shana, Troy, Kristi, Jake, Kori, Brayden, Daxton, Presley, Hadley, Makinley, Gentry, Easton, Colby and Adaline. I'm in awe of them as I look at how well they're doing in raising their children. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father chose me to be their mother.

I'm grateful for my siblings. Geri, Larry, Kayleen, Cyndee and Jim.

I'm grateful for the gospel. The happiness it can bring in your life if you live the way you should.

I"m grateful for my friends. They've helped me through many, many things in my life.

I'm grateful for my parents who have since passed on many years ago. I've been praying that they would be with me this holiday season in spirit.

I'm grateful for my job. I'd love to be retired but I can't so I'm thankful I have insurance too.

I'm grateful for my home, our good health, a warm bed to sleep in at night. There are so many things I could list but don't have time.

I pray for those who don't have family or friends to gather with at this time.

Happy Thanksgiving...
