Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I am grateful for so much! I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for ALL I am blessed with. I have a warm and cozy house and I don't have to pay rent anymore! I have a really handsome, hot, loving, funny best friend that also happens to be my husband and he treats me like a queen! I love him! I have the best family ever! I love them so much and I know that they would do anything to help me. I have 3 of the cutest babies in the world for nieces and 5 super cute and fun nephews and I love them all more than I ever thought I could. I have really good friends that are always there to make me laugh or to help us out. I have a really rewarding job that I look forward to going to most days and get to work with and help the sweetest kids on the planet. I know that all I have comes from the Lord and I am so blessed to have the knowledge of the gospel. I am grateful for the knowledge of my Savior, who comforts me and loves me. We have the means to put food on our table and I know that there are so many out there who aren't able to say that. I just feel so lucky this year. It makes me want to help out as many people as I can! My brother-in-law Paul suggested that our family start a family tradition this year of finding a charity or someone in need and helping them out, so if you know of anyone that needs something, let me know! I remember one year in high school my friends and I did a sub for Santa and we all pitched in a LOT of stuff and went together to drop it off on their porch. Man, I can still remember that feeling that I had. It's so awesome to help others.
Anyway, I just wanted to take some time to reflect on all that I am blessed with and make sure that I don't take it for granted. I know I am so lucky!

p.s. I promise that I will post pictures of our house soon!!

You could try the Utah Youth Village, all of our kids have Sub for Santa, I don't know if they have already gotten people for them or not but you could try.

I loved when we did that sub for Santa! I still think about it sometimes too! It made my heart happy! Spencer and I need to come and see your house! I hear it is really cute!
