Oh What a Wonderful Morning

OK, so it isn't really morning, it is 9:31 at night and like a goon I am playing on the computer waiting for my dear sweet husband to come along home after his seriously crazy long day of work. I have decided that I am truly thankful for all that I have. Here is a list in no particular order. I am thankful for a husband who loves me and makes sure our needs are met. For a mother who raised me and taught me what is important in life and how to be the best me. For siblings that are my best friends and I know they are always there for me. For our home and our jobs and that we can be self sufficient. For good friends who have helped me to stay on the straight and narrow. For in-laws that took me in and accepted and loved me with no questions asked. For our working vehicle. To live so close to the temple. To live close enough to my brother and his family that a day trip is not out of the question. For a lovely little woman named Aldana who has lightened my load and has become a sister to me. For the computer, telephones, television and electric appliances. For indoor plumbing. For all my neices and nephews that are so sweet and teach me in their sweet innocence what life should be about. For the pain and struggles that have helped me develop empathy. For the joy and light that allow me to have peace. For warm cozy blankets. For sisters who encourage me and that I can tell anything too. For brothers who protect me and push me to be better. For my job and the people I work with. For knowing that the Lord loves us and will never abandon us. For knowing that we have the restored gospel on the earth. For opportunities to talk about my faith. For others who are open to the spirit and can guide me. For a husband that holds his role as the head of our family proudly. For knowing that no matter how homesick and distant I feel, a good friend is just on the other end of the phone. For our callings in church. For this beautiful world that the Lord provided for us. For Amber and Craig that bring happiness and reason (and let's not forget desert) to us. For a Savior who died for us. For our ancestors who came before and started the road which we are on. For chocolate. For popcicles. We are truly blessed and thank you to all of you that have played a role in getting us to where we are. You are all so important to us. You inspire us and encourage us, uplift and test us, but most importantly you have loved us. We love you dearly and hope that every once in a while you can catch a glimpse of the good you do for those around you.
