Thanksgiving has always been one of my very favorite holidays! My very favorite part is when you go around the table & everyone says what they're thankful for. Unfortunately, at my parents house this year the siblings were scattered at in-laws & our thanksgiving table wasn't as full as we would've hoped. We missed our tradition of thankfulness! (Luckily, my in-laws have the same tradition, so I didn't miss out completely!!) So, I'd like to take the opportunity to share what I'm thankful for!

• FaMiLy: I am so lucky to have such great relationships with all of my family member! Brothers, Sister-in-laws, Lil' Sis EMILY, parents, ALL my in-laws! Boe & I are so blessed to have such a great support system around us!
• FrIeNdS: This year I am grateful for friends old & new! I have been wonderfully surprised at the friends I've made in my ward & the great people I've been able to meet! I've also enjoyed the friendship of my life long friends that have increased through time & trials! I love you all!
• ChUrCh: Here's my molly Mormon moment... I truly am grateful for the gospel & the opportunities I've been giving to really stretch myself this year! For those who don't know, I've been serving in the Young Women's & what seemed like an impossible calling for me has become more of a blessing to me then I ever thought possible! I hope I never forget the moment when I felt like I was truly an instrument in Heavenly Father's hands to be there for his Daughters at a moment when their hearts were open to hear. I am grateful to be giving the opportunity to serve. I believe you learn the most about yourself as you serve others.
• WoRk: Now here is a new one for me... this year the economy has put a lot of stress on the Title industry. There have been many days where I thought that I wouldn't have a job come Monday. So, I am grateful I still have a job. I'm grateful that we have been able to provide for our needs!
• BoE: I have the sweetest husband in whole world! I have been thinking a lot lately about how much I truly love Boe! When we were engaged I thought that it wasn't possible for me to love someone more then Boe & I loved each other. I am grateful to learn that I was wrong. It is amazing to me that the longer your married the more in LOVE you fall!

Well, I hope you all take a moment to think about the things you are grateful for this holiday season!
