Many Thanks

It has been about a month since we have added anything new to our blog, so I thought I would use Thanksgiving as an excuse. Our little family has been going through some rough patches lately, but through it all we have so many things that are good and that we are thankful for. Yesterday we ate Thanksgiving dinner with Ben's dad and it was good. Before we ate we went around the table and had to say something we are thankful for, so I thought I would share some of our thoughts. Ben and I have been talking a lot lately about what is the most important things in this life, and we think family, the gospel and our health is at the top of our list. We have been going through experiences lately that change your view on life and your priorities. What we want from our future has changed somewhat. I am so thankful for our three amazing kids. Everyone of them has amazing and special talents that add so much to our family. I am so thankful I am their mom and get to see things and experience things with them that others don't. Ben and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary a little while ago and since then I have thought a lot about our life together. I am so thankful for Ben and all he does for me and our kids. I always feel so blessed that he is in my life. I sometimes feel a little guilty for how good our marriage and life is. Ben and I have something that not many people get to experience and how thankful I am for that. We don't know exactly what the future hold for us or where we are going to be in a year, but I know that as long as I have Ben and my kids we will be happy. We are so thankful for all of our friends and family. It seems that everyone is getting spread over miles, but how thankful we are for your friendships, love and support. I want to let my mom, Jandi, Katie, and my sister Dayna know how thankful I am to them(but I am still jealous of Katie, and Jandi right now). You guys are awesome and you make my life brighter. Thank you for your friendship and love. You have helped me more than you know lately! Thank you.
