Thankful for ...

It's Sunday. Turkey day was almost four days ago - yet the last four days have just reaffirmed what I am grateful for.

1. Tyson. He has been so wonderful the last four days. With the big move in hand, it's like he knows we need to spend time with family.

2. Family. Duh right? But get this, I got to work out with Jael and Julio. Go to church with 80% of my family. Have delicious meals. Giggle really loud during sacrament and make wonderful memories - with who else, but family. God was smart to make the family unit the number one cornerstone to society.

3. Income. Heavenly Father has always provided for us. He is truly aware of our needs.

4. Primerica.

5. Good friends.

6. The Gospel.

7. A warm bed.

8. A good laugh.

9. Mentors and heroes.

10. Next year.

I realized that through our happy meetings these last couples of days, someone, somewhere will never has a 2010. I'm grateful for that chance.

11. Colorado (more to come later ...)

This year we had just our family over, but we still set the table as if it was for kings. We spent much needed time with Julio and walked him through his first break up. We went to church as a family, we loved as a family, heck we even argued as a family. Mom provided such a warm home for movies, games, laughs. Sometimes - while chasing massive succes .... look around and see the success you have in your hands. Family is something that money can't buy.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    When will you be making the move? I wish I could do something to help you. Is there any way? You will be a blessing and a joy to Colorado.

  3. Are you really moving to Colorado? Nick and I were talking about going there next if we can't get back to UT. Which part? Glad you had a good Thanksgiving pretty lady!
