This year I am eternally grateful for my sweet husband. If you're lucky enough to know Joseph, you know what I mean when I say, he is kind, intelligent, talented, patient, loving, funny, and possibly the best person anyone could have as a friend. He has helped me more than he knows, and I will forever be in his debt.
I am thankful to have such a sweet mother! Marg is a blast to spend time with. She loves road trips, listens to her music just a little too loud, sings along to the music at the top of her lungs, and anytime I need someone to talk to, she's there for me. My mom and I have been through A LOT together; she isn't just my mom, she is my friend, and I treasure our friendship dearly.
I am grateful to have such a hardworking and sweet father. My dad has always been a quiet man, but he doesn't need to speak much to be heard. My dad loves his family, has always supported us in our decisions, and isn't too proud to let us know when he thinks we may be on the wrong road. My dad has always been a great example to me and I am blessed to have him in my life!
I am thankful for my sweet and loving in-laws: Mike and Cindy! They are so sweet, kind, and such a great example of service to me. They are always busy helping other people! They also spend a lot of time with our children, and I know Joseph and I always feel a wave of comfort when the kids call us when they're at their grandparents' house!
I am grateful for my sister in-law Tara. We hadn't really spoken in length to each other for several years, other than small talk at family parties. This summer we were able to put the past behind us and I have really enjoyed getting to know her again! She is so much fun and inspiring to me.
I have a very long list of wonderful friends that I'm lucky to have in my life. I am so thankful for my dear friend Stacey Tyler. She takes care of her three young children, teaches classes at Weber State, is currently in her Masters program at Weber State, is always busy with her family and church obligations, yet she still has time for her friends. We text each other at least 4 to 10 times a week! We keep in touch with each other's lives, and talk about whatever is on our minds at the time. Friends like this are hard to come by; we're all so busy with our lives, it's important to make sure the people you care about, know that you care about them. I love this woman with all my heart, and will always cherish her!
My cousin Kandin is another person I am grateful for! We talk every week about lives, goals, plans, current projects, or whatever is on our minds at the time. Sometimes it's nice to have a sounding board who is willing to tell you if you're off base, completely silly, or right on track. I am blessed to have her in my life!
These wonderful people are just a few of the great people I know and who I am very thankful for during this holiday season and always!
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
