Giving Thanks

I know I'm a little bit late to be posting about Thanksgiving.  Better late than never.
We spent Thanksgiving Day with Nate's parents and sisters in Las Vegas.  It was a nice, peaceful day.  I even got a little nap on the couch while the kids played outside and Nate chatted with his parents.  I'm pretty sure part of their conversation centered around my lovely snoring.  I would be embarrassed, but I was exhausted, couldn't keep my eyes open, and was just overjoyed to get in a little snooze. 
The kids had a great time riding around on tricycles and the scooter.


We have so much to be thankful for this year.  I'll try to keep the list to a readable size....
We are thankful for:
  • Our Home---We are loving our new place here in St. George.  I'm thankful for the little luxuries that we now have that we didn't have before like a garbage disposal, pantry, ice maker, and air conditioner.   
  • Each Other---Every day I look at my little family and thank the Lord for sending them to me.  
  • Nate's Job---With so many out of work and struggling, we are truly blessed to have an income that meets our needs
  • Family & Friends--- So many loving people surround us and bless our lives every day
  • Education--- I'm so grateful that my children have a love of learning.
  • Our Faith--- As we go through life's ups and downs, triumphs and challenges, we are increasingly grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for our Savior' Atonement. We rely on our faith more and more as we raise our family and progress in our own personal spiritual journey.
