Thanksgiving 2011

Things I'm thankful for:

(1) Curtis- He is my rock and my best friend. He is such a hard-worker and awesome daddy. He truly was meant for me!

(2) My kids- My kids are my life and I love my life with them! I cherish them and I love them both so much! I'm thankful my Heavenly Father gave them to me and Curtis. I am also thankful for the guardian angels that watch over them (especially Landon) and keep them safe from harm.

(3) Family- I have an awesome family (my family and Curtis's family). Both of our families are very supportive and love the grandchildren more than you can imagine. 

(4) My Testimony- I'm grateful for the Church in my life. I have a testimony of its truthfulness that grows everyday. I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know my Heavenly Father has a purpose for me and if I follow Jesus' example and teach my children the things the Prophets have taught us that we will all be together for eternity and I couldn't ask for more. 

(5) Friends- This is year was a bittersweet one for our family. Curtis and I moved our family across the country and left our friends and his family. When we got to Florida we were both emotionally drained from the tears we shed. However, we both know this is where we need to be and we are happy adjusting to farm life!

I assembled a Black Friday team this year (so I could get EVERYTHING on my list). Dad gave us some Valley View shirts at dinner and we decided that we would all go matching together. Not pictured: Maggie, Mannie, Jacob, Morgan, Derek, Chris. (Yes, I had a very big team!) We started at 7pm and all got home about 5am. We had so much and got EVERYTHING and them some on our list. It was awesome. By the way, we host "try-outs" for next year's team if you'd like to turn in an application just email it to me ;) HAHA!
