Things I'm Thankful for in 2008

I've decided to write 27 things that I'm thankful for this year. I'm grateful for so many things and have been truly blessed. I know that life is hard and rarely works the way you plan it but in the end it always works out. How can we not be grateful.

1. Of course my Family!
2. Friends. I'm so lucky to have friends that I've had since I was a kid.
3. My Health. I could be healthier but I have overall good health.
4. The Gospel! I am so lucky to have it. The Atonement, the hope, it all just works.
5. Great Food. I'm serious! I love good food.
6. Crazy People, they make me feel so much more sane!
7. Water! Without it we'd die (that is what Seth told me on the way to school today)
8. Trees, especially in the Fall.
9. The Single's Branch. This is the craziest weirdest group but I love them. They have taught me so much
10. Cell Phones, cars, TV's, the internet, all these modern conveniences.
11. The boy advice that Ginny so freely gives me. Also the way she loves me so much. I love that she told me once that she hopes I never get married because then I would have to have my own kids and I would love them more than her.
12.That I get to ride with Seth on the way to school. He is such a good boy.
13. The way Aubree has the sweetness smile but and the wittiest comments. There isn't a day I'm with her that goes by that I don't laugh.
14. The way Sunday night Sydney spent the night with us and wanted to sleep with me. She cuddled right in. She is a hard one to win over but I'm slowly getting there. And she wanted to ride with me in the car on Monday!
15. Elle, because she is the silliest girl I know. She makes me laugh! She is one crazy girl.
16. For how Will smiles at me and will finally reach to come to me. What a sweet boy.
17. The way baby Chloe loves me so much. I'm serious about this, she LOVES me. I can already tell she's excited we live so close and she will more than likely get to see me on most days!
18. Obviously my neices and nephews.
19. That my brothers and Renee' all found great spouses! I love you guys! (don't tell Jake)
20. My Parents. I'm so lucky to have them. They taught us well and I'm still learning from them.
21. The hope of a better tomorrow
22. The Temple. I love attending! I look forward to being married there one day.
23. For Crayons. I love to color, it relieves stress!
24. That I have a job. I just found out that I at least have a job until May.
25. That I can read, write, see, hear, feel, and taste. This makes life better.
26. That I've had the opportunity to visit several friends this year.
27. That I'm alive and well
