So Thankful

Somehow, November just slipped by.

I feel like I totally missed most of it, except the last part.

But I was trying to be more aware of things that I am grateful for, so I'm just going to record some here.

BRIAN
Every day I feel more and more lucky that I got to marry this man. He is so good to me and he reminds me that he loves me every day.

MY FAMILY
Brian says that I always double my volume when I'm with my family, but I think that's just because we're always having so much fun and laughing and talking so much that you have to be louder to be heard. I love it!

BRIAN'S FAMILY
I love them for raising such a great son, and I love having so many more brothers. They keep things interesting.

FRIENDS
Old friends, new friends, our ward. I am so grateful for the old friends I can still hang out with and nothing has changed, and I'm grateful for the friends we've made in our ward that I already feel so close to. I hope those friendships last long after we all move out.

MY JOB
Though I have times where I'm ready to be done working, I really am grateful for the job I have. I love the days when I go in and get everything done and feel like I know exactly what I'm doing. I love solving problems and having my boss be happy with the work I've done. I also appreciate that this job has supported us through all 3 1/2 yrs of marriage and has allowed Brian to focus on school instead of stressing him out even more to try and work while doing Architecture.

OUR HOME
While there are many things I can complain about my where we live, (such as the tile floors, and the poor insulation, etc.) I think I need to focus on the good things. Like how I can plug the vacuum into the outlet in the bathroom and reach all rooms without unplugging. :) Seriously, I really am grateful for our home. It's tiny, but cozy. It's not easy to decorate, but I don't decorate anyway. :) And it's where we've formed lots of our first memories as a couple. It's weird to think that all events we're celebrating this year are our last ones in the Village.

MY SAVIOR
I am so grateful for my Savior and all He has done for me. I'm grateful for the Atonement and my knowledge of His love for me. I know that I am so blessed and I'm so glad that when hard things come my way, I can turn to him for comfort and strength to get through them. I am thankful that I have this gospel in my life and that because of it I can live with my husband forever.
