Gratitude

I'm feeling grateful.

Grateful that we spent a fabulous Thanksgiving day at the McBride home where we're always happily welcomed, spoiled, and completely doted on the entire stay.

Grateful that Robert's family is so kick-butt cool that I love hanging out with all of them. (This really is the truth!)

Grateful that the whole fam. looked rad sporting our Sophia t-shirts in honor of talented Uncle Josh and his killer band.

Grateful that I have an amazing mother in law who makes everything from scratch, including rolls, pies, and even pumpkin pie from the pumpkins she grew herself. This lady is so talented yet humble and good. She is selfless and continuously serves others and her family like no one else I know. She even got up at 4:30 a.m. and hit the sales with me, just so I wouldn't have to go alone. I could go on and on about her. I aspire to be just like her some day!

Grateful for Robert and my little family whom I love so much, and that currently... everyone is healthy and well.

Grateful for good friends who love me in spite of all my many, many flaws.

Grateful for the gospel that is my foundation, my rock, and my one, true source of peace and comfort.

Grateful that Robert has a good job and works hard to support and take care of us.

Grateful for my parents who did their best to raise me up right.

Grateful for three brothers and their families, whom I love and would do anything for.

Grateful to be a mother and for three kids who bring me joy every day.

Grateful that we were able to go the BSU game and watch them win the WAC championship. This sounds ridiculous, I know, but I love football, BSU, spending time with our friends, laughing and cheering and getting out of control! It makes me feel young again....and that's a good feeling!

Grateful for opportunities to be inspired everyday by others who make me want to be and live better.

Grateful for good books.

Grateful for free education.

Grateful for a home.

Grateful for a passion for running....my healthy outlet.

For these things and so much more.....

I'm feeling grateful.
