a grateful heart

as i have pondered over the past several days about all in my life that i am thankful for, i have realized more and more that it all involves my testimony, my Savior, my family and my friends. relationships are all that really matter. this year though, i would like to be specific about how grateful i am for my family!

my husband- the kindest, strongest, most caring MAN in the world, our children and our little granddaughter bring the joy in my life. spending time with them; having fun, working, relaxing, talking and whatever life brings us, is what makes life worth living!

my parents and jon's parents- are the most celestial people i have ever been around. how lucky we are to have had such wonderful parents to show us the way, and give so freely of their love and support through the years!

our brothers and sisters- are the funnest people on the planet. i love spending time with each of them and their husbands and wives. they are some of my bestest friends!

my nieces and nephews- again some of the funnest people on the planet. i look forward to every occasion that brings us together.

my nieces and nephews children- oh my gosh! these are really some of the most adorable children on the planet. they keep me grinning the entire time i am around them!

i believe i enjoy my extended family as much as my own, and i hope i always have opportunities to be with them! thanks for being my forever family!
