Day 1: i am thankful for my husband Mark. He works so hard to provide for our family. He is a great dad and husband. He makes me laugh and holds me when i am sad. He is worthy to hold the priesthood and blesses our family with it. I couldn't imagine my days without him.
Day2: i am thankful to be a mom. My days are not perfect neither am I or my girls but i am thankful to have the opportunity to be a mother. I am grateful for the experiences i have as a mom and the chance i have to learn and grow from them. I am excited, nervous and happy to be expecting twins and know that with the Lords help i will make it :)
Day 3: i am thankful for tessa. she loves to have fun. she is learning things everyday. She loves to sing and dance, color and draw. I am excited to see her grow. She loves her sister and can bug her sister just the same. I hope she will be excited for the twins and want to help. She still loves to cuddle and tell me “ i love you mommy.”
Day 4: i am thankful for mallory. she is spunky! Mark often asks “where did she come from?'”. She loves to dance, color and draw like tessa. She has a temper which she doesn’t get from me :) She loves to play with friends. She is stingy with her “i love You”s but she loves to be held. she is adventurous and loves her big sister.
day 5: i am thankful for good friends. my friends help, love and respect me and my family. some of us are in the same boat (parents of young children) and others haven’t begun that chapter but we still find time maybe not as often but time to do things together. we worry for each other and want only the very best for one another. I love my friends!
day 6: i am thankful for jobs/careers. i was blessed to be able to be a teacher for a few years and i have both fond and not so fond memories. I am thankful for the countless jobs that Mark and I have had to help provide for our family. I am super grateful that Mark has a career he loves and that he is pursuing a masters degree to help him in his career.
day 7: i am thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. it has guided me and upheld me more times than i can count. i know that the gospel is true. i know that i am a daughter of God. i know that families can be forever. I know that by attending the temple it can bless me and my family. i am thankful for all the church callings i have ever had.
day 8: i am thankful for family pizza and movie night which is every Friday. It is fun to have a dinner that i don't struggle to get my girls to eat and then to share a movie with them as we snuggle on the couch.
