Happy Thanksgiving

I know it has been a long time since I last wrote. So much has happened in the past year that I should have been on here almost everyday. However, I just didn't have the energy, but I'm really going to do better...starting now.

I have so much to be thankful for, just like I always do, but this year I'm  even more so. Here is my list (and I know I've missed some)
  • Carl, my wonderful husband, whom without, I wouldn't be able to make it through this trial. Thank you for loving me and showing me what true charity means. You are my hero! 
  • being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints 
  • The Atonement
  • The trials in my life that have taught me
  • The Priesthood and a worthy husband who can use it
  • our families
  • My testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel 
  • being an aunt
  • The Temple
