30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 5

Day 5 - Today I am thankful that I was born an American and that I get to live in the amazing country. I used to take for granted being an American and having the freedoms that we have. However when I got married and the mister joined the military I quickly discovered how much I truly do love being an American!

We were stationed in Germany for four years and although Germany is similar to America, it is not the same. I grew to love and miss my great nation. I was so happy to be an American and I was so proud that I was married to someone that loved his country just as much.

I have so much honor and respect for our country, I am so thankful that I am an American and that my children were born in such a great Nation where they can be free and be free to make their own decisions and choices in life.

I am thankful to be an American! God bless America!

30 Day's of Thankfulness in November - Day 4

Day 4 - Today I am thankful for my faith. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I am proud of that! I am so grateful that I can be part of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the Earth today. I take great comfort in knowing that our families can be together forever and that keeps me going on the not so good day's. I know that our Prophet Thomas S. Monson is called of God and that he leads our church today. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it was written by prophets of God. I know that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the church to the Earth in this dispensation. I know that our Heavenly Father loves me and wants what is best for me. He is a loving, kind, and just God.

I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 3

Day 3 - Yes you counted that right. I have five kids and today I am so thankful for each and everyone of them! I am so grateful that I get to wake up everyday and be the mother to these five beauties. I couldn't think of anything else that I would rather be doing then to be their mother. Being a mom has brought so much joy and happiness to my life and that is all because of these five smiling faces.

It is amazing how different each of them are, yet how they are all the same. They can brighten the sad days and put a smile on my face. I love all of their innocence and most of all watching them explore this world and learn new things.

I am so grateful to have each and everyone of them in my life and I am so thankful that they are mine!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 2

Day 2 of my thankful journey this month! I don't think that I could start off this month of thankfulness without having my hubby right there on the top of the list! Yup that's him the one and only! And I think that it is fair to say that there is one and only one Travis like mine out there. 

I have been so blessed to be married to my best friend in the whole world for fourteen years. It seem like just yesterday we met and here we are fourteen years and five kids later and still going strong.

Fourteen years ago I was on a date with another guy hiking up Bell canyon and we ran into Travis and his brother who were also hiking the canyon. So we decided to all hike together and enjoy each others company. Well one tricky slip of the phone number (so my date didn't notice), and two weeks later, we were engaged! Yup you heard that right. After two weeks of knowing each other and dating we decided that we were meant for each other and we should tie the knot. So five months later we got married for time and all eternity in the Jordan River Temple.

I am one lucky girl to have Travis in my life and I thank my Heavenly Father every single day that I get to be his wife. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it! I love you so much Travis!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 1

Okay I am going to start my very first series this month. I am so excited to have this chance to express all that I am grateful and thankful for. This time of the year is my all time favorite! I love everything about this season. The amazing colors, smells, and everything else that goes along with Fall.

So to begin, every day this month I am going to share with you something that I am thankful for because I have many things in my life that I am grateful for.

Day 1: I am thankful that I finally got the courage to start my blog. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I never had the guts to do it. Well hey no guts, no glory right? I figured that now is as good a time as ever so I went ahead and jumped in feet first. I know very little about the blogging world and how it works, but I have been looking around and doing some research and I think that I am doing pretty good so far. I hope to become a better writer and make new friends in the process. So if you are willing, stay for a while and take the ride with me. I look forward to the many posts that I have in mind because this blog is somewhere that I can share what life is like for me as a wife, mother, and friend.
