A day or two of Thanksgiving.... :)

On Facebook everyone is putting up the things they are grateful for each day. Yes I'm a little behind but I thought I would catch up and put it somewhere that really matters and is safer!

So these aren't in any particular order I am mostly going to put them on the special days that are available because November is a pretty special month in my life anyway!

So Day 1: (Nov.1)

I am so grateful for the Temple....

I am proud to believe in a life after this and I am so grateful that it includes the things that I love most. My Family! I am grateful for the opportunity to live so close to the temple even though sometimes I don't take advantage of that, I am truly blessed.

Day 2: (Nov. 2)

          My Parents!

I am Grateful for my Mom! It seems only fitting to put her here since it's her Birthday! I can't imagine my life without her and I can't imagine a better person for my kids to call Granny! My mom always goes above and beyond for me and for my family and I have never doubted her love! I am so glad I got so many years alone with her growing up, she is my closest friend and I love just being able to talk and visit with her! I am so blessed! LOVE YOU LOTS MOM!!


My Daddy! I found it only fitting to put this photo because it's got everything! I look up to my dad, he has always worked so hard for our family and made so many sacrifices. I am so grateful for the many lessons he has taught me and the many that I am still learning I can't imagine a better person to be my Dad. I am so blessed to have someone who loves me and quite often knows just what to say in my darkest times!  I'm even grateful for those many hikes that he took me on and then had to start dragging me on, and the countless Saturdays of picking weeds. I wish I would have valued those times more when they were happening! I'm so grateful for the constant example of hard work and love that he's shown me, I hope that he can always be proud of me. There are some many things that my dad and I both love and it warms my heart to be able to share those with him.
Daddy you are AMAZING and I LOVE YOU!

Day 3: (Nov. 3)

I am so grateful for my life.... 

I was blessed to have amazing people love me. My life couldn't be any better than what it has been I have so many wonderful people around me, and the hard work and sacrifices they have made on my behalf. I have always had hugs and kisses and most importantly LOVE!
     I chose this picture because it is one of my favorites and portrays my wonderful life perfectly.
As tears stream down my face I can't even express how wonderful and blessed my life truly is I am so grateful to be here, with the people I am here with and the ones who make it worth living for to return to!

Day 4: (Nov.4)

        My Heritage:

Could there be anyone better than this? I think not! I have the most Hard working loving people to call my Grandparents! I have learned so much from them and I hope to at some point in my life be able to be half the person they have been I admire so many things from each of them but I will only say one or two for each:
     My Grandma and Papa Jessup, wow I have learned unconditional love. You always gave me so much love and adoration and well you spoiled me rotten. Mostly however you have kept me good, I can't wait to hug you and kiss you again and tell you how much I love you. The more I learn about you the more I love you and the more respect I have, you are BOTH my HEROES!
     My Grandma and Grandpa Bowler, I have learned the importance of family and the gospel and hard work. I don't think there has been a day that you haven't given 110% except Sundays and I always have admired that. Your testimonies always encourage me to be better and to reach for something higher. You are such amazing examples of love and I am so grateful to have you love me and be proud of me and my accomplishments.


Day 5:

   I'm grateful for the place I grew up. I was able to be a kid and experience so many things that most never get to. I loved having so much family and friends around me and the opportunities that I had. At times I hated it but as I look back now, there was no better place to grow up!


Gratitiude.....

In class they had to decorate a turkey feather with the things they are grateful for. I love my kid and the things he thinks of. Some are out there and some just melt your heart but it makes me so proud of how amazing he is and the things that he's thankful for!
      And for my family :) look in the bottom right... yes that is what you think it is! :)
