So Grateful...

With all the rush of our busy lives lately I just wanted to write down the things I am most grateful for.

First of all my Dear Savior Jesus Christ and the life he gave for us all, for our church leaders and the many uncounted hours of service they give to lead us in the right direction- especially in these tough days.

I am grateful for my husband! He keeps me headed in the right path. He works his tail off every single day to help keep our family going! He sacrifices so much for us and he will never now how much we love him for that. He is up at 4 am every morning to provide us. He can build and fix anything, and dedicates what little extra time he has to the Young Men's. He honors his priesthood and loves his baby girls! I don't know where I would be without him!

I am grateful for my two sweet baby girls! I can't imagine life without them. They are growing and changing everyday! I wish I could just stop time, and keep them little forever! I'm so blessed that the Lord sent them to me to be there mommy!

I am grateful for my family and for Ryan's family. I am so lucky to live close to them all.I feel so lucky to have there support and help whenever I need it! I am grateful that they raised us both in the gospel and taught us right from wrong.

I have so much to be grateful for especially in these trying days when finances are tight and the world is such a mean place. I look at others and realize just how extremely blessed I really am. I really don't have it so bad. I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life and to know that I need to have faith in this life and the next!

Kristin, I love your posts. They are so sincere. Isnt it awesome to have the Gospel in our lives. Its so true and so sad that as we look around we are able to see so many that have so little. It is truly humbling and helps us realize that we are really blessed. Have a Merry Christmas!

I miss Tater too, but she doesn't really want much to do with my anymore, they are just too busy! Well I hope that things work out with your truck and you have NO other encounters with MARY!

IT was fun seeing you at the NFR. Your face was up on the big screen and I was like " IS that Kristen" to Bryan. I didn't realize you would be riding. That really does stink about your truck but glad your safe. Hope you have a fun Christmas!!
