Thankful

I'm thankful for my wonderful family. I'm thankful for getting to have a pretty darned good Thanksgiving dinner - and that my Mom was able to be there and seem a lot like her usual self. I'm thankful that my family doesn't have conflict and backbiting, that we really do love each other. I'm thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and that I can be forgiven of my sins and live with Him again. I'm thankful for the potential to have Celestial glory and that my family is also striving to attain it. I'm also thankful to have lost 32 pounds these last few months so I can feel a little better about myself. I'm thankful that my husband has been willing to be on that journey with me as well.

I'm thankful for a good job for me and Tom - that it is a very stable company filled with some great people. I'm thankful to get to interact with the young women of my ward and learn from them - and also try to be a better person so they will have a good example in me. I'm thankful for three beautiful little girls and for their undying affection and love. I'm thankful for their father, my wonderful husband, and for his love for me.

I have a lot of blessings to be thankful for - and this is just a small portion of them.

Early birthday present

I got an early birthday present last week. (Birthday/Christmas/Valentine's Day . . . ) I got a new camera and I love it!! I just need more time to play with it and more cooperative kids to photograph. Not to mention the *perfect* outfits and hair. Anyway, here are a few new pictures of the kids. I'd like to take a photography class sometime so I can get the most out of this new camera.
