Day 16--Blessed with Safety

I am safe, and for this I am very thankful.

Day 15--Gratitude Quote

"This is a wonderful time to be on earth. While there is much that is wrong in the world today, there are many things that are right and good. There are marriages that make it, parents who love their children and sacrifice for them, friends who care about us and help us, teachers who teach. Our lives are blessed in countless ways."

—Thomas S. Monson, "The Divine Gift of Gratitude"

Day 14--Grateful for FB

Yep, FaceBook!

I love keeping up with my friends.

I love seeing the families of those I taught in Primary.

I love seeing the graduations, new babies, wedding, and other wonderful events that everyone shares.

I love the funny saying on FaceBook!  Sometimes I need a good laugh!

I love hearing from family and seeing how they are doing.

I love reading pages that share the same interests that I have.

I love it and it is my link to the outside world and to those friends who live far away...and for that I am grateful!

Day 12--Grateful for the Memories

the memories!

The fun times,
The serious times,
The good times,
and even the bad times.
It all adds up to beautiful memories
of our life together.

The gifts for my birthday,

Christmas,
or just because you loved me.

Thank you for being you and your quirks.
The hats,
The jokes,
The crazy food,
The nickname,
The fun.

Thank you for the travels,
the hours and hours exploring the deseret.
The deer hunts for our anniversary!
The trip to Kansas and the one to Oregon. 

Thank you for the spiritual discussions and for teaching me.  Thank you for always showing Christ like love to me and our children.

Thank you for all of the beautiful memories and leaving me with so much love and the knowledge of your forever love for me.  Thank you for loving me.
