What I am THANKFUL for...

Over the Christmas holiday Jer and I spent some time with his family in Bear Lake. On Christmas Eve we all shared what we were thankful for. I've decided this is something I should start doing more than just once a year. It's really powerful to share with those you love how much they mean to you and how thankful you really are for their love and friendship.

I have already told my husband but: you are the best thing that has and could ever happen to me... I LOVE YOU, too much! To my Family: thank you for always being so good to me, I can't imagine not having ALL of you in my life. There is nothing more important to me than my family. Jessie: You are my bestest bud and I am thankful for you friendship for all of these years! I am so proud to call you my best friend! I am also so thankful for your healthy baby Jentri. (you two sure scared me there for awhile) You are one of the best people I know. I luv ya!

Besides being thankful for my wonderful husband, family, and friends I also want to say how thankful I am for my being able to do my practicum at Head Start. I have met so many wonderful children, I know they will stay with me forever. They have taught me so much and I love them all. I can not even begin to say how thankful I am for all of the teachers, managers, and family advocates, they are so good to all of the kids and they give so much of themselves. I want to thank all of them for taking such good care of my friends! I also want to thank anyone who donates to those who are in need. I have seen first hand what a big difference your kindness has made in others lives. I hope you know how wonderful you are and how thankful someone is for you...

How are you, I saw you wrote on my facebook wall, but I cant use facebook at work. But I am one of the cheer coaches at Spanish Fork High school, and I had to take some test to get paid. I am still not done and it worked on it for 2 hours.
