33... Yikes

Okay, so today is my 33rd B-day. Not a great thing, this getting old stuff. But, of course, as I get older I realize how blessed I am and have been through my life. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the stuff that isn't going right in life and forget about the blessings. Sometimes I get caught up in the fits and fights of my kids and forget about what amazing gifts they are and how cute and sweet they are. Anyway, I am going to take this opportunity, at the risk of being EXTREMELY CHEESY to say some of the things I'm thankful for...

-I'm thankful that I have the gospel in my life.

-I'm thankful I grew up with parents who are faithful and supportive, and brothers and sisters (and sister and brother-in-laws) who are great examples.

-I'm thankful I grew up in a small town, where my friends were great and still hold a special place in my life.

-I'm thankful for the friends who I have met through college and keep in touch with still.

-I'm thankful for the friends who I now have here in McLean.

-I'm thankful for the amazing family I married into.

-I'm soooo thankful for my kids. I can't imagine doing anything but spending my days with them. They are so funny, spunky, sweet, cute, talented, creative, smart, and they give the best hugs!!!

-Finally, and most of all, I am thankful for my husband. He is always thinking of ways to make me happy. I love his sense of humor and how he gets down and wrestles with the kids. I'm thankful for the person he is and the example he is to me. I don't know what I would do without him. Love you Bubbie...
