Thankful

Everyone made their "thankful" list this month, so I wanted to join in.  When I was little we actually said our list around the table during the Thanksgiving meal, but that hasn't happened in awhile.  I always have things to be thankful for, but this year especially has brought us MUCH joy.

1) My David.  Seriously couldn't have found better, and so spoiled to have him as the best husband and father to Tyson.  It still feels like a dream sometimes to have him as my best friend.

2) My Tyson.  The cutest kiddo ever.  He brightens our day so much.  Last year we were just finding out we were pregnant at this time.  The best news ever.  And now he's here, in our home, and going to grow up with us.  I love him and so glad to be his mom.

3) My family - small and large - mine and the in-laws.   My parents have always been so supportive, and my siblings too.  And then now to be part of a large Clark clan - different as it was at first - I'm so happy to have them and see how they love and care for us too.  And now having Tyson has seemed to make family just that much more important and grateful for them.

4) The gospel/eternal plan.  I'm so glad there is a bigger picture than us just living and dying and that's it.  There's a way to be a family forever, to be forgiven from mistakes, and to be with God again with full joy.  It sounds great, and I'm grateful to know this truth and know the way to get there.

5) Friends who are there through it all.  Those near and far, it is just a comfort to pick up where we left off and not be judged but just be me.  I need friends and so glad for them, you know who you are!

6) Where we live.  Honestly we love our new home, the good people we are meeting, and all the space we have.  And it may sound silly, but David mentioned it this week and I agree - we love our bed.  Now, don't judge!  We don't get enough sleep, but when we do, we have the memory foam top that just makes it like heaven :)

7) Good weather.  Silly as it seems, the sun out, and not too cold or hot = perfect.  Makes me happy.

8) Music.  It also makes me happy.

9) Chocolate, specifically Take 5 candy bars.  Just ate one right now.  They are SOO good.  I'm not exaggerating, buy one if you haven't tried them!

10) Lastly for now, my and my families health and safety.  I don't do well sick, and also feel sorry when others are sick.  And I also worry about safety a lot, so I am very grateful that we are all home and in bed safely each night.

And with that, I should head to bed here myself soon.  Thanksgiving is over, on to Christmas, but lots of work to do before that.  Until next time.  Goodnight.

And of course, needed to throw in a picture of at least one of my thankfuls...
