What I Am Thankful For

I decided that since I don't have pictures from Thanksgiving yet, (because yet again on a big event I forgot the camera), so I will be stealing family pictures to put them on my blog, but won't happen for a while because I'm lazy...... Anyway, I've decided to write what I am thankful for.

First and most important to me is my family! I come from a huge family and since I got married it has only grown, and I couldn't be more thankful for them all!

I am thankful for loving parents who constantly love me and put up with me. I'm grateful that they love my husband and son just as much as they love me! I'm grateful for 6 siblings who would travel across the country to see me on a whim! (Yes, you're crazy, but I appreciate it and I love you Shell!) It was just so nice to see all of my brothers and sisters and in-laws this year. Especially because in like less than 2 years Derek and I don't know where we'll be and we will be missing you all so much!

I'm thankful for Derek's family! They also put up with me and love me like their own. They love Kael so much and do so much for our little family! It is nice to be able to get advice when we need it just down the road.

Derek and I have been blessed with loving families! I feel so sad for the many people in the world who don't have that in their lives! It has been a blessing to us to have our parents so close! We love you all so much!

I'm so grateful for being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! The Savior is the rock in my life! I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who forgives me for my many imperfections, and still loves me! I know He does and He loves my family and takes care of us! Even though the road he chooses for us isn't what we thought it would be!

I'm grateful for a home, for Derek having a great job, for Derek being able to go to school so that he can provide for our family, I'm grateful for holidays so I can see Derek more!, I'm sooo grateful for friends! (especially the ones I grew up with who I took for granite "Camille"), I'm grateful to be me.... "Know that's weird, but it's true"

I'm grateful for the people I met in the Philippines when I was 16! It gave me an appreciation for so many differences in the world, and the love that is out there! I'm grateful for the people who took care of me and loved me as there own while I was there!

I'm sooooooooo grateful for Derek and my baby boy Kael! They are my world, and I love them! I'm grateful I can stay home with Kael and love him and be with him! I feel like I am finally doing what I was ment to do in this world! Derek is my best friend! I love you Derek! I'm so grateful for all that you do for Kael and I! There is too many things to list! I love you I love you I love you!

Anyway, this is just a small portion of what I'm thankful for, but the post is really long, and you all just need to know that I'm thankful for you all! I love you and I miss those I don't see, and I hope you all enjoy the holidays!
