November Thanks 3

1. I am grateful for my car. I miss Gilbert sometimes, and I sometimes feel bad that my sister now owns this car that is on the verge of dying, but I am grateful that I was able to help, and that I have a car. period.
2. I am grateful for my mom's side of the family. I love getting together with them and it's always a blast. I grew up with my cousin Skye and so being with her family always makes me really happy. We had a baby shower for her yesterday, I'm so excited to meet her little one!
3. I am grateful for my mom. I love my mom. I cannot say it enough. This woman's middle name is sacrifice. She's a shining example, and has always loved me unconditionally. She never gave up on me, no matter how much I felt like I had failed her. No matter how many times I wanted to rebel, and just thought how I didn't like her, and that she was being too strict on me growing up. No matter what I put her through, she never failed me. She never gave up on me. She always loved me, asked me how my days was. She still cared, and for that, I will always be grateful. To have a mom so loving and forgiving, as she is. LOVE YOU MOM.
4. I'm grateful for my home :) I'm so grateful for my bed, and my room, and my clothing, and my dishes. I'm grateful for my bathroom, being able to shower, for my coat. I'm grateful for many things, especially my home. To have shelter over my head, to protect me and keep me warm.

19. And last but not least, this week, I am thankful for Brady. I am thankful for this 2 year experience. I am thankful it has brought us closer, I am grateful to have had a missionary to write. I love him so very much and I can't believe in just 4 short days, I'll be seeing him coming down the escalator. He will no longer be in letters... He will be real, and he will be mine again. I'm grateful for his service, and for his decision to serve a mission. He has changed my life, and inspires me to be better and to be closer to my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for his unconditional love towards me. He has never given up on me, and I'm so grateful that he didn't write me off. That this waiting experience wasn't a nightmare. I still have no idea where this road will lead the two of us.. But I know that the Lord is in it, and I want to be with Brady. I love him very much. I'm so grateful for him :)
