So Much to be Grateful For...

At this time of Thanksgiving (like everyone else) I want those people who are most important to me to know how much I love them. I created my blog to use as a journal, but as you can see I haven't written in a while....anyway, I have been on a spiritual journey this last year or so and for this I am truly grateful. Though I wasn't a 'bad' person before, my life is SO different now. I didn't know that I could be so happy. That I could serve others and find happiness, that my life and my purpose here on Earth had meaning. I used to be scared to raise my family in this 'horrible' world, but now I can just hope that they will bring good and happiness to this world. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways and my life is completely different now. I would have to say that I am very lucky and I have been blessed with a GREAT life and so many opportunities, but spiritually I couldn't be in a better place now-a different place than I have ever been. I don't want this feeling to ever go away and I know the way to feel this way forever is to go to the temple. I try to go to the temple once a week. There are so many other things that I accomplish as a mom during the week, that I feel the need and more so, the want to go to the temple once a week. I know that there will be weeks that I can't and that is ok, but it is what I strive for. I am forever in debt to my Heavenly Father and I feel this is one way that I can show how much I love and appreciate ALL that I have been blessed with!! Without the Lord none of what I have would be and so at this time of Thanksgiving I am most thankful for my Father in Heaven...


My beautiful and amazing GIRLS- Aleesia, Sophia and Isabella. My sexy, hard working and best dad in the world. My husband! These 4 people complete me. They are my soul and life!! I love them more than words could ever say. They keep my life moving forward and they make me SMILE more than anything else. I couldn't have hand picked better kids and Justin is the best thing that has ever happened to me... I love you so much babe!! It is such a sense of peace to know that we will be together for Eternity--- FOREVER!! I can't wait to see what the next season of our life has in store for us. We have been through so much and I know that the rest of our life here on Earth will be amazing. Thanks for working so hard and always being so willing to provide more for us.



I love my parents so much, but my mom and I are especially close. My mom is the most amazing woman and I love her more than she will ever know. She is such a hard worker and she is always willing to help! I love her so much! We talk 10 or more times per day... she is such a GREAT grandma and my girls LOVE her SOOO much... she has taught me so much!! She is THE best cook and that is something I hope to learn too (sorry babe) She is my best friend and someone that I trust with my life!! I love you mommy...thanks for being the best mom ever!!


There are SO many people in my life that I am thankful for. I love ALL of my brothers SO much and though we have all had a tough few years, there isn't a day that goes by that I am not truly grateful to call them my family. I love all of nieces and nephews!! I hope that as time moves forward we can set aside our differences and that we will mend our broken hearts. I wish things could be the way they used to be, but who knows maybe I was young and just thought that life was 'perfect' then :)

I have the GREATEST friends and neighbors and am so thankful that I have so many people to call my friends! I love all of you!!
