Thanksgiving was a good time! I didn't take a single picture, but I think my mom might have...silly ones of playing pool or something. Dinner was delicious! Our table consisted of mom, dad, me, Pam, Chad, Cody :-) Oh, and some smoked turkey, green beans, 3 different kinds of potatoes, salad, rolls, cranberry sauce...mmm, it's making me hungry to think about it now. Black Friday was successful and easy for me this year...mom and I went to the mall at around 9 and the crowds really weren't bad at all. I mostly bought some new clothes for work from Express...25% off before noon. Anyhow, it's a week after the fact and I still need to document my last 3 things I'm thankful for...well, surely I'm thankful for so much more than the things/people I have included in this project, but I will choose:
Family- my own immediate family as well as the Huggins/Hawkins/Jordan clan who I consider an entire adopted extended family...more to love! I have some pretty awesome family members and I love spending time with all of them. I will highlight my fantastic sister-in-law, Lisa and my first born nephew, Mathew...both of whom exemplify pretty much the ultimate person! And...my Honey, who I honestly view as the greatest blessing and influence in my life right up there with my mom. I love her so so much.
Friends- I have focused on a couple specific pals in my past posts, but I have so many wonderful friends. I am incredibly blessed in that aspect! I love them all and have so much fun with them all the time! They all provide me with excellent examples of so many admirable traits, and endless support!
The Gospel of Jesus Christ- It is always difficult to adequately express the tender feelings I have for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We are here living because God created us and Christ atoned for our sins and afflictions and knows all the trials we face. My strength comes everyday because of my faith in and obedience to the principles and commandments I have been taught. My joy comes from the knowledge I have about our divine nature and where we came from. My life is motivated by the knowledge I have gained about our potential and what we can achieve and be blessed with after this life. My choices are guided by the Holy Ghost and chosen ultimately because of the love I have for God and our Savior.
