Blessings....

So just beware....this is going to be a mushy gushy long post! :)
I was just thinking today how LUCKY and blessed I am. I never really knew how much I could love and/or be loved. The time I've spent with Josh lately has had a great impact on me. I don't know why, but it's been a huge realization of how much I love him! I find myself falling deeper and deeper in love with him each day. I already married the kid, I knew I loved him, but it's amazing how deep it continues to go! What a lucky girl I am to be able to have such an amazing husband who I know would do anything for me! Thank you for being worthy to take me to the temple! I'm truly grateful you're mine forever...I wouldn't have it any other way! I love you babe!
I'm so grateful for my family! I have a pretty big family! Each person so unique and different....but that's what makes it the best! There is never a dull moment! I'm grateful for my parents who sacrificed so much in our behalf. I don't think I realized the extent of sacrifice and who knows if I ever will. But it was true love and selflessness. They went without so we could have. Thank you for creating the wonderful childhood memories! (Dollar movies with candy bars from FredMeyer, cans of soda to share, and popcorn that mom snuck in in the diaper bag! Backyard camping, living room forts, Disneyland, Silver Lake 20x each summer (haha), Tiger Ticket trade-ins and back porch "swimming pools" oops! Thanks mom for helping clean that one up!)
I'm grateful for Josh's family for accepting me as I am. Thank you for including me and loving me! I'm so extremely blessed not only to find a great guy, but to have a great family to go along with him (both immediate and extended)! Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories as well! I know we will have lots more!
I'm grateful for good health. I've had a nasty cold this last week and it makes me realize how much I take for granted breathing comfortably and effortlessly! :) SO it makes me LOVE the good days!
I'm grateful for the outdoors and the peace and beauty it brings. I love sunsets, lakes, mountains, oceans, flowers, and trees. (and yes Josh....I love Park City and San Diego....both unique and beautiful in their own way! ha ha..inside joke). How lucky we are to have it all around us for us to enjoy and for it to make us happy!
I'm grateful that I have the gospel in my life, that I have a testimony, and that I have been able to share it. Now if only I could get myself back on track with all the small and simple things---I'm pretty sure its the simplest, but most of the time the hardest! I love my Heavenly Father who loves me and continues to bless me even though I have many faults!
I could go on and on and on, but these were some of the few things I've had on my mind. I hope we all take time to reflect on those wonderful things in life==there are just so many!
