11/1- As I am typing this before I leave work—I thought it would be
appropriate to say I am grateful that Kris and I have jobs. Not just jobs, but jobs with good companies,
good people, and a place we can enjoy.
11/2- My car. Thankful to have
a working car to get me all the places I need and want to go.
11/3- Sleeping in. This is
something I will have to give up on when the baby comes. I am thankful for these Saturdays when I can
sleep in.
11/4- Family
dinners—every Sunday we have dinner with Kris’ family, or the first of the
month with my family. We love getting
together to eat and catch up. It is a
bonus all (minus one sister) of our immediate families live in the valley.
11/5- My insulin
pump. Although it has very
frustrating technical errors, and I wish I didn’t have to deal with Juvenile
Diabetes at all, I am grateful for what
there is available today. I can eat
cookies, pizza, and cake because of my pump.
11/6- Free agency.
11/7- I am thankful for my home. I’ve seen a lot of aftermath from Hurricane
Sandy, and I am just so thankful for a
roof over my head.
11/8- Family. My family members are also my closest
friends. Kris and I both have large
families, and I love that.
11/9- Air
conditioning & heaters—both in home and cars. How did people survive without these? This is a luxury I take for granted.
11/10- What better
day to say I am thankful for my mother than on her birthday? I always thank my Heavenly Father for giving
me the mother he did. She is the most
unselfish person I know, and I hope I can be half the mother to my little
peanut as she is to me.
11/11- For the country I live in.
11/12- Rebel basketball games. Always fun to watch. (Not too thankful for Kris' facial hair here..)
11/13- The convenience
of this city. We live close to grocery
stores that are open 24 hours. There is
so much available if we need it. When I
lived in St. George, that was something I missed.
11/14- Being an
Aunt. I LOVE all my nieces and nephews,
and I am happy when I get to see them. I
think having so many has prepared me for my motherhood. Plus they are all so sticking cute.
11/15- Baby kicks & movement. I always wonder how my little guy is baking
in there. When he kicks and moves it
reassures me that he is OK.
11/16- Free lunches. Besides the Bistro food at my work. I’ve been
spoiled with EAT, Rubios, Nacho Daddy, Pizza, and Panera Bread this month.
11/17- My husband and
our marriage. All around good guy, and I
feel so lucky to have him in my life.
11/18- Friends. Old and new.
A friend of mine in the Navy sent us gifts from our registry. She went above and beyond, and I was so
grateful. My friends have such kind
hearts.
11/19- My church and all the blessings I
receive from it. I am thankful to know that
I am a child of God and I chose to come to earth. Also for the power of prayer,
and for the wonderful people I know and have met.
11/20- Food! I would be
grateful for just being able to eat, period.
But, being able to eat things we enjoy is a blessing I take for
granted. The first types of foods that
come to mind are all incredibly unhealthy, but
I’ll blame it on the pregnancy hormones.
Watching the crazy stuff these people eat on the history channel—yuck! I am a spoiled American Girl. Yay for Fries- Bacon- and Southwest Chicken
Salads!
11/21- Grandparents. I adored my grandparents, and was thankful to
have them. I am sad this little guy will
not have his biological grandfathers part of his earthly life, but thankful he
has 2 loving grandmas and a grandpa Bob.
11/22- Cameras and other gadgets. Technology is crazy, and I am happy
there are so many ways to capture moments and keep precious memories. And even
with the ease of it all, I often don't take as many pictures as I want.
I love you Kari. You are so amazingly sweet. :)
