It's Thanksgiving! Let's be thankful!

It's November 26- Thanksgiving day! I'm so ready for that turkey and pie =) I have much to be thankful for this year. Especially dad and my mema. Oh the things that they put up with day in and day out. It's been a rough time in our family for a while now, but I'm so thankful, everyday, for these 2. I'm also thankful for my brother, Richard, and my sister, Amanda. I do love April and Elizabeth to death, but these 2 are my absolute BEST friends! So what if we all wanted to kill each other when we were kids LOL I'm thankful everyday that I have them in my life and that we are so close to each other. I just wish I saw more of my brother more often =( April and Elizabeth are next. These are 2 of the most amazing girls I have ever encountered. It is so important to have such sweet friends in your life, and these 2 are no exception! And what little missionaries they have become! especially in the last year =) I can't wait for April's return home in less than a month! wahhooo!!!!! =D

Of course there is more to be thankful for, but i just wanted to let these sweet peoplel in my life know how special they are to me. we go together!! Happy Thanksgiving!! xoxo to all!

Proverbs 31-- November 23

"a good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long...she's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day...first thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started. she senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day. she's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking. she's quick to assist any one in need, reaches out to help the poor. she doesnt worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear. she makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks. her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers. she designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to dress shops. her clothes are well made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile, and she always says it kindly. she keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive. her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise: "many women have done wonderful things, but youve outclassed them all!" charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. the woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the fear-of-god. give her everything she deserves! festoon her life with praises!"
