About Me

My name is Emily. I am 33 years old and a very happy individual. My husband and best friend of the past 13 years is Keith. Together we have two perfect children (non-biased of course), Sarah 9, and Ethan 5. My greatest pleasure on Earth is spending all of my time with these three people (no joke). The newest member of our family is of the four-legged variety, our pup Belle! Things at my house are never dull.

For which I am thankful...

It is that time of year again. The time of year where we should all give pause and think about all of the blessings we have. So, I am going to follow tradition and write a blog about the things that I am most thankful for....

1. My Savior. God has given me so much and I feel sometimes that I fail miserably when it comes to giving him credit, but he deserves all of the credit. Every blessing for which I am about to say thanks came from my Savior. How lucky am I? How lucky are we all? We have such a WONDERFUL Lord!

2. My Family. Nothing on earth would matter to me if I did not have the people I love most around me. I have a great husband, who loves me so much. I have the two greatest children ever and thank God daily for them. I have wonderful parents and step-parents. Even after several rocky years in the past, we seem to have all come home and realized that love is God's greatest gift and we were fools to squander it. I don't get to see my Sister very often, but I am always glad when I do. We have a great time together. There are many more - Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, Nieces, Nephews... I love you all.

3.My Health. Thank you Lord that I wake everyday, for many do not. Thank you Lord that I can see, for many are blind. Thank you Lord that I may walk, for many can not. Thank you Lord for taking care of me and family, for some lose loved ones every day.

4. My Friends. What would I do without my friends? Thanks for being my friend. I love you.

5. My Job. I am so thankful to have a job in these tough times. Even though I complain every morning when that alarm goes off at 5. I am so grateful to have a good job.

These are my top 5. I am so thankful for each and every one. Come up with your own list and have a very happy Thanksgiving!
