Gratitude

There are so many things that I am grateful for. This isn't a complete list but it is definitely a start:

• My membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
• My Father in Heaven who loves and knows me
• My Savior, Jesus Christ
  
• My best friend and husband, Jeremy
• The newest addition to our family, my beautiful daughter Jessica
  
• My parents - they have no idea how much I love them and are grateful for them. In the past month I have gained a whole new perspective on all that they have done for me in my life!
  
• My parent-in-laws - I truly hope they know how much I love and appreciate them.
  
• My siblings - I have the coolest 3 brothers and 2 sisters ever. I love them all very much and am so grateful that we are all friends.
  
• My sister-in-laws - I have 2 awesome older sisters. I love hanging out with them and feel pretty lucky to call them family.
  
• The world's cutest nephew, Ethan (he's a doll! I love him to pieces and wish we lived closer to him!)
• My job - I LOVE teaching 6th grade at the "Best School In the Land" - Wasatch Elementary!
• My co-workers - Betsy & Tawnicia have become such good friends as well. I truly appreciate all that they do for me
• My husbands job at the MTC - he loves it there!
  
• My hubby's co-workers: he has a great boss and co-workers who take such good care of him. I appreciate all that they do for him
• Chocolate...need I say more?
• Cleanliness & organization - we live in a modest 2 bedroom home. I am a pack rat so it has become necessary to be an organization freak! Plus, and more importantly, I love how you can definitely feel the Spirit better in a clean home
• Technology - it is incredible how the Lord has inspired men and women to create such an awesome medium for communication and learning.
• The feeling of love - which sounds a little hokey to say, but it's true. I have felt such love for so many people and blessings that I have to say I'm grateful for that feeling!
• The scriptures - Jer and I really want our precious daughter to feel the spirit and power that comes with reading the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon, so we have already begun to have daily scripture study. And you know what? I firmly believe that at the precious age of 1 month, Jessica can feel the spirit of them.

Now, this list isn't complete. But it definitely covers some things that have been on my mind lately! :)
