I Am Grateful For...

• Kyle and the wonderful man he is and the great way he treats me and lets me know he loves me.
• My Heavenly Father - when I've had no where else to turn he is always there to listen to me and somehow offer comfort that things will eventually be okay.
• My aunt Kathy's positive attitude as she deals with the effects of Huntington's Disease.  I've never heard her complain and she is always so happy just to be with us.  What a great example for me.
• Jenny, Blake and their boys and the selfless way they have taken Kathy into their home and the love and care they give her.  We should all be so Christlike. 
• My Parent's and the unconditional love and support they always give us.
• My Dad for loving Kyle like his own son and taking him under his wing.
• My Family (extended too of course).  They are always there no matter what.
• The Willis Family - They have loved me like their own.
• My Friends - What would I do without their support?
• The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the wonderful programs they have to help us.  I know I got my job because of the things I learned in the career class I took at the employment center.  They help so many people in so many ways.
• My new job at ARUP - I am working with wonderful people who make me feel so welcome.
• Modern medicine - I know Kyle wouldn't be here without it.
• Great pharmacist's at Sam's Club - Roger and James have been wonderful to work with us.
• Dr. Henninger - I asked him to perform a miracle and he did.  What more can I say.
• That Kyle still has his foot - Prayers are answered.
• The wonderful people I am working with - It makes going to work so much easier.
• A nice car to drive - It's nice to be able to drive to work in warmth.
• A nice place to live - Kyle's parents have been so generous in making us feel welcome.
• Technology: laptop, ipod, cell phones - what would we do without them?
• Nice clothes to wear
• Lilly & Button
• A comfortable bed to sleep in
• My electric blanket
• Alarm clocks
• DVR - I'm addicted.  I can't stand to watch commercials anymore.
• A comfortable pair of jeans - I would wear them everyday if I could.
• A soft sweatshirt - Especially on a cold winters day.
• Music - Especially the christmas music at this time of year.
• Mom taught me to crosstitch and do other craft things - I find joy in creating beautiful things.
• The answer to prayers in whatever way they come.
• The blessings that have been in every challenge and trial we have been through.
• Children - my nephews & nieces, and my cousin's little ones.
• Hugs from the above mentioned children.
• Britney who sends me cards just when I need them most.
• The Internet
• My wonderful grandparents and the life lessons they have taught me.
• Being able to live in the house Grandma lived in for 3 years.  I felt comforted by that during some very hard times.
• Marlee and her quirky sense of humor.
• Marijka and her willingness to help me out with all kinds of projects.
• Chocolate milk
• Pudding - rice, chocolate, tapioca - I'm not too picky
• Popcorn
• Hot soup on a cold day

There is much more I'm sure I can come up with, but it's WAY past my bedtime so this will do for now.  I hope you all took a minute yesterday to remember what you are grateful for.
