November 29 - Comfy Beds

I am thankful...

for such a comfortable bed!
(this is not our bed - obvious from the pictures above the bed - but I am hoping to do 
something similar to our bedroom!)

I am not sure if there is anything better than crawling into a comfy bed at the end
of a long day!  Seriously divine!  
Especially when snuggling with my babe, baby, and pup!
 

November 28 - Education

I am thankful...

for my education!

As much as I was anti BYU, as I look back, I am so grateful for the opportunity

 to attend that school and learn more than I thought possible!

Not only did I learn a lot from my actual classes, but I also learned

a lot about myself as I was on my own and met some really incredible people. 

Definitely a life changing experience!!

November 27 - Two Nieces and a Nephew

I am thankful...

that I get to be an aunt.

I am especially  grateful that I get to be an aunt to these three kiddos.

I mean, seriously, they really are too die for!

We can't wait until they are here next month and get to meet their newest cousin!

November 26 - Long Weekends

I am thankful...

for long weekends!

I don't know what it is about one or two extra days, but they seem to may all the difference!
I feel like I am able to accomplish so much while also having some time off

to just enjoy.  I wonder if they will be as exciting when I am no longer teaching? 

November 25 - Testimony

I am thankful...

for my testimony, and the testimonies of others.

While enjoying Thanksgiving breakfast with the Skinner family yesterday, my Uncle Charlie

got up and spoke to all of us.  During this time, he shared his testimony; it was

powerful.  It got me thinking about how grateful I am to have a testimony of this gospel

and Jesus Christ.  I am also so blessed to be surrounded by so many 

others who also have testimonies, and are willing to share them with me.

I know that there is nothing more important in this life, and

I am so happy to know for myself that Jesus Christ is our Savior and we have 

His gospel on the earth today.  This knowledge definitely blesses my life!

November 24 - Thanksgiving

I am thankful...

for Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is my favorite of all holidays!

I love that we get to see family and spend time together,

but it is without all of the hassle and chaos that comes with Christmas.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that Thanksgiving means its 

officially the start of the holiday season!

November 23 - Christmas: Music and Movies

I am thankful for...

 some of my favorites

 the great music and movies at this time of year.

One of my very favorite things about Christmas is the beautiful music

and the fun movies!  I always look forward to the new Christmas movies that will be one TV.

As for the music, I have to admit I occasionally sneak it out during the year.  

But it is really nice to be able to listen to it all the time during the holiday season.

I just love the good feeling that comes with the music and movies!
