9th of November

I saw a post today that The Lord has given us 86,400 seconds in a day. When was the last time you took only a few of those seconds to say some thank yous. I will be honest, it has been awhile for me. So I am going to take a lot of my seconds to write some important thank yous.

First of all, I want to sincerely thank my parents. I have told you before but again I want to state as Nephi of old that I have been "born of goodly parents". I want to thank you so much for never giving up on me even when I had given up on my self. I thank you for pushing me way farther than anyone else. Thank you for being such great examples of a marriage for John and I. Thank you so much for being married in the temple and being faithful Latter-day Saints. 

I want to thank my siblings for being the best, greatest siblings and friends that a girl could ask for. 

Thank you Jaren for being my big little brother. Thank you for being such a great example to Haleigh, Saydi and me by serving two years for the Lord's errand. You have always been a great friend to me and willing to listen when I need it. 

Haleigh, you are so happy and girly and though we are so different you are great best friend! You are a great example of accepting everyone around you for who they are. I hope that one day you will marry in the temple someone who is as faithful and strong in the spirit as yourself.

 Saydi, I loved you before you were even born. I loved seeing mom's tummy get bigger with you inside her. I was so excited when mom brought you home, but as time went on you hated everyone around you including me (hahaha ;) ). But as you have gotten older, you have become the little sister I was so excited for. Thank you for always being real but loving me still. Thank you for being a great example of a hard working girl with straight A's. Thank you for letting me be part of your life even though I am in a different state.

I love my family. Thank you Heavenly Father for sending me to them!
