So Thank Yous part 2

I would like to thank my sweet husband, John. When I received the prompting to "wait for John" I didn't understand why. We had always been best friends but I wasn't sure if it was right to marry you. Thankfully I trusted my Heavenly Father or I would have never found out what a great man, husband, and future father you would be. Thank you for pushing me to be better. Thank you for becoming my husband. Thank you for putting up with my love for change. Thank you for being strong in the gospel. And thank you for being perfect for me.

I want to thank you for a couple of things. Thank you for raising my husband. Thank you for teaching John the gospel and showing him how to be a strong priesthood holder. Thank you for showing him love and for being great examples as parents and as spouses. Thank you for helping him strive for high grades. Thank you for supporting his dreams. Thank you for teaching him to love and to be quick to forgive. Thank you for teaching John kindness and that every one is a child of God..

Thank you for raising him as a son of God.

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!
