Thanksgiving

I love this time of year! Not so much the weather but the spirit that this time of year brings. We are headed over the mountains tomorrow to go to Port Orchard. I love traveling over the mountains in the winter. The snow is beautiful and I'm always up for a road trip. There won't be any snow going over or coming back thankfully.

In the spirit of the season today I will post the things I am thankful for. I'm thankful for family. I've learned over the last few years that they really are the only steady and constant people in your life. I'm grateful for all my friends. I have been blessed with some of the world's most amazing friends. I know that I am loved and I have lots of people that are willing to lend a helping hand with whatever I need. I'm so blessed to know so many amazing people.

Of course I'm thankful for Jesus Christ my savior. What a wonderful blessing it is to have knowledge of Him and His love for all of us. I know that when we are doing our part and trying to live a good and honest life that He recognizes it and blesses us. I've been on the receiving end of many blessings in my life. It doesn't mean it's been easy. You have to have the trials to have the blessings and for that I can honestly say that I'm thankful for my trials as well. I've grown so much because of the trials I've had to endure.

I'm grateful for nature and it's beauty. There is beauty no matter where you are. Yes even in Eastern Washington there is beauty all around. I'm grateful for the house that we have to live in (thank you mom and dad!). I'm grateful for the moments when everything is completely quiet and still. It's in those moments that I feel so much peace.

There is so much more that I could write but I don't want to bore anyone. There is lots to do before we leave so I'll cut this short. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I'm skipping out on the recipe this week. I'm sorry! If you need an idea for dinner tonight, I think Potato Soup sounds yummy!
