Just a few things that make my life sweet

As I think about the things that I am most grateful for, it is hard to narrow it down to just a few. There are so many things that make life sweet for me. Of course some if the greatest blessings in my life are these first four faces......

I love, love, love this little lady. She is a huge blessing in my life.

I love, love, love this cutie. He is a huge blessing in my life.

I love, love, love this little goose. She is a huge blessing in my life.

I love, love, love this burley bearded handsome guy! He is a huge blessing in my life. My little family means a lot to me and I am excited for the new little blessing that will be a part of our family soon. Other blessings in my life include my family, Jared's family, my faith and beliefs, great friends I have met during my life...just to name a few.

I am grateful for the things in life that make me happy. I love the temple. The temple has helped me get through some challenging moments in my life & difficult decisions. I love everything about the temple.

I am grateful for skype. Especially since we live SOOOO far away from our families and friends. It is such a blessing to be able to still see them and at least feel like we are somewhat close...through a screen. ;) It is nice to see a face with a voice. Technology is a blessing.

Few things top an awesome scenery for me. I am grateful for nature and for beautiful sights!

Fluffy, yet firm pillows. I love a good pillow and I love fresh sheets out of the dryer. So I am very grateful for simple things like sheets and ahh, pillows.

There are so many simple things in my life that just make me happy and put a smile on my face. I am grateful for delicious cc cookies with cold milk for dunking. They are just yum...period! I think I may make some after this post.

I am grateful for watermelon. I have always loved it, but it has been a life saver during my pregnancies. Sometimes all I could eat were watermelons. It is no wonder my kids love it too...they had plenty of it in my belly. ;)

I am grateful for vacuums. I absolutely love a freshly vacuumed floor. I kinda think I may be OCD about it. I find myself vacuuming a couple times a day sometimes because I can't really handle seeing specks on the carpet. So yeah, I am grateful the vacuum was invented.

I am grateful for water. A nice cold glass of water is such a treat, especially on a blazin day.

I love candy. I love anything gummy. I love popcorn jelly bellies, cinnamon bears and gummy savers. I also love Swedish Fish. I am grateful for yummy candy. Makes life sweet...hahaha :)

I may be a weirdo, but I really love pickles and I am grateful for them. I eat them all the time. My mom even made me a cake in the shape of a ginormous pickle for my birthday one year. I think I even got a jar of them for Christmas each year, along with beef jerky.. :) Pickles have also been a life saver when I am pregnant too though. When nothing sounds good, I can always count on pickles, so I am grateful for them.

I am grateful for lotion. Not really sure what I would do without it. I like feeling soft and smelling good, so lotion makes my gratitude list.

I am grateful for the use of my hands. If you think about it, you use your hands for so many things. I like making things, so I really am grateful for my hands for that reason too. At the top of my list would also be good health. I am truly grateful for my health & a body that works.

I am grateful for the beach and flip flops.

Not really sure what the massive gap is above the chapstick...but speaking of chapstick...boy am I grateful for it. I have been called a chapstickaholic a time or two or five in my life. I can freely admit my addiction. I keep chapstick all over the place, I just don't like to be without it.

I could go on & on as all of us probably could about what we are grateful for. I am thankful for the big and small things in life that make it so great and most importantly I am grateful for the people in my life that make me happy. I am grateful for date nights with Jared, quiet moments during the day, cuddles from my kids, a new toothbrush...the list goes on. Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!
