Thanksgiving

There is always something to be thankful for!

CRAIGERS: I’m not sure where to begin! But I do know this, God knew what he was doing when he put you in my life! He needed me to have a man who would never give up, no matter what! I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been at the lowest I’ve ever been in my life, I’ve pushed you away, I’ve been an awful wife at times and you have had the strength to push forward. For that I’m grateful! You have shown me what true love is! I love you so much!

RYKER & EMERSON: my life would be nothing without you! You are who I fight every single day to be better for! You my sweet boys are the brightest light in my life! You both have such big HEARTS! Your personalities are the best! You make me the proudest mama in the whole world! I thank God for allowing you to choose me to be your mama bear!

FAMILY: is the key to HAPPINESS! Without family I am no one! I was fortunate enough to spend thanksgiving in Idaho with my beautiful family. We spent Thanksgiving Day with my mom, bonus dad, my sister Jade and her beautiful family! We went to lunch and after took the “toys” out for a ride! After some much needed fun we went over to my dad and bonus moms and she taught us how to make homemade cream pies and of course the crust! All from scratch! On Friday we had thanksgiving dinner at my dads! We spent all morning preparing everything. I had some serious bonding time with my baby brother who I just adore! We played Apples to Apples and had so much fun just laughing! We decided on Thursday to go Black Friday shopping and we had so much fun! I love my big family! I am grateful for each of there sweet spirits! They are the glue in my life! All my grandmas and grandpas I love you so much. My grandma sue and nana I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for you! Thank you for all you do!

I’m so very thankful that I have my Kelley family in my life! This year has been full of meetings and new memories! It’s been an extremely joyful time getting to know everybody!

FRIENDS: God has blessed me with the best of friends! I have many friends but a handful of friends that are people I can talk to and know without a doubt there is no judgement, just love, support and respect! To the ones who live in Idaho, oh how I miss you! I wish we all lived closer (that is a hint that you should move to AZ) to the ones who live close, I have felt that I don’t do enough! I want to be better! I’m so grateful for each of you! You all bring a different type of light into my life. A light that I need to have strength! I’m beyond grateful for you all!

SISTERS: there is nothing better in this world than sisters.... well, ok maybe one thing, and that’s my brothers. But we’ll get there in a sec! I LOVE ALL 6 of my sisters! They seriously all have different personalities and are just so much fun to be with! I’m grateful that I get to be their older sister!

BROTHERS: there is something about my baby brother that I just adore! I’m beyond grateful for him and his sweet personality! He is the greatest! I don’t see you often but when I do it’s something magical! My other brothers, I don’t see you often enough either, but the times we do spend as a family are times I truly cherish! I’m grateful for you all!

Influential People: there are many people in my life who have positively influenced me. But there are specific people who will forever have a lasting impact. I’m beyond grateful for them. For their love & support! From teaching me the tools I would need in my life to be a better person to accepting me for who I am! You all have been people who I admire and respect with all my heart!

The list could go on forever, I’m thankful for everything I have been given! I’m especially grateful for the power of forgiveness and the infinite love of my Savior Jesus Christ.

In all things give thanks. - Ephesians 5:20
