Give Thanks

This time of year I am so thankful for the blessings in my life. I'm thankful for my family most of all! I am so greatful for my husband, for the wonderful man that he is, for his care and love, for his warm smile and sense of humor. He makes my life complete and fills each day with happiness. He is my best friend and my other half, my love and my strength. I love him so much and I am so very thankful for him in my life and the blessings of the Preisthood he brings into our home.
I am greatful for my Mom & Dad, for their support and love. I'm greatful for their steadfastness in raising me in the gosple, for their desire for me to be happy and on the right path. I'm greatful for all that they did, do, and will do for me... I owe alot to them and I will be forever greatful.
I'm greatful for my siblings. For Charlene and her wonderful example to me. For Samantha, she is one of my very dear friends. For Jacob, he has always been the best little brother, and for Bethany, she is so cute and makes me smile with her 12 yr old comments. Dad always used to say "Friends may come and go but siblings are FOREVER!" I have realized he was right, I love my brother and sisters.
I am greatful for Mark's parents... and for them allowing me to marry their son. Tony and Carilyn are truely wonderful people and I am so blessed to have them in my life.
I'm greatful for all my extended family, for my Grandmas and Grandpas (I love and miss you Grandpa Bullinger), for my Aunts and Uncles, for my Cousins, for my Brother in-laws and sister in-laws, and for my neice and nephew as well as the baby in Charlene's tummy!

I'm greatful for all those around me who bless my life with light and love. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone and remember this season what you are most thankful for. Count your many blessings.... name them one by one. Count your many blessings see what God hath done!

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. -John 14:27

My Grandpa has been fighting a battle with Cancer for about a year now. He had chemo this summer and everything went really good. About two almost three months ago now he went back for blood tests and it didn't look good. They gave him 6 months to live and we were all so sad and devestated. We almost couldn't believe it! He fought for two months and then the good Lord took all the pain and suffering away from him. He died Sunday the 14th of November late in the evening. It been hard because he was one of my best friends and I was sooo close to him. He taught me alot of what i know today and i love him with all of my heart. He is not gone forever yet a temporary absence in our mortal physical life. We will meet again and when we do we will rejoice in the presence of our Heavenly Father.

A grandfather is a special person and there won't be a day that goes by that something somewhere in my life will remind me of him. Whether it be the picture on the wall or words of wisdom held close to my heart. I love you grandpa you were truely an amazing influence in my life and continue to be. God be with you till we meet again, And a glorious day it will be!

HALLOWEEN!

For Halloween this year Mark and I had a array of activities. First we carved pumpkins for Family Home Evening with Dean and Leah, then we got invited to a couples Halloween party at Derek and Jessica Richens home. It was alot of fun! We went as Adam & Eve this Halloween and got alot of compliments and laughs :) We went to another party at Frank and Michelle Micheali's house with a bunch of other couples and played games and ate yummy food! Mark and I pretty much dominated the relay game and most of the newly wed game. We had a fun spooky Hollow's Eve!
