thanksgiving

this whole "gratitude-a-day" for november thing has been kind of difficult for me. not because i dont have a ton to be thankful for, because i absolutely do, but every day i had to search my brain for other things to be thankful for to the blogging world because my heart was screaming to post about N. every day.

words cannot adequately express my love for him.

today is thanksgiving and i am separated from him by 819 miles. so today i am thankful for skype and other methods of technological communication that let me hear his voice and see his face and i even cry a little because being away from him makes my heart ache. i hate to be a mushy blogger, but i cannot help but give thanks and praise to the Lord for bringing this man into my life.

i am thankful for my family, and for his family, and for the love and support we get from them every day. i am thankful for ruby and that N loves her as much as i do.

i am thankful for the wonderful friends who show both of us so much love on a daily basis.

i am overwhelmingly grateful to my Heavenly Father for the trials i have been given and the mistakes that i have made in the past few years. i am blessed to have grown and progressed so much in such a short time and to have come back from a very dark and lonely place. i am thankful for the Gospel and for my Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement. i would be lost without it.

i am not perfect, but i know the blessings of life are sweet and that trials make us stronger. i try my hardest every day to be understanding and loving of everyone, and N has taught me that tenfold.

i am thankful for my life.
