-My wonderful husband. He really gets me through a lot. He is always so willing to do anything at all to help and to provide and make Declan and I happy! I couldn't have asked for a better daddy for Declan! I love being able to be with my best friend everyday and how happy he makes me.
-My sweet, funny, handsome, and sometimes very tiring little boy! He is just the funniest little thing and he is already teaching me so much. I want to be a better person for him and I am DEFINITELY learning more patience (haha)! I love being able to see some of myself in him and some of Marty in him. I love being Declan's mommy more then I could ever describe! I never knew being a mom could be so fulfilling and I love seeing him grow and learn everyday! It is just so remarkable to me. (And on a side note, now that the little monster has started rolling, I can't get him to stop! haha as I said, it's tiring, but oh so worth every minute!)
-My sweet parents. They have really done so much for us. There is no possible way we could ever pay them back, and they amazing thing is, they don't expect us to. They'll never know how much I truely love and admire them.
-My awesome, fun, (and sometimes dorky) sisters! I have such a special relationship with each one of them. I love that Mel and I have a baby so close in age. It is really bonding us more then I thought it would and I love it. I love all the conversations I have with Esther! She is really so great to talk to and I love how she is always so excited to see me. Sarah is probably one of the sweetest people ever. She makes me feel so loved and so good about myself and I always just can't wait to see her again! Becky is always soo helpful and so positive! She is such an upbeat person and I'm always in such a better mood after talking to her. Angie... Oh Angie! I LOVE that we live so close and can see each other often! I love love love your clothes and I love your desert recipes and your house. I kinda just wanna be like you :) I really love spending time with you and going on crazy adventures (ya know, cause Utah is crazy ;) haha) I admire what a good person you are and I love how dorky we get together. Sam has been my best friend since we were old enough to pull each others hair. I love how protective she is of me. She would do anything for me, and just about has! I'm so glad I had such a loving and sweet older sister to look up to and tag along with all growing up! I don't know what I would have done without her. I don't think a girl could ask for better sisters then what I have. I don't know how I got so lucky!
-Marty's job. His job seriously aggravates me a LOT of the time but at least he has a job! Marty works really hard for his boss and we are lucky that he has a boss that notices that and takes care of us because of it.
-Today I'm especially thankful that Marty has Monday off! We are going to have a really nice weekend and I am really looking forward to it. We both really need it, especially Marty. He's been working hard lately.
-I'm thankful that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have such a testimony that it is true. I am soo incredibly thankful that I am Sealed to my amazing husband and wonderful baby boy for eternity. I'm thankful for the blessings I have received through the power of the priesthood, especially the one before I gave birth. I'm so thankful for tithing. We have been so enormously blessed because of tithing. I'm thankful to know that the church is true.
-I'm also grateful that I married into such a great family! All my in-laws are so wonderful! I'm happy that his family was even a little bigger then mine, so that when Marty came to my family, he wasn't overwhelmed haha
-For all my friends through the years. I've had some great friends. I haven't kept in contact with a lot of them like I wish I would have but they were so great! I had some really good friends through Jr. high and high school, and I had some of the best roommates, and I've gotten some really good friends since being married, too (some I knew before that I got reacquainted with and some I've just recently met!)
Ok, well I think that is probably all for tonight. I'm still a little sad. We were supposed to go to Utah for my sisters daughter's baptism and her son's baby blessing but we weren't able to go last minute. So I'm really missing seeing all my family this weekend. BUT hopefully I'll see them soon anyway. Everyone take care and have a safe 4th of July weekend!
