November.

Seeing as how it's November I'd like to take some time to share the things I am grateful for and to thank a few people. :) So please excuse my semi-long post of gratitude. ha ha!

First off one of the things I am most grateful for is my church. I'm not sure that I've ever come out on here and explained. I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. Some of you might know me as a "Mormon" or "LDS" which is the same thing. I believe in God, The Holy Ghost & Jesus. And I also believe that I will be with my family (Mom, dad, sister & brother) forever and also my new family. (my husband and I) I love my church very much. They have taught me how to become a better version of myself. I do not compare myself to others or think of others as less because we don't have the same beliefs. Just thought I'd get that out in the open. I love everyone no matter what they do or don't believe. I understand people have differences. That's life. I've made mistakes in my life, trust me. I'm not anymore special than any one person on this earth. I'm human, I just am a member of the LDS church. 

Along with being grateful for my church, I am grateful for God. He is always there for me. My best friend. He has helped me through some really tough things. Even when I've been angry with him he has never left my side. And for that I am grateful. I know that he loves each and every one of us and that he is always by our sides. I love him very much and I can't wait to return to him. And boy, do I have a lot of questions waiting to be answered. 

(This is typically what one of the churches looks like that I go to for my church meetings.)

(This is the temple I got married in to my best friend!)

[PS. I took this picture!]

Another thing I am VERY grateful for is my amazing husband James. Without him I wouldn't be who I've become today. He has always been a big support to me and has been there through the good and the bad. He always knows how to cheer me up and he always will. He takes care of me and loves me. He's my best friend. I'm so lucky to have him in my life. He has taught me so many things, how to be a better person and how to truly love myself and also what love means. I haven't ever loved someone as much as I love him. He's my entire world and I would do anything for him. I'm so lucky that I was able to get sealed to him. I'm glad he's my eternal companion. I can't wait to spend forever with him. He's very handsome. I'm amazed at how big of a blessing he is in my life. And the day I got to marry my best friend was the happiest day of my life. And I can't wait to make many, many memories with my wonderful husband from trips to babies. And I wouldn't want these memories to be with anyone else. I love my husband so much. I'm the luckiest girl alive. 

(The day I got married! The greatest day of my life!)

(Halloween this year! Also the day that we've been married 6 months! Time flies by!)

I'm also very grateful for my family. (Mom, dad, brother, sister.. extended family etc. my entire family)

Each and every one of them has taught me something different. From how to cook and clean to love and care. They all are a big support to me and love me unconditionally as I love them. I don't know how my life would be if they weren't in it. Needless to say, I'd miss out on a lot of great memories. I love my family very much and I wouldn't change any of them for anything.

Well, these are just a few things I am grateful for. But, I'd like to take the rest of the month to take a few minutes to blog about what I am grateful for. So stay tuned for more. :)
