I am so Thankful

Since its the week of thanksgiving, i thought it would be proper for me to write a thankful post. I seriously have so much to be thankful for, especially within these past few months. Even though things haven't gone the way i would have ever imagined them, and have been more difficult than ever, i  have been able to realize a lot more how blessed i really am. so here we go!

• I am thankful for my loving and supporting family. My family has helped me so much this past little while with the trial i have. They have comforted me, given me the best advise and been by my side every step of the way (even though we are miles apart). My parents are awesome, im so glad they are still here in st. George cause if they weren't then id be in trouble and I am so lucky to have the sisters and brother that i do, they are the best ever i LOVE them all so much more than i could ever say.
• I am thankful for my heavenly father. Where would i be with out him. I am so thankful i am able to pray to get help and guidance. This would be so much more difficult if i didn't have the faith that i do, that he is there and he wants me to be happy. He has given me this trial to make me stronger. It has strengthened my testimony and has made me closer to him. 
• I am thankful for my two jobs. The jobs that i have are great. even though i don't make a TON i make enough to pay for the things i need and have enough left over to save. I am lucky to be able to have jobs where i like what i do. Nannying is the best. The kids are great, its not hard at all, the hours rock and the best thing is i am able to bring the baby with me when i have him. I was so scared i would have to have a baby sitter for him because i would have to work but now i don't  you have no idea how wonderful that is to me that i will get to be with my baby all day and take care of him!
• I am thankful for my little baby who isnt even born yet. I know it sounds cheesy but im so thankful that i get to be a mom to this little guy. Even though i do complain about certain parts of being pregnant, i am thankful i get to go through this experience. It is so incredible! I know things are going to get hard and stressful when he is finally around but it will all be worth it i know it will!

There are so many other things i have to be thankful for but those were the main things that were on my mind this morning. Life is great even when there is a bump in the road. i know ill get past the hard times and things will get better. 

"Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope."
--James E Faust

Thought id throw in a nice quote for you all to read , its not a thankful quote but i like it anyways.

Thats all for now thanks for reading.

This is me getting fat!!

Hello again dear people who read my blog.. its that time.. four weeks later at 24 weeks, and im now down to 4 more months left of waiting. Life is going on and im still doing the same old same old as usual. Halloween happened this last week and it was pretty nice .. i didnt want to sit at home and give candy out cause thats lame so i went out to dinner to samuri 21 and watched a movie then got ice cream it was good, lots better than sitting home and having to stand up and walk to the door continually. Now that Halloween is over im getting ready for the wonderful holidays and i have started another count down till my sister Danielle, Erik and their little baby maddyx come to visit from hawaii. (he will be here any day now). i love when my sisters come to visit we always have so much fun! my other sister kim is coming too but thats not till after Christmas so i cant be as excited yet. anyways other than that life is nice and content and im getting fatter thats all.
