I am trying to be better about counting my many blessings. After all, it is Thanksgiving season. But really, I should be more grateful for all the wonderful blessings in my life all the time. So I'm starting a list...
1. I have a warm place to live and food to eat.
2. I have a knowledge of the restored gospel.
3. God loves me!

I love chocolate covered cinnamon bears. The only place I've ever found them is at the BYU Bookstore though.
Love it.
Newlyweds are so wierd.
You should come to my house and put all those into Tom's feathers on my wall. Then he would be much bigger and full of thankful things. :)
Why do say that newlyweds are weird? And just because I am trying to count my blessings doesn't mean I have it all together. It's just an effort to improve.
Just because every other "I'm thankful for..." statement had to do with Matt. I just found it funny and decided to blame it on your marital status. That is all :)
