My marriage
I am so thankful for the marriage that Nick and I share. I am truly happy to be his wife through the good and the bad. Quite frankly I am thankful for the bad, because we have worked through it together and become closer because of it. Bring on the Bad! I look forward to an eternity of good and bad and even sometimes quite perfect with him.
Which brings me too…
My Temple Covenants
Where would I be without them? I shudder at the thought. I am thankful that through these covenants I am sealed to my family, immediate and extended. I am thankful that my Heavenly Father is willing to make personal covenants with me, little old me! I am thankful I can commune with my Heavenly Father in his house and learn more about my covenants. More specifically I am thankful for the proximity of the Bountiful Temple up on the mountain. It is like a beacon of hope for me on many days, it reminds me what matters most.
Which brings me too…
Gabe
Where do I begin? This boy lights up my life. I love his stream of questions, his vibrant energy, his desire to do good and be kind. There is no doubt in my mind that Gabe was meant to be the eldest boy in our family, he has a beautiful spirit!
Which brings me too…
Ian
From the day Ian was born he has been content. He wants nothing more than to be happy and make others around him happy. This manifests itself in many ways, which always keeps things around our house fresh! Ian is so silly, so happy, so loving. He is eager to learn and do everything that his older brother does and loves to give his baby hugs.
Which brings me too…
Simon
Last but certainly not least, our baby Simon. He is now 9 months old and can’t wait to crawl and bounce around the house with his brothers. Simon is rarely seen without a smile. He is a beautiful, sweet, loving baby. He gives the best hugs, especially in the middle of the night. Sometimes I think if he could speak he would have wonderful things to tell me, soon enough he will.
Let me not forget my wonderful family and friends. I love you all, you have no idea how each of you enrich my life on a daily basis. I have learned so much from all of you, and look forward to the moments when we are together. Thank-you for your love and friendship!
So there is my Thanksgiving bounty. I know that each of you who may read this blog have as much if not more to be thankful about.
It feels so concrete when you put it on paper (or E-paper), you might do it too!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay, so now that we're all crying.............you are right, your "boys" are so amazing, and what wonderful photographs of everyone!
I too, am thankful for them.
However, just so you know, we are thankful for YOU ! We couldn't ask for anyone more ideal for Nicholas to have as his bride!
You are so patient and supportive of his endeavors...and it doesn't that you are also beautiful!
We love you and are so grateful that our son has you in his life and that those sweet little ones are blessed to have you as their mother!
Happy Thanksgiving, Emily!
Thanks! :)
What gentle words from a gentle person. I think that it is a great idea to write down, or type up, what you are thankful for. Maybe, if my internet wants to work sometime, I might do the same on my blog.
Bri, I heard you and B are coming to SLC on the 13th? And that you are coming specifically to get Simon? His cheeks await you.....they are quite yummy. (face cheeks that is!)
