Thanksgiving Time!

Well it is time for me to post again. I just took the PLT and Content Knowledge test for teaching. Wow did it ever wipe me out! I was so stressed, I hate standardized testing the older I get the more test anxiety I have! Anyway I think I did alright but we will see, I just so hope I don't have to take it again because I wouldn't be able to sit there and take it again it had so many essay questions to write and it was definately a crunch for time. But I survived and here I am. I am starting to get a sore throat though it is crazy every time I am super stressed about something and then right after when my body is relaxed it says come one germs feed on me. But I am going to fight it and do the "secret" remedy which of course is secret but I will tell you cause I trust you all (it is .....cayenne, salt and lemon juice) it does wonders I was skeptic at first as well but I tried it and I am a soul believer. (ha ha) Anyway back to the real reason I wanted to post. I was reading Abe's blog about being grateful and I thought what a great opportunity to let you know the things that I am gateful for.....I am grateful for a mom that loves us ALL so much that she would do anything and everything she could to help us, a mom that is so selfless that she would sacrifice everything for us to be happy, safe, and well, a mom that loves us all unconditionally and takes care of us better than anyone I know (besides Heavenly Father and Jesus of course) but you know anyone here on Earth. I am thankful for family that unites in time of need and is there just to lean on and be a ear to listen to, I am thankful for family that is there to be my friends and ones that I love to be with, I am thankful for each other so we don't have to alone,I am thankful for family because the just the simple fact that I love them so much, I am thankful for in-laws because they are more than just that they were meant to be a part of your family all along, I am thankful for love in general and the power that it has, I am thankful for wonderful nieces and nephews that always bring such joy into my life, I am thankful for such a loving husband that can put up with my childish ways and love me for who I am, and helps me to be a better person, I am thankful for the Gospel and the truth and joy that it brings into each and everyone of our lives, I am thankful for Christ and the power and indivdual meaning of the atonement, one thing that I am really thankful is the thought and the truth that families can be forever and that those that are sad right now can be together with those they love someday, I know I could go on and on but I better stop because this is getting really long and like you all want to hear my big long.....thankful list. I just want you to all know that I love you so much and I thankful to be a part of this family! Love Lee
