Privacy please & Thanksgiving

I have been considering going private for a little while. I thought it was a little ridiculous for us to be private since we don't have an kids to protect, etc but I have a strong feeling that we need to protect the information we are sharing with everyone in this big wide world.
So by the end of next week we will be a private blog. Those that read about our adventures please let me know your email address so we can add you to the list of those able to read of our adventures and mis-adventures.
In the sense of security I have the message you post set up so I have to approve them so please go ahead and leave your email address and I won't publish the posts until after we have gone private.

Now that the housekeeping is out of the way...

We have so much to be thankful for this holiday. J.D. and I spend Thanksgiving 2009 in our apartment in Pleasant Grove. We both have to work the Friday after so we opted to not make the drive to either side of our family for the holiday.
We are so grateful to have each other. I am completely amazed each day how much more I learn to love and adore this wonderful man and just when I think he couldn't possibly love me more...there it is...MORE LOVE! I have said it so many times before but seriously he was soooo worth the wait.
We are so grateful for our families. The love and support that they have given us during this year has been so amazing. It really is all about family and I'm so grateful for ours. Our friends are not to be forgotten. We have met amazing people in the last year and feel so fortunate to have been able to rub shoulders with them and will hopefully be able to continuously do so in the future.
We are so blessed and thankful to both have jobs. We are very aware that this is a blessing in our little family. J.D. loves what he does and works so hard. I am so grateful for the opportunity I am given each day that I work to help people feel better. It truly is a miracle when I can actually see the results of the work I have done on someone. I sometimes joke that being a massage therapist is like being a bartender. I hear some of the strangest things about people when I am working on them but I am so grateful that so many trust me enough to let me do the work that I enjoy and love.
We are thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and for the love of a Savior who makes it possible for us to be forgiven and made clean. How amazing is it that we have this happy message and can share it through our words and actions. The Christmas season is upon us and how thankful I am that He is the true reason for this season that I love so much.
There is so much to be thankful for in just the everyday mundane moments in life- a warm home to live in, a car to drive to work and school or to the store. The hot water in the morning shower or the bounty that is on our table each day. It has been so much fun the past couple of weeks on Facebook to find something each day to be thankful for and I've found each day that there are so many little things I am thankful for and usually just pass them by without thinking twice...it has been a good lesson for me to pay attention to those little things and to be a little more thankful for all of those people and things in my life.

Until next time...

Until next time...
