Thankful Thursday

1. I am thankful for smoothies!! I am drinking one right now and we ran out of milk, but we had chocolate milk, so I added that!!! AMAZING!

Strawberry yogurt+frozen strawberries, blackberries, bannanas+ vanilla flavoring+chocolate milk+ TONS of ice= Crazy Delicious:)

2. I am thankful for Bath and Body Works scented oil!! It smells up the whole house so quickly and it smells sooooo good!! I want to collect every scent. Right now I have about 8 or 9 different ones and I love them all! Everytime I go into the store they usually have a scent on sale for 1 or 2 bucks so I buy it! The little containers last forever too. I light them almost everyday and I have never ran out of any of my scents.

3. I am thankful for straws. I love drinking out of straws. Sometimes I will even bite both sides of my licorice and use it as a straw, sometimes I think I am still 10 years old:)

4. I am thankful for beautiful weather and the beach! Hopefully we will get to experience both of these things next week in Florida!!

5. I am thankful for vacuums and and cleaning products. They make everything pretty.

6. I am thankful for blizzards. If you sign up for the DQ birthday club, you get a buy one get one free coupon. Jeff and I got to experience delicious blizzards last night- Jeff got oreo and I got strawberry cheesequake..mmmmmmm....

7. I am thankful for a working washer and dryer. Can you imagine if we still had to wash everything by hand and hang it out on the line to dry? Booo... that would be way too much work for the likes of me!! I like to do laundry, it is really easy and gives me an excuse to watch tv while I fold:)

8. I am thankful for the current bad economy so that Jeff and I can afford to buy a house:) I am LOVING the low prices of beautiful houses around here, Jeff and I may be partaking of this soon... we'll see.

9. I am thankful for tracks. I like how you can count the laps and know EXACTLY how far you went. Since I can't afford a GPS watch, it is helping me practice the pace I want to run for our half marathon. And I LOVE speed workouts, they are so much more fun than going on long runs.

10. I am thankful for YOU!! Thank you for reading my blog and making me feel loved:) Even though I do my blog for myself, it is fun to share with my friends and family. Love you all!!

Our Testimony

Jeff and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to share how grateful we are for that blessing. We believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and we learn so much as we read from them. We know that families can be together forever, even after death, if we choose to make that covenant with God in his holy temple. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and was led by God to restore the truth on the earth. He went through so much persecution and dedicated his life so that we could have the Gospel of Christ today. We also believe President Monson to be our prophet today, we believe he communicates with God and leads us to live good lives so we can return to live with our father in heaven once again. The more we pray, read the scriptures, and learn about the gospel, the more we feel the holy spirit in our lives. As we do these things we can see our lives and our marriage being blessed and our happiness increased. We know we have made so many mistakes in each of our lives respectively and we are so amazed that our savior Jesus Christ can help us to be forgiven for those things. We love the joy and happiness that the gospel of christ brings us everyday. Jeff even dedicated two years of his life to sharing that truth because he believes in it so much and wanted to bring other people that happiness. I am so thankful that he made that sacrifice because I can see the blessings that came from it. We are not posting this to try to force our views on anyone, we just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for the Lord's blessings and for his guidance in our lives. We have also been so blessed with amazing family and friends to give us support and love along our way. Thank you being there for us and thank you for letting us share our love of Christ and our testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
