The Most Wonderful Gift of the Year

I know I already did a grateful post for this month, but I wanted to finish the month off with one more post of gratitude and thanksgiving.

First off, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving break! It was wonderful spending time with both of our families. I love my family so much! And I'm grateful for them in my life. Also, I loved being able to spend time with the hubby's family and get to know them better. They are great! And I couldn't ask for better in-laws. :)

To finish up this Thanksgiving post, I'm going to brag a little about my wonderful husband. I don't usually like to do this, but I'm extremely grateful for him (don't worry, I tell him everyday, so it really isn't anything new. just new for all (or one of you) who read this blog!).
I'm grateful for a husband who is a hard worker. Every morning he's up at 6 to be to work at 7. His coworkers and boss all love him and appreciate his work. I'm grateful for the job he has been blessed with.

Tuckered out at Thanksgiving dinner. I love pictures of him sleeping :)
 I'm thankful for his willingness to serve and fulfill his responsibilities. He just recently got called to be the Elder's Quorum secretary, and the President told him it was because he was impressed with him showing up to help others move and being at the service projects. I'm thankful for his example.
Fulfilling his home teaching responsibility.
I'm very grateful to have married a man who is smart, funny (makes me laugh everyday!), kind, giving, full of wisdom, and so much more. I've seen how great he is as a big brother, a friend, a son, and a husband. And I know that he will make a great dad and father for our children, starting around June 20th (that's right... we're expecting :)). I was only sick for about a month, but that whole time my awesome husband cooked dinner, did the dishes, did the laundry, and so much more! I'm very lucky to be with such a great guy forever!
 Baby Walser - Expected to arrive June 20th

Doctrine and Covenants 59:21 - And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments.

I'm so excited for you and Matt! Man, it's still kind of hard for me to imagine you married! I guess I only saw you guys as a couple a few times...but I know you guys are good together! You guys are both good people with big hearts. And it's so nice to see a blog post about how great your husband is...so often people complain about their husbands and magnify the faults. Anyways, love you and I'm glad you're pregnant! Can't wait to see you next (whenever that will be...)!
