Double Tag one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas

• 5 things I'm Thankful for:

This is going to be really hard because my friend Jenn's Tag was so inspiring, I am thankful for all the same things she is, but I do have different reasons to be thankful.

1. My husband is number 1 on my list. Our life together is fun, interesting, progressive, easy and hard, full of love and very blessed. We have great times together. He completes me. :P
2. Chloie is the coolest little girl I know. She is amazing to watch as she learns to do new things and understand the world around her. Time is so short and I am thankful for this time I get to help her learn and grow.
3. My family has helped to build my character in such a way that I am who I am today. I am by no means perfect but I am self reliant and loving which are traits my family has taught me.
4. Heavenly Father has given me everything I have, feel and know and His love gives me the desire to be a better person. Having my own child helps me realize that it is not hard for God to love me. It isn't hard to love everyone if you put them in the right perspective.
5. My friends keep me in the world and out of my little house bubble. I would not appreciate life as much as I do without them in it.

I have much more to be thankful for and stories and sentiments that I would love to share but Chloie is on my lap and typing is a tedious thing. The next tag was pasted in and filled out by me so it was easy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.
