Last night we went to see The Blind Side, the football movie with Sandra Bullock. Seriously the best movie I have seen in a long time! It was amazing. I laughed a lot, and cried even more. (I am a crier, I tear up during commercials, seriously). Even Chance confessed that he teared up a few times, but I think he even cried a little. (He says he didn't, but whatever). The movie makes me want to adopt a kid even more. I've always wanted to adopt a child, and the movie just reinforced that. If you have time to see it, do it!


Since Thanksgiving is next week (Can't wait to see everyone in Colorado!), I'm gonna list a few things I am grateful for (not necessarily in order). Here it goes:

  • My husband, and all his talents with which he has blessed our lives.
  • Our House (One of the blessings from the first one)
  • Our Puppy
  • The Gospel
  • My Testimony (this one is especially important to me because one of my blessings is having my testimony come easily for me, and I am grateful that I don't have doubts about the Church, it would make life so much harder).
  • My Parents- They are amazing. I can only pray that I can be like them with our children.
  • My siblings, including my new sister in law on the Wilson side
  • My new in-laws. I am so blessed to have married into such a loving family who has the same principles and priorities as my family.
  • Sleep, my favorite past-time (just ask Chance)
  • My education, and all the other blessing that come from living in the U.S.
  • The soldiers that protect our freedom
  • Good Books (!)
  • My health, and my husband's health
  • Doctors (To protect the one above)
  • Good food
  • Coca Cola (I'm trying to break this habit, but I don't think it will ever happen)
  • Laundry machine. If I had to hand wash all our clothes, we would never have clean clothes. Ever.
  • The internet. Even though it brings a lot of bad temptation into the world, it also brings so much good.
  • Charitable people
  • Good music
  • Holidays! I love holidays and can't wait for Christmas
  • The Atonement ( I would never get to Heaven without it! Ha!)
  • Clothes
  • Contacts (I would be blind without them!)
  • My Car
  • Movies
  • Babies
  • The Temple, so I can be sealed to my family for Eternity!
  • My trials, because even when they suck, they make me a stronger and better person.
That's all I'm gonna put down write now, even though there are a bazillion more!
