Thankful!

So I wanted to write a little about the things I am thankful for. These past few weeks have been a little hard so I want to focus on things that I am grateful for. Here goes:
1. I am thankful for a sweet husband that is so supportive and loving. He did all the laundry last weekend just because! He is always doing things like that to help me and I am so grateful that he is so thoughtful.
2. I am grateful for my beautiful girls. Boy do I feel like I am not the mother I should be. I am constantly learning and trying to be better but being a mom is a hard! I don't think I will ever be as good as I want to be but I am grateful for the opportunity to try. I have such special daughters and couldn't love them any more!
3. Family. Need I say more? I am so grateful for the relationships I have with not just my family but Zeb's as well. We are so lucky to have so many family members that love us and support us! Our families are so great.
4. I am grateful for my friends. I don't know what I would do without my friends. I am so thankful for all the people that have befriended me here. I was so worried when I moved here that I would cry all the time about my family. But I have so many friends here that have helped me more than they will ever know...Thank you!
5. Education. I am so thankful for my education and that Zeb is getting an education as well. I am so grateful to be here in Texas and for Zeb to go to Baylor. Education is so important and I am grateful for the opportunities the Lord is giving us.
That about sums it up for now. I need to be doing things around the house so we'll catch ya later! Thank you all for being my friend!

Leah! (this is Michelle Walker, by the way) I snuck into your blog through Wade and Sara's... I hope you don't mind:) I'm so glad I found it, so Brad and I can keep tabs on you guys. And I love all the pictures of your beautiful family! When will we get to see you again? Are you coming home for Christmas?

I love you and I'm so proud of you. It says a lot about someone when they try so hard to see the good in their lives when things are hard. I adore you. I look up to you more than you know. I pray that I will be the kind of mom you are, Pee. Your kids are wonderful. You are so consistent with them and always try to teach gospel principles. Just remember, you may not feel like you're doing as well at being a mom as you'd like to be, but, to the rest of us, you are someone who everyone strives to be like.
