Happy Thanksgiving!!
I hope you all have a lot of good food and friends or family to share it with!!
I've felt a lot of gratitude lately but way too many emotions going on there so.....here is a short list of some of the things I'm grateful for.
Bracken's jokes, even the ones that aren't funny. His Strength and his LOVE.
Hayes' giggles and teasing.
Kamri's non stop smiles and dancing.
All who have helped care for my kids while I can't...especially my Mom.
Friends; those who live close & far away, who I talk to often or not often enough. Those I've known my whole life or just met this last week. You have all touched my life for good in some way.
Modern Medicine that has helped bring three beautiful babies into my life, and gave me five beautiful days with the last one.
Prayers and Priesthood Blessings that have gotten me through hard times and blessed me when I needed it most.
The Temple, The blessing of an eternal family has hit home even more this year and a chance to learn more about our Heavenly Father.
I'm Grateful for:
Hot Showers that somehow make you feel so much better even when your insides have been ripped open, your world turned upside-down and your body turned into an unidentifiable mush.
Fabric: that can be turned into so many things to uplift, cheer and comfort.
Chocolate Chip Cookies & Milk: even if they don't turn out perfectly, I still eat them. Lost of them. So I can be grateful for how delicious they are, until I'm 30 (hopefully 40) and they start adding to my hips.
Books: I love reading them to learn and for enjoyment but right now I mostly just love reading them to my kids.
Music: for all the usual reasons and because right now any music Kamri hears she just starts swinging those hips and bouncing!
Pictures: Good ones, bad ones, happy and sad ones. It's always great to be able to look back and remember the good times and be happy you're not there anymore for the bad.

Skye you are amazing! That's all there is to it...thanks for being such a great example for all of us.
What an amazing and beautiful testimony you have. You have been a great example to so many around you. There are so many lives just waiting to be touched by your spirit and your testimony of families and of the love of the savior. Thank you for sharing your feelings so people like me can feel of the Love the Savior and Heavenly Father have for you and your family.
I just sit and cry when I read all your posts. My heart aches for all you've gone through in the last couple weeks, but I also feel the Spirit so strong as I read your words. You are helping me have a much more eternal perspective in my life. I can't help but think of all the Lord has in store for your family, you are such an amazing one! Thinking and praying for all of you.
