I AM SO BLESSED!

Thanksgiving 2011:

I am thankful for:
-my forever family.

-the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

-the temple.

-prayer.

-the Atonement.

-a living prophet.

-best friends.

-the priesthood.

-my home.

-the Book of Mormon.

-my education.

-frozen yogurt.

-shopping days.

-talents.

-heaters in the winter and a/c in the summer.

-health.

The list can go on and on, but today, I am most grateful that I was able to go home for Thanksgiving break. As I looked out the airplane window on Thursday afternoon, I saw desert. I saw familiar places. I saw the Arizona sky and mountains...and I couldn't be happier. Instant joy swept over me and I thought to myself, "Welcome home Katie!" Right then and there I decided that I am never going to live anywhere else except Arizona. I am grateful for home.

Thanksgiving this year was held at Uncle Rob & Aunt Niki's home. It was so good to see many cousins, aunts, uncles, and Grandpa Coon. I can't express this statement enough, but I AM SO BLESSED! We ate some good food, talked, and played 007. The Coons know how to have fun.

 Pretty strange when all your little cousins plus your own brother are 5" taller than you! These are not little boys anymore!

And this would be the 007 gang. Running through people's yards, hiding behind bushes, trees, garbage cans, running away from the spotlight, dark clothes, sprinting to home base, and almost peeing your pants because of the intensity all make for a good time. I LOVE MY FAMILY!
