November 14th:
I am so grateful today that I live in the United States of America and that we are so blessed to have the freedoms that we have. I cant even imagine living in a country where we are told what we can believe in and how to can live our lives.

Todd came home today. Every time he travels home or heads to go back to work I am a complete mess. I know that he is a safe driver but it still scares me to have him driving that long of a distance. He works 12 hour shifts and then as soon as he gets off work he heads home and it takes him a good four hours to get home so by the time he gets home he has been awake for a very long time. So I am so grateful that Our Father in Heaven watches over and protects Todd every time that he is on the road and I am so grateful that he arrives safely back home to Abbey and I.

Today I want to tell all my friends how grateful I am for each and every one of them. I have some amazing friends in my life. There have been several who have come and gone but they came into my life at a time when their friendship was much needed. And for one reason or another I have been so blessed with some amazing friends. The friends that I have today, I really don't know what I would do without. They have been there for me when Todd is gone working and I have needed someone to help me through my trials. I have friends who are there to listen to me when I need to vent about life. I am so grateful for all of you and you know who you are. So THANK YOU!!!

Tonight Todd headed back to Nevada and the first night that he is gone is always the hardest for me. I am not going to lie there has been many many tears shed as soon as he walks out the door. There have been times that I feel like I am totally alone but I have to remind myself that I am never alone. My father in heaven is only a phone call away. I am so grateful for the power of prayer and that I have the ability to also pour my heart out my my Father in Heaven and that he is always there ready to listen to me. I have a quote in my house that says, " When Life gets too hard to stand, Kneel." How amazing is this quote it just reassures us that all we need to do is get down on our knees and he is there ready to listen to the pleading of our hearts.

Today is SNOWED!!! I know there are many of you out there that are probably totally disgusted with this. BUT I AM EXCITED.. I love the snow and I especially love the snow this time of the year. It just really makes the spirit of this holiday season and I am so grateful for that. This time of the year is my favorite and I am so grateful for the true meanings of this Holiday Season.
