Fourth day of Thankful: Joseph

There is one man in our life right now that is making things just a little more exciting. His name is Joseph and he really likes coats. This musical has been a huge part of our family. It all started more than 6 years ago. Sam loved to watch Donny Osmond's Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. We would watch it 3 - 4 times in a row. In fact, I was reminded last night, Sam was made a special "multi-colored coat to wear". As our family progressed Justin was invited to participate in CGCC's production of 'Joseph'. He played Levi. We loved to support him. The boys loved going to some of the practices and watching a play in action. Just recently a mother in Keaton's class mentioned the need for more youth in the production Mesa High was putting on. I asked a little about it. When I found out it was 'Joseph' we were sold!! The boys have been practicing for a month. This last two weeks have been busy and fun. The boys are in their element. Keaton is a little ham. He even gets an acting solo. Sam is great everyone says, 'wow, he is very animated'. The boys are learning so much, about plays and about themselves. They are so responsible and willing to do all it takes to make getting to the show and putting it on happen. I am so thankful for this opportunity for them. Thank you Joseph for making such a fun story to listen to and to tell!

Third day of Thankful: working electronics

This is something we take for granted, until it is to late. It is like a friend that is getting ready to move but it doesn't sink in till you help them pack up the van. Well today I will out loud voice my gratitude for working electronics. Thank you for making my day to day life easier, funner, lazier and all around brighter. Without you I feel like half my brain has been sucked from me. I feel lost and lonely when you are on the fritz. I appreciate everyday that you choose to turn on correctly and quickly. I am pleasantly surprised when I ask something and you graciously comply. Thank you again for all you hard work. I will not take you for granted. (Just keep working!)

Second day of Thankful: Vote

I love the democratic nature that the founding fathers set out for our country in the beginning. I am so thankful for every opportunity I have to share my opinion. (You've all met me, you know it is true!) I am grateful that I am willing and able to place a vote that will affect myself and others. I feel the responsibility to gain as much knowledge as I can to be able to do an adequate job voting. I want to thank those that have worked so hard to enable a white woman the right to vote. Thank You!!

First day of Thankful: Justin B. Harris

I am so thankful for the man I married. I have been pondering more lately on how we got here.



(Yes we were to young to get married) There have been many ups and downs. He has really helped me see more worth in myself. If a man like this can love, and continue loving, me for 13+ years I must be worth something. He has helped me grow up. He has always worked so hard at everything. I love that he is the wonderful dad he is. I know you always hear about wonderful dad's. This man not only in wonderful in the home but is often willing to take the kids on long day trips just to give me a little peace. He is so amazing at music and art. His natural ability at so many things stuns me. He upholds his priesthood and uses it in my home.

I can't say enough about the love I have for the man that married me.

I love you Justin B. Harris
