12- My ward family, without them our experience here would not be the same.

I cannot wait for Kyson to grow up a part of it as well. I know he will be raised by a village of amazing people.
13- My parents, they are amazing people with strong testimonies. They love me unconditionally and have taught me the kind of parent I want to be.

19- All of my friends, I have some of the most amazing people in my life that have come into my life thru so many ways. I love them all.
20- My past, every part of it. The mistakes, the struggles, the good times, and the bad. All of it mademe who I am today. It made me strong and taught me to rely on God.
21- The blessing of living in Washington. I know this is where my family is supposed to be at this time. We have been here 2 years and feel blessed that the Lord has guided us this far.
22- Mine and my husband's health. Right before we found out we were pregnant with Kyson I found out I have a lump in my breast. I feel so blessed to have the health and strength that I have to live life to it's fullest each and every day. I know personally that in one moment and with one visit to the Dr that can all change.
