A Thankful Heart

As Thanksgiving approaches, I am brought to remembrance of things I am thankful for. #1, a good husband who loves and adores me!
My parents who fell in love and made all things possible.
My childhood. Here I am at "The Happiest Place on Earth"!
My name, Terris, unusual as it is. I was named after my grandmother, Helen Terris Huls.
For the experiences of my life that made me strong.
For my four beautiful children that bring me endless joy.
For wondrous moments that are beyond description!
For sons who love their mother.
For friends that make the journey memorable.
For shenanigans!
And more shenanigans! (Bobby got a wild hair and decided to monkey with the security system at the condo. Dad not happy. Brad looking on :) )
For the beauty of this world.
For every day. The bad ones make you appreciate the good ones. The "day from hell", fall 2006, Shark Valley, Florida.
I am thankful for good mothers & cute grandchildren, Kelley, Danny & Chaya.
My little "lumberjacks"! Bradoc & Teague, Nov. 2008
Days spent at the temple. Orlando Temple, Sept. 2006
Son-in-laws  who are great dads! Dylan with "B".
Green bean faces. Bradoc.
Daughter-in-laws who become your friend. Diana, May 2007.
Time. Time to spend with those you love! Bobby & I playing the marble game, Nov. 2008.
For all things great and small...I am thankful for all!

LOVE IT!!!!! What great pictures too. I love the 'day from hell' one especially. You'll notice that I, unlike Bob and Dylan, am at least trying to engage with Fashie and listening intently as he is pointing out something in the water.
I'm thankful for all of you and can't wait to see you guys soon!!!

Your so right! Who would have guessed that we would have become such good friends! I have been blessed beyond measure because I got you as a Mother in Law! You have brought Joy, laughter, sneaky tricks, defense moves (for creepy men), protection from strangers, and someone who I can tell anything too!!! Granted there is a lot more... but this will have to do!
I love you!
