Many Thanks

I would like to take a minute to say thank you. Thank you to all my friends and family for all of your love and support you give to me and my little family.

Thank you to Devin and Angie for bringing such an incredible, kind, loving man into this world; for raising him to be a strong, worthy priesthood holder; a man that was able to take me to the temple to be sealed as an eternal family. Thank you for raising Devin to be the loving husband, and hard-working man he is today. I am so blessed to have him as my eternal companion, and to be part of the Holmes family. Thank you for all your love and support. And extra thanks for all that you've done for us while we start the next chapter of our lives and try to buy a house. Thank you Devin and Angie

Thank you to my parents. Thank you for loving and supporting me in all that I've done, and for standing there to catch me when I fall. Thank you for raising me to be the woman I am today. Thank you for giving me the best life a daughter could ever dream of. Thank you for showing me to love, to have compassion, to be charitable, to work hard and never give up {no matter how sick you are {dad}}, to stay strong and have faith in the Lord. Mom, thank you for showing me what to look for in myself to raise my family. Dad, thank you for showing me what to look for in the father of my family. Although at times it wasn't fun or easy, all the hard I {we} put forth to get to where I was going, was worth every minute, and I couldn't have gotten there without your encouragement {and sometimes shoving}. And thank you for all you do for our family. I am blessed to have such amazing parents. Thank you Mom and Dad.

Thank you to Devin. Thank you for giving me your number, at the dance, when I asked. Thank you for asking me to be your wife and for taking me to the Temple to be sealed together for time and eternity. Thank you for showing me what it feels like to love someone so our unconditionally, that a smile involuntarily makes its way across my face the second I see you {no mater what I'm feeling}. Thank you for supporting me in all that I do and all that I am. Thank you for never giving up {and not allowing me to}, no matter how hard it is. Thank you for being a strong, worthy Priesthood holder. Thank you for all the hard work you do for our little family. And  yes, thank you for all your Ebaying; although at times it drives me crazy, I still love that you do it. I love that you enjoy it and that you are very good at it. {Thanks for picking a money making hobby to balance-out all of my 'expensive hobbies'}. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and for letting me keep you. I am so grateful that our children will have you as their father. Thank you for the safety I feel in your arms {and for being so gosh darn snugly}. Thank your for all your silliness, your hard work, your selflessness, your joy, your compassion, and your love. I am truly blessed to share your name and to call you my forever husband. I can't wait to see what is in store for us next. Thank you Devin.

And a big shout-out and thanks to all of my siblings for setting such a great example for me throughout my life and for always being there {even when I was being a brat}.

I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people in my life. A girl couldn't dream of a better set of family and friends than mine. Thank you all for all you do. {keep up the good work}
