Oh wow.
  L.
How can I not be thankful for my Lay family??
I love being a lay girl, and I always have.
I am 6th generation Montanan on my lay side, and dang proud of it! :-)
I have been thinking about my grandma Esther Lay lately and her influence on our whole family. She was an amazing woman and I'm excited to know her better one day in heaven.

I'm grateful for my kitchenaid! Seriously, how did people bake without it? Luckily, I will never have to live that fear.  Mine is awesome and I'm thankful for the yummy treats and bread I can make with it.

I'm thankful for my sister Janet.  I've been talking to her a lot lately on the phone and I just am so grateful that she is my sister.  I never expected us to be super close when we were younger, but we have gotten really close over the past few years since I've been married.  I can talk to her about stuff that I can't talk to anyone else about.  She is awesome and I look up to her.  I wouldn't want any other sis!

I am so incredibly thankful for Ice Cream!  Silly, I know.  I can't help it.  I love having a bowlful of sweet, icy, creamy goodness that fills my heart with love.  There really is something comforting about ice cream.  I don't use it for break-ups anymore (thankfully) but I stinkin' LOVE it on my bad days.... or good.... or great..... or sad.... or happy..... or pretty much any day.

I am so very grateful for Home. Over the past year and a half the concept of "home" has become..... shall we say..... fluid? I am grateful for the knowledge that I've gained that home is always with me if I have my family. If they are safe and well, then I am home.  It's not four walls and windows or a fancy front door. It is a man who stands beside me and two babies who make me smile.
 With yet another move looming in the near future, I am grateful that I know where home is

I am grateful for Girls.  I love being a girl and everything that goes with it.  I like smelling good, I like putting on makeup and gettin' fancy.  And I am ever so grateful that I am a mom.  I am also eternally grateful for the opportunity I had to be pregnant.   Being a girl is great! And I'm thankful that God made me a lady.

Thankful for Family.  I know, another no-brainer.  But I am truly grateful to God for them.  My family is without a doubt, my greatest and most cherished blessing.  My children make me happy and give my life meaning and purpose.  My husband is my companion, friend, and lover.  My parents and siblings give me strength, support, and were the most influential people in helping me become who I am.  Words can't explain the blessing that my family is.
