I'm grateful for Zion.  Zion is the pure in heart, which is hopefully where we're all headed.  I'm at least grateful for something to aspire to, even if I have a long way to go.

I am thankful for Years.  For the ones I have been given on earth, for the ones I have been given with my children, and for nearly 6 years with my man.  I am grateful for the passage of years, which bring growth, knowledge, and understanding.  It is funny to me when people say they are so sad that their kids are growing up because for me, each new phase brings new adventures and happiness.  I love watching them get bigger and learn and love.  I know maybe one day I'll look back and be sad that they're not little, but for now I'm happy to see the years pass and to enjoy the moments I have been given.

"It's not even November anymore!"   I know what you're thinking. :o) But, as Monica/Monana would say"at least I'm doin it!"

So X....... Dear sweet X. I sort of hate this letter now.  Here's what I came up with, lame as it is. X-men.  I'm grateful for the x men movies, particularly the 3rd one, The Last Stand.  It came out in 2006, the summer after mike and I were married.  I couldn't have cared less about it, but my cute hubbs really wanted to go.  I guess I've just loved it since then because it gave me my first glimpse of Mikes love for all things comic book/ nerdy/ sci-fi.  I'd never seen it before because he's also fun, socially adept, and somewhat athletic. But its true: He's a dork.  And I loved him more for it.  And I still do.
