Grateful

I know I'm due for a post, and I'll try to get pictures uploaded for a long, fun post later, but right now I just have to express my gratitude not only for my family, but for Brad's.  I am so grateful for our families!  I have always known I had a good family, but I never appreciate them as much as I should.  I had a conversation with my good friend whose father in law took his own life this week.  There's a lot more to the story, and it's bizarre, but I won't go into it.  Talking to her about her family helps me realize how lucky I am to have so much love around us.  As crazy as family can be, we know we are loved and we feel it whenever we spend time with members of our families.  I'm so grateful to have the parents we have.  They are all so supportive and want us to succeed and truly want the world for us.  I appreciate all of you!  This includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  We love you all!  Thank you for your continued support and best wishes.  It would be so great to be closer to family, it's hard when you all make our trips back to Utah so great!  Again, we love you all and miss you like crazy!  PS-we are very grateful for our Iowa family too.
