Thankful!

I am thankful for....

...An incredibly beautiful, incredibly incredible wife who definitely could have done better than me, but thankfully for some still unknown reason decided to marry me and make me the happiest, most blessed man for all eternity!
...A daughter who is as beautiful as her mom, but has a wonderful personality all her own. She constantly keeps me entertained and never fails to surprise and amaze me!
...A healthy son who will soon be born and for the great blessing he will be to our family, and the lifetime of exciting things to look forward to with him.
...Having the true and eternal gospel in our lives, and the opportunity to learn and grow through out our lives.
...Living in a country were we have so many freedoms many of which we take for granted every day. A country where even an idiot can be elected President but were we know the country will still be alive and well after his term. A country where men and woman are willing to fight and die if necessary to secure those freedoms, even when many of the people who enjoy those freedoms, speak out against those who daily make sure we keep them!
...And I am thankful for the opportunity that even a simple guy like me has to serve along side some of these great men and women, even if just as a reservist.

Good post, Andy. You are right...you did get incredibly lucky with Marni. Lilly is so adorable! And, we can't wait for the arrival of the newest Potter baby!

Well said, Andrew!! You have a wonderful family. I agree with many of the things you are thankful for about our great country and I am very proud of your service to America.

Hey Andrew,
I hope it's ok that I check out your family's blogs now and then. I've been curious about how your wife is doing, being so close to giving birth (congratulations, by the way!). Anyway, I just wanted to say this post was beautiful. It's nice to read things like this from people who actually care and actually mean what they say and prove it with their actions.
