I know I am a little late on the whole "I'm grateful for this and that" but now that it's after midnight and I am not tired I will just do all 30 now. :) So here we go. These wont be in any particular order just writing them down as they come to mind.
1- I am grateful for my parents, because although we don't always get along but I know they love me and I love them and they have always been there for me no matter what I have done wrong they always accept me for who I am.
2- I am gratefull for my siblings all 9 of them. They all have their different personalities but I love each and everyone of them and at the end of some of the days they are my only true friends that I know I can turn to. We always have a good time when we get together and I love being around all my siblings :).
3- I am grateful for family and friends, because they are fun to hang out with and make life a little easier to get through when you are having a bad day or something.
4- I am grateful for the police force. I am not sure where I would be without that in my life. It has helped me learn a lot and has been my light at the end of the tunnel when I am having a really rough time because it's something I can do that I like and that will get my mind off of things and I really enjoy doing it...well most of the time ;).
5- I am grateful for the Armed forces (Military). I am so grateful for those men and women out there sacrificing almost everything to make sure I have everything. Sacrificing time with their families around the holidays so I can be with mine and putting their lives on the line everyday so we can have what we need and want.
6- I am grateful for heaters, because I just like to be warm at night when I am in bed so they help me do that. :)
7- I am grateful for cars, because it would take forever to get the places we need to go if we didn't have a car to drive in!
8- I am grateful for animals but especially dogs :). I just love dogs they are just sweathearts for the most part and they are a good family pet and they are just lovable.
9- I am grateful for indoor plumbing. I am not going to explain why on that one ;)
10- I am grateful for the internet, because although I use it for facebook and pintrest a lot it also helps me do research and it's a good source of knowledge on what is going on and the difference from this "thing" and that "thing" and it helps you keep in touch with people :)
11- I am grateful for cloths, because it would be super embarrassing to go outside nakie.
12- I am grateful for jobs, because you don't relize how much you enjoy having a job and how thankful you are for the income it brings until you no longer have a job or the income.
13- I am grateful for food, because it keeps you nice and full and healthy if you eat the right kind of food.
14- I am grateful for showers, because I like being clean and not feeling gross.
15- I am grateful for exercise, because it is a great stress reliever and I like the way it makes my body look when I exercise and it makes you feel good about yourself.
16- I am grateful for spell check, because I am not the best speller there is.
17- I am grateful for school, because it helps you stay educated so you can move up in the world.
18- I am grateful for my trials that I face, because even though they are hard to get through everytime I make it through another I know I am that much stronger and feel like I can conqure almost anything.
19- I am grateful for glasses, because without mine I wouldn't be able to see much of anything.
20- I am grateful for mirrors, because they have helped me realize that when I look at the person in the mirror I can see a beautiful women who is fine just the way she is.
21- I am greatful for my brother in laws, because they treat my sisters like queens and they are good people :)
22- I am grateful for legs and arms, because they help me do everyday tasks.
23- I am grateful for shoes, because walking outside and stepping on a rock without shoes isn't to pleasant.
24- I am grateful for music, because there is a type of music to listen to for whatever mood you are in and it usually lightens your mood.
25- I am grateful for lotion, because I like how smooth my skin feels after I use some lotion.
26- I am grateful for bullet proof vests, because they keep me somewhat safe while I am out doing police work.
27- I am grateful for the gospil, because even when I shy away from it I always know that what is said in church is true and I am grateful for the things it has taught me and still teachs me today.
28- I am grateful for children, because even when they are throwing fits or being annoying they are truely sweathearts and sometimes they just try to hard to be good and do good in the world. Also whenever you hear a childs laugh you can garentee there will be a smile on your face in about 5 seconds and I just enjoy that. :)
29- I am grateful for smiling, because a smile can be worth a thousand words it really can.
30- Last but not least I am grateful for my life, I just have a really good life yeah I have some rough patches in life but everyone does but with my family and my jobs that I have had and I have a roof over my head and I never go hungry or cold, I always know that everyday I am loved, and I just love my life. 'nough said :)

I love your list. I love you. I am thankful that your are our granddaughter and we are very proud of how you have grown up.
That was an awesome list! I loved all your things. It's interesting to see what we take for granted until we sit down and list what we're grateful for. I once read a thought that said something like, wouldn't it be interesting if tomorrow we wake up with only the things we thanked God for today? That has helped me get a little more specific in my gratitude. And I guarantee you are one of the things we are grateful for.
Love you!
