I'm grateful for apple butter! I'm still bummed that the storm took out half of one of the apple trees....but we are gonna have TONS of apple butter this year!
I'm grateful when I make it through the crazy relatively unscathed. There is a lot of crazy that goes on around here....and surviving it takes a lot of effort. I tend to mess thing up...on a relatively frequent basis....like thinking I had managed to already get Noah passed off as a Star Scout last year (Nope!). So that puts us 6 months behind...thank goodness he took it gracefully and his Life Scout stuff is already done and we only have to wait for the time limit. So when we make it through the crazy....it is truly, truly, TRULY a blessing!
I'm grateful that Noah's lungs continue to improve and I'm grateful for my kiddos who can get themselves ready for school and I'm grateful for an amazing carpool buddy who makes sure my kiddos get to school!
I'm grateful for the scriptures. I'm still terrified of my calling...even though it's been over a year. Proverbs is fun! There is so much wisdom. I really need to spend more time in there learning. For reals!
I'm grateful for the hustle and bustle and yes the crazy that comes with getting ready for back to school. Although I waiting a little bit too long this year to get ready...oh well! It's getting done!
I'm grateful (an excited) for school to be starting! Back to School night makes it real! I'm nervous to be at 3 schools this year....but I am really excited for the kids to have wonderful and new adventures!
I'm grateful when I get a chance to take care of me. A minute to go to the doctor for me. I'm always at the doctor for everyone else...so when I get to take care of my own issues....It's really a pretty big blessing.
I am so grateful to have made it back to church today. You don't realize how much you need it until you don't have an opportunity to go for a few weeks. And it was wonderful!
I'm grateful to be mostly done painting Savannah's room. I wasn't planning on painting her room this week. But it looks really good, and it totally fits her personality.
I'm grateful when I can keep my cool....to know that it is possible. Because there are times when I totally wonder if it is. But when it happens....I'm grateful (especially when it happens because it is not only necessary, but inspired).
I'm always grateful to hear other people compliment my kids. I think they are awesome (okay, I know they are awesome). They have been through the mill....and they rock.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with Sam and Enoch. Its been rough getting things off the ground. But I am grateful for the opportunity to try and to push myself.
After many, many, MANY hours....I'm sooooo grateful to be home. What a wonderful adventure with my husband and best friend. I'm so grateful for him, that he is always there to support me and help me stretch and learn that I can do more than I ever thought I could.
I'm grateful for learning to be brave and explore! We even took the tube as far out as Upton Park so I could go to the Doctor Who store! For me that was super far!
I'm grateful that we got to go the Rome temple site today. We couldn't go into the construction site, but we were able to look over the walls and it was so exciting!
I'm grateful for the exciting chance to see Naples and Pompeii. Naples was a little scary (and all the reading we did said it would be)...but Pompeii was phenomenal!!! So much rich history and sadness. To walk where such tragedy occurred! WOW!
I'm grateful for the opportunity to tour Rome. The tour bus is definitely a good idea. The Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica are amazing...but seeing how places of worship are now commercial businesses makes me sad and it makes me even more grateful for the places of worship I am able to go to for peace.
I'm grateful we made it to Rome in one piece....although during the ride to the hotel, I was having my doubts. Driving is definitely a different experience in Rome.
I'm grateful to be getting ready to be heading out on this grand adventure with Felix....along with terrified and all of the other emotions that go along with it......
I'm grateful to be able to have doctors that are honest....even if I don't totally agree and will work with me to do what is best for my kids. I don't get what I want 100% of the time....but I do get what is best for my kids.
