Day 327

November 23, 2014

I'm grateful for the gift of understanding.  I have been trying to understand why we keep getting sucked into Missouri, and I believe Heavenly Father wanted us or maybe just me to see the good.  I think I NEEDED to see the good.  Since our experience wasn't the best, it is a gift to see the good in so many people.  It has truly helped to soften my heart.

Day 326

November 22, 2014

Grateful for the opportunity to meet with the family of one of the Missouri missionaries today.  What amazing people!  Yes, I'm a stalker, but to be able to tell them that we are praying for them and their son/grandson and what an amazing feeling it is to be able to witness such a miracle is truly humbling!

Day 325

November 21, 2014

Grateful to be able to get around safely.  With as much time as I spend in the car....it's always a huge blessing to be home, safe and sound at the end of the day.

Day 324

November 20, 2014

Grateful for incredible youth who are willing to write get well cards for young men they don't even know!  What an incredible thing to witness!

Day 323

November 19, 2014

I'm grateful for a husband that when the Spirit touches him, he listens to the prompting and acts upon it.  So many emotions today.  We keep getting pulled back into Missouri...but this time it is different.

Day 322

November 18, 2014

I'm grateful that when my kiddos have a half day, I'm the coolest mom in the world for taking them to Taco Bell.  Yup, that's all it takes.  Now I know.

Day 321

November 17, 2014

I am NOT grateful for food poisoning.  But I am grateful to know NOT what to eat at PCMC now.

Day 320

November 16, 2014

I'm grateful for the lesson on Jeremiah in Gospel Doctrine.  I really learned a bunch about trials.  To me it was very similar to Job in that obedience brings blessings.  Although the trials were completely different.  Jeremiah was peaceful in his knowledge that the Lord was with him constantly.  I loved that.  I'm grateful for his example.

Day 319

November 15, 2014

I'm grateful that Savannah and her friends had fun at Sadies and it really was an honor and treat to be a part of it!

Day 318

November 14, 2014

I'm grateful to finally have those blasted Sadie Hawkins T-shirts done!  They are super cute...but holy moly what a trial!  YIKES!  I might have said once or twice that I will never love my children again....

Day 317

November 13, 2014

I'm grateful for classes that teach me about my health, something that I have taken for granted for far to long.  It's time for me to get my act together!

Day 316

November 12, 2014

I'm grateful for new opportunities for our family.  Who knows yet if they will work out...but I am grateful that Heavenly Father is mindful of us and our circumstances and gives us changes to learn and grow.

Day 315

November 11, 2014

Today is Veterans Day, and I am absolutely grateful for Veterans every day.  Here is what I posted on Facebook:

To Veterans past, present and future: We owe a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. There are those who appear ungrateful, not realizing it is you who have fought, some who paid the ultimate price for their right to behave as they do. There are those who understand more than the rest of us because they stay home without you, burning the home fire in your absence sacrificing more than we can ever understand and to the families of the soldier we owe a debt of gratitude as well. For the rest of us who stand in awe of your courage, willingness, sacrifice and struggle, we bow on bended knee and thank God that He created You, the Soldier to protect us, to bless us and fight for us. Thank you.

Day 314

November 10, 2014

I'm grateful to spend time with Felix (even if I have to share with coworkers)!  With how much he has to be gone, every single moment is a blessing...an absolute gift!

Day 313

November 9, 2014

I'm grateful Savannah and I got to go and hold and cuddle Sawyer....oh he is a cutie patootie.  And he is a squeaker!  And he wanted to badly to wake up and just couldn't bring himself to open his eyes, until we left of course!  I love family!  They are pretty awesome!

Day 312

November 8, 2014

I'm grateful cute little Sawyer made his debut!  And what a cutie he is!  And we now have our first twinner birthdays....yay for Chelsea!

Day 311

November 7, 2014

I'm grateful when antibiotics start working.  I wish doctors would just listen to me.  FOR REALS!  I know they are doing their jobs....but seriously, I've been doing this for a while now.  I'm pretty good at it.  But I really am grateful when kiddos are on the up swing!

Day 310

November 6, 1014

I'm grateful for piano recitals.  Not just for my own kids (who rock!), but to see so many kids and adults who work so hard and to see their efforts paying off!  It's pretty awesomesauce!

Thursday, November 6, 2014

Day 309

November 5, 2014

I'm grateful for after hours clinics and antibiotics!  Although we get to hang out there way, way, way too often!  They are still a huge blessing in our lives.....and I'm still not fond of immunosuppressants, but they too are a blessing in our lives.

Day 308

November 4, 2014

I'm grateful I get to vote!  So many women don't have that opportunity....and so many people don't take the opportunity!  I'm grateful for this nation, and I take this obligation seriously.  For one, if you don't vote, you don't get to complain.  I will make my voice heard.  And two, this is democracy in action.  We the people!

Day 307

November 3, 2014

I'm grateful for miracles.  They come in so many shapes and sizes.  But after only 5 treatments, we already get to take a "wait and see" approach with Baylee....incredible!  Absolutely incredible!

Monday, November 3, 2014

Day 306

November 2, 2014

I'm grateful I made it through my Isaiah lesson!  WooHoo!  It wasn't as awful as I thought it would be!  YAY!  In fact, there was great discussion!  I love lessons like that!

Day 305

November 1, 2014

It's my mom's birthday! I'm grateful for her!  She does so much for so many!  It's been hard for her to not be able to do as much....but her heart is so big and she has been such a great example!

Day 304

October 31, 2014

I'm grateful for Halloween!  It's always a good time in this neighborhood!  We have such creative and talented people around here!

Day 303

October 30, 2014

I'm grateful for vets who can figure out really, really fast that our dog isn't dying.  And for amazing results of Calmare that have Baylee walking in 4 short days.  AMAZING!  It's been an incredible week!

Day 302

October 29, 2014

I'm grateful for my kids cute friends who have awesome birthday parties!  And when Caleb comes home and says "I'm never gonna be captain again!"  Guess we can strike that off his list of life ambitions!

Day 301

October 28, 2014

I'm grateful for flexible schedules.  Okay, I don't know if my schedule is really flexible or if everyone else is really just accommodating of me....but it works.  And I'm really grateful!

Day300

October 27, 2014

I'm grateful for technologies that offer hope.  RSD has put a tremendous strain on all of us....and we have hope.  I like hope.  Hope is good.
