On my BIRTHDAY... far away from my family... I am trying to think positive and not think about this being my first birthday away from all my family. SOOO... I am making a list of what I am grateful for... :)
- I am grateful for my dear HUBBY who LOVES me and is soo good at showing me. He is so willing to help me take care of our kids and make things easier for me. He is patient, full of love, a good listener and soo much more! I love you Dust!!
- I am so grateful for the knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This brings me peace, comfort, joy, happiness and so much more. Who wouldn't want that?!
- I am so grateful for my dear sister SHELLEY. She is my strength. She is a ROCK. I pray for her everyday and think about her EVERY day, EVERY minute, EVERY hour.
- I am so grateful for JORDAN. For the PERFECT example he was. He was everything to Shelley as she was to him. Aren't we better people because we knew him?
- I am so grateful to be a part of our large crazy family! How blessed I am to have such a GREAT support system. I am so blessed.
- I am so grateful for my in-laws! I am grateful for their continued support.. Grateful for the LOVE they show me. SOO grateful for the time they have spent coming out here! It means A LOT! Thanks!!
- I am so grateful for my two boys. They are still sleeping! Sleeping in on my birthday... what a GREAT birthday gift!!! Cooper slept his FIRST 10 hours straight last night!!! I will forever remember this GREAT birthday gift!
- I am grateful for BRACKY POO. He is SUCH a good boy. SOOO easy.. Easy going... very patient. And very thoughtful.
- I am grateful for COOPER HANK. He is such an easy boy. If my next one was guaranteed to be this easy, I would be ready for my next. Nope this isn't an announcement! :) Cooper is such a happy baby! Always has a BIG SMILE on his face. His big blue eyes get bigger and bigger when his dad or brother talk to him. He is so fun.
- I am so grateful for MY MOM!!! She is another strength of mine. ALWAYS supportive in EVERYTHING I do. Such a good resource to go to when I have a NEW idea...
- I am so grateful for my testimony. My mom always taught me that this is one thing that no one can take from you. And... only you can work to make this stronger.
- I am so grateful for GOOD friends. I have the BEST friends. The BEST friends who LOVE me for who I am. The BEST friends who would do ANYTHING for me! I can't start naming names... but, friends from high school, college, work, Cottonwood Heights, Lehi, Eureka, etc. etc. Thank you for being YOU!
- I am so grateful that I have BeautiControl so that I can earn extra money when I want and spend it HOW I want! :)
- I am so grateful to have a home to live in. Living here, you appreciate such things as this.
- I am so grateful I have a choice whether I can be happy or not. So grateful I get to choose what I do everyday which leads me to...
- I am SO grateful I am able to STAY HOME with our kids. To be able to be here for them and help them through their different stages of life.
- I am so grateful I have a desire to do different things and learn different hobbies.
- I am grateful for my desire to COOK... I have alway hated cooking, but made the choice to start to like it! I have found so much JOY in cooking. How grateful I am that my kids and hubby don't eat mac n cheese everyday!
- I am so grateful I am starting to enjoy my QUILTING CLASS! I have really been LOVING this little hobby and wish I could do it everyday! But, I have to remember to balance!
- I am so grateful for the opportunity we have to serve other people. I have been working on this lately and can't BELIEVE how often the Spirit prompts us to do something to help someone else!
- I am so grateful for TUPPERWARES! Only my family would probably understand this one! :) So grateful that I can ORGANIZE! I LOVE this hobby of mine!!
- I am so grateful for MORNINGS. I have not always been a MORNING person, but I am grateful to be able to start a fresh new day!
- I am going to be grateful for RAIN this winter... since it doesn't snow here... it just rains. pours. oh boy! remind me to be grateful for this one! :)
- I am so grateful for LAUGHTER. It feels so good to laugh, doesn't it?! I need to do more of this, but I am grateful for it!! :)
- LAST, but not LEAST! I am grateful for ME! I am grateful for where I am at in my life. Grateful I am who I am!!
Happy Birthday TO ME!
