So many things...

1. I am grateful that my husband has such a good job. He works insane hours, but he is a hard worker & never complains. I have a lot of respect for him because of that.

2. It makes me happy that I get to stay at home, raise my children, and enjoy the little moments of this thing called motherhood.

3. I really love our new ward. I loved our old ward too, ALOT, and I miss my old friends, but Iam so happy about the new ones, it is fun getting to know people.

4. I can't believe what good friends I have. I have people taking care of me all the time. I have neighbors who come to check on me, who watch my kids from time to time, & bring me yummy Dominican food. 

5.  I am thankful for my bestest friend Rose. Like today, she came over, helped me tidy up my house, finish up folding laundry, and then we went to lunch. I helped her landscape her backyard & watch her little girl from time to time.  Everyone needs at least one best freind, and I have found that, i'm grateful. It is rare to find someone that is  a true friend, and I don't ever want to take that for granted.

6. I love the gospel. I love listening to conference talks while I clean my kitchen. I love serving in the church. I love the people who serve me in the church. Our bishop does a lot. Our Releif Society president does a lot. Things I don't even know about, but for those things, I am grateful for people who serve in those callings and teach my children the gospel.

7. I am grateful for prayer. My prayers are always answered. Sometimes it feels like I live in a fairy tale, that life is too good to me. I don't know why Heavenly Father blesses me so much or even listens to my prayers, but I am grateful to know that I am a child of God, who loves me and that I am not invisible to Him, even though to me, this thought seems impossible to comprehend.

8. I LOVE my cute little boys. They are great, they make me happy. I love cuddling up with them at night and essentially re-living my childhood through them.

9. There are too many things,  and I could go on and on, but I am grateful to live HERE & even though it is so far away, I am happy to have a beautiful HOME to SHAREwith my children & husband.

10. I think about the future, where Bryan &I will be, how many children we will have, and where we will end up serving missions. I really want it all. I want to live a good  & clean life, I want my children to be highly successful, good people- happy people.  I know life is not without challenges, but I feel that somehow my life will surpass my expectations, because in the last few short years, it allready has!

THE END
