Grateful

Tuesday, June 2, 2015

I am going to try to start writing a "gratitude journal" 5 days a week.  This is a little embarrassing, but it has been so long since I have actually written in my journal that I didn't realize that I don't have one right now.  So that is first on my errand list in the next few days...picking out the perfect journal from Deseret Book.  Until then, I am going to list some things I am grateful for on here.

1)  This semester I have had the opportunity to teach 2 math classes at BYU-Idaho.  It has helped me be more organized and I have had a lot of ideas on how I can tie the things that I am learning there into my mothering and homemaking.

2) I am grateful for how green Rexburg is right now!  With all the rain, it is a beautiful green place right now.

3) I am so grateful for my best friend Blaine.  We really have so much fun together.  There are some nights that we just don't go to sleep because we stay up so late talking and laughing together.  Blaine has been giving me back and leg rubs before bed to help me sleep like a baby....with a baby in my tummy!

4) I love the stages that my kiddos are in right now.  They are just so fun.  I love my little sweetheart Afton.  She is spunky and loves "running uggs" (running hugs).  I love how creative Hyrum is.  He is so good at making airplane noises and is always coming up with some kind of new thing to build with his legos.  He remembers everyones' names and says hi to everyone and loves to knock on our window and wave to all the people that pass by our apartment.

5) I am so excited to have this baby in 6 and a half weeks!  I can't wait to meet them and kiss them and love them.  It is so fun to get ready for them to come.

6) I love our little apartment.  I love that my kiddos are always so close to me.  I love the memories that we have here.

7) I am glad that I get to see my sister Mel and her family tomorrow!
