Sunday Gratitude

I am grateful...

1. John doesn't have to travel for his job.

2. John prefers hanging out with me more than any guys.

3. John is dedicated to his family.

4. John has a little OCD that keeps are house in order.

5. John wanted a job that makes good money with minimal hours so that he can live for his family and not his job. Even if it is a VERY long road to get there.

6. John will be done in 8 months and 15 days. Who's counting?

7. John likes me after all these years.

8. John adores our girls and digs our boys.

9. John is humble enough to work on his weaknesses.

10. John will be home in 48 hours.

*and because I missed last week*

11. my kids like to exercise. Even though they don't know what exercise is.

12. I felt the spirit as we talked about living prophets today. They are so needed in this crazy world!

13. my kids can make each other laugh.

14. Noah responds to praise. It makes me have to be a more positive person.

15. Micah is not a teenager yet. She is going to be an emotional one.

16. DeeKen likes to sit on my lap still.

17. Josie isn't used to me crying yet, and responds immediately if she see me tearing up. She'll rub my back and ask me what is wrong.

18. for sister-in-law and teenage nieces who aren't too cool to come over and hangout with me while we watch "Prom" and "Beastly."

19. Noah and Micah are starting to like reading. We read Charlie and the Chocolate factory together, and then watched both versions of the movie while John has been gone. It was so fun.

20. Friends who miss me when I am not there to go to the pumpkin patch with them.

No, you will not see dogs on here today. Realistically you probably never will!
