Thankful

This past week I've just been thinking about things I'm grateful for and don't take for granted. I thought I would note a few: these are not in a certain order....

• That I can put my kids to bed and they will go to sleep on their own. This may sound simple, for our kids it hasn't been until now.
• For my health
• For the gospel. Without it I think I would be a very different person. For me it's like a life jacket that keeps my head above water and keeps me from going under when the waves crash down on me.
• That my hub takes me out to dinner to places I like frequently and that when we eat at home most of the time he does the dishes. woot woot!
  
• For naps
• To be a Mom
• For my 2 beautiful healthy children and for the one on the way
• That my husband is so good at taking care of us and is really good at saving money with his coupon hobby
• For music, it makes life so much more enjoyable
• For good friends and good examples
• For pintos and cheese from taco bell and nectarines. These have been my staples since the pregnancy.
• That I had the opportunity to serve a mission. It was pretty challenging but I learned so much about the gospel and about myself.
  
• For good books and life stories that people share
• For Jack Handy and his deep thoughts that make me laugh every time I read them
