Grateful Sunday - February 7, 2010

It has sure been way to long since I have done a Grateful Sunday on my blog.  I still feel grateful (most of the time) if I want to be honest. But I see my Heavenly Father blessing my family and me from so many angles that I would be truly ungrateful if I did not start this up again.

Girls Day Out-  I went to lunch and a movie "Dear John"  with my dear friend Kieran on Saturday.  I loved the movie even more than the book.  It ended so much happier so it was much more satisfying. Being with Kieran always lifts me and inspires me to be better.  It fills my cup to push forward.  And I HAVE to see Nicholas Sparks movies with her.  It is a tradition.  Ever since we saw the Notebook together as I sat there crying and lactating all over right after Noah was born.  It was wonderful.  I am so glad she is my friend

Kersten's School-  It seems like it will never end and I appreciate his diligence and perseverence.  He has struggled a bit in his class this semester and was worried about his last test.  Which he aced... way to go Kersten.  Another evidence that the Lord is blessing him and us.  He is in the top 10% of his class and I am so so proud of him

Pal and Monkey- My kids have both attached themselves to a favorite animal.  Noah has had his dog Pal for years now and he is a member of our family and in the last month "Monkey"  is just as important to Sofia.  I love watching my kids play and care for their "pets"  and watching them love something so unconditionally.

My Mom's Job-  Okay this one feels a bit selfish and materialistic.  Since my Mom started working it has been so so fun because I have been able to get some hot fun new clothes at more than killer deals.  And it is just fun to feel fun, spunky, stylish and a bit more like I feel inside instead of just like the usual.  Thanks Mom for looking out.

Projects-  I am now the leader for achievement days in our ward.  And it has inspired me to start doing things again in the realm of creativity.  I have not got my workspace organized and fashioned yet so that has been on the backburner and a part of me was starting to wilt.  It has been fun to have paint on my fingers again, glue on my clothes, pen in my fingernails and wood dust in my hair.  I am indebted to Al for cutting out the wood for me.  I would never have been ready for tommorrow without your help.
