Cleaning and Birthdays......

So now that the election is over we have to get back to the reality that comes with life. Cleaning the house etc....well the neatest thing happened the other day while I was cleaning the bathroom....I was finishing the sink and giving it one last rinse when I turned the water off a smiley face appeared on the drain....I have a pic...not sure you can see it well, but we'll try.




So it was my birthday this weekend....turned 31......who would have thought....and as I pondered turning a year older a couple things came to mind:

1) I am so grateful for my husband. I love watching him serve he truly is a man of God. I love listening to him talk about things he knows....he knows so much and even if I'm not interested in the subject just knowing that he learned this is fascinating to me. I love the way he loves me....I know that's a bit cliche, but it's true! I also admire him and how he has been handling looking for a new job and all that goes with it...I know it's hard for him and yet he tries to make everyday a good day.

2) I am grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving me a wonderful man to be my husband, for giving my His son as my Savior and for teaching me how I can become a better woman.

3) I am grateful to my family for all they do for me. We might not have gotten along as children, but I am truly grateful that they are mine.

4) I am also grateful for good friends, ones that are there when you need them, that allow you to be you but also help you get home to that God that created us.

I have been blessed and even though I am not where I thought I'd be when I turned 31......I have come to learn I am somewhere better.....where I need to be!
