This Week I'm Thankfull For......

It's been awhile since I did a Thankful list, so here goes......

  • My sweet Grandpa Beckstrand. It just happens to be his 82nd birthday today. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful example in my life. I grew up just 4 blocks from my Grandma and Grandpa's house and, well, we are just 3 1/2 blocks away now! I'm grateful that my kids have had the chance to spend time with such special Great Grandparents!
  • Dove Chocolate bars ~ MMMMM, yummy, creamy chocolate....need I say more?
  • I'm glad I am able to stay home with my kids and be a Mom. I was amazed when I quit working, how hard it was to be home all the time, but I honestly can't imagine going back to work right now. I know it's not for everyone, but I also know it's the right thing for our family right now!
  • My 2 laundry rooms! I've had sick pukey kids all week and Carlie is potty training, need I say more?!? If only I could get to my regular laundry sometime soon?
  • The Gospel ~ Sometimes I think I get stuck in a rut and forget how truly lucky I am to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It's such a giant part of my life, and I have much to improve on, but I am truly grateful!
