Thankfuls

I'm going to follow suit with a few of my girlfriends and list some things I'm thankful for each week. I'm hoping to find time to do this on Sundays.

* A husband who helps me around the house--he's always willing to step in and vacuum, do dishes, wash laundry, iron, and has even occasionally been known to MOP (my least favorite chore)! THANK YOU, Craig, for being such a good helper around the house!

* Daughters who make good choices! I'm so thankful Kailey and Loryn have a testimony of the gospel. They know they are daughters of God and always strive to show their love for him by making good choices.

* The time I've been able to spend with my extended family this summer! Time with all my siblings and mom & dad at the reunion, Robin and her boys on the Oregon Coast, Mom, Tracie & Kimberly during our girls weekend, and Kimberly and her three girls have been here for a week and will be here one more week before returning to Bogota, Columbia. It's been fun catching up and doing some shopping with her. My jewelry collection and doubled in size, thanks to her influence! :) * A niece who makes me laugh!

* Good health--I'm so grateful that all of us are healthy and don't suffer from any serious illness. Heavenly Father has really been watching over us and taking good care of us!

* The gospel in my life! I taught Relief Society today and it was a wonderful message from President Monson about taking advantage of each day and making choices that will help us bring gratitude to others' lives.

* The Ensign--so many wonderful articles to guide and help me!
