Okay so to be honest I almost forgot to post the 10 things I am grateful for today. I eventually remembered so here I go (again in no particular order):
1. Tags in t-shirts because without them, I'm sure I would walk around with most of my shirts on backwards
2. Prayer, knowing I can talk to my Heavenly Father and He is listening to just me makes me feel like one in 6 billion
3. Laughter because some days it is THE best medicine
4. Leftovers from the night before, especially when they are leftovers someone else made
5. Hot showers, they seem to wash away all the stress of the day, even if it is only for a few moments
6. The ability to walk, how much easier life is because I can rely on my two legs to get me around
7. "Thank you" because sometimes that's all it takes to make someone's bad day turn around
8. Ibuprofen, it helps take the literal pain away
9. My bed, it helps me escape the world for just a little while
10. Ant traps so I don't have to have ants in my house (they belong outside)
11. Tissues, I have used a lot lately and they come in handy when you need to clean up crocodile tears (much better than your sleeves, you can throw tissues away)
I know I said I would only do 10, but I felt a little more grateful today. Until next time...

COUNT MY MANY BLESSINGS
This weekend was Stake Conference and the theme was "Count Your Blessings". I was inspired by some of the talks to do just that. I have been so focused on what is going on wrong in my life, that I have forgotten to be grateful for all that is going right. My goal is to write down ten things I am grateful for each day for the next ten days. That means I am going to list a total of 100 things I am grateful for. Now these are in no particular order, here we go:
1. My husband, who has put up with me through my crazy emotional roller coaster, especially as of late, and his desire to cook Sunday dinner when it is sunny outside
2. My dogs who make me laugh at least once a day and are there for me to smother to death as if they were my own flesh and blood
3. My parents who have been such an example to me for the past 29+ years
4. My siblings, their spouses (if they have them), and their children for being there when I need a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen or just there to make me laugh and they remind me why families are so important
5. Flowers growing in the most random places because beauty can be found anywhere if we only open our eyes to see it
6. The Priesthood and the blessings that are administered through it, allowing me to find comfort in some of my darkest hours
7. The words "I love you" because in those three simple words, a whole world of emotion is carried
8. The Gospel of Jesus Christ because it is a guiding light and a beacon of hope in a world of chaos and confusion
9. A job because while so many out there are struggling to find one and make ends meat, Bill and I are able to have a steady income and pay our bills
10. Paying tithing, I know that if Bill and I did not pay tithing we would not be able to enjoy our life the way we do
Until next time...

Beautiful day in March
So this was the first nice Saturday with nothing planned. Bill has been itching to go fishing so that's just what we did. We got up, got the boys ready, packed up the things we had at the house and headed to Cabela's. After getting ourselves fishing licenses and a few other odds and ends, we were off to Utah Lake. After about an hour or two of throwing the line in the water without any bites, we decide to teach Bodee to swim and that's just what he did. He swam! It made the day worth it. Here are a few pictures and a video of our day. Enjoy! Until next time...
