A Month of Thanks!!


I saw a blog post on a friends blog today where she has posted something everyday this month so far some of the things she is thankful for. I loved the idea but thought, well it's already the 9th of the month so I guess I can't start now.

I decided it doesn't matter when I start, I have so many things I am thankful for & since I use this blog as a journal I am going to write them all down.

So today I'm going to start this off & hopefully catch up so that by Nov. 30th I've written #30 things I'm Thankful for.

1. I am thankul for my home.

(No this picture isn't recent, it's from 2008, but I haven't taken one since then.) We lived in apartments for 7 years & were thrilled to finally get our home in 2006. It's not our ideal home & it's older than we had hoped, but it is perfect for us & I am so thankful for our home.





2. I am thankful for my Van.


This Van has been a fun vehicle to own. It has tons more room than our other vehicle & gets us to the places we need to go. I am thankful for a my van.

3. I am thankful for my Neighborhood.

I don't have a pic to go with this one, but I am so thankful for the neighborhood that I live in. We have great neighbors all around us & a great ward that we are a part of. Our family has truly been blessed since we moved to Layton a little over 4 years ago & we have met so many friends that I know we will have for many years to come. I am thankful for my neighborhood.

Well thats all for today. I'll catch up more tomorrow.

Expressing my feelings.

So this post has taken me a long time to write. I never thought I was the kind of person that kept things inside, and didn't know how to express my feelings. Usually I confront things before they become an issue, but over the past 2 weeks I haven't known how to express my feelings on a particular situation. So since I think of the whole blogging thing as a form of Journal I thought no better way to get a few things off my mind. In November of 2007 I had a miscarriage, when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I didn't want anyone to know that I had a miscarriage so I just kept it inside. (I told family of course) Since then I have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant, so two weeks ago I finally went to talk to my Dr. When I was there he did the routine yearly exam and felt that I had a lump (Nodule) on my thyroid. He informed me that this could have been the cause of the miscarriage & why I haven't been able to get pregnant. He suggested that I go the hospital to have a ultr...

Nervous!!

So I am getting really nervous for my surgery tomorrow. I haven't been sleeping very well this past week. Those that know me know that I am not a morning person & I love my sleep. Well I've been up since 5:30 this morning. So far I've changed my blog background 5-6 times and looked at anyone & everyone's blogs. I've looked at blogs of people that I don't even know. So I find out this afternoon what time my surgery will be. Now the key is to keep myself busy until tomorrow. I have a ton of things to do today so hopefully I will be successful at forgetting about being nervous. Well wish me luck! I'll update when I get home from the hospital, which could be as late as next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!! Trevor wanted a picture of him. Parker turned "10" in November.   I can't believe we have a 10 year old.  We love him so much!!!
