Grateful Day 7.....Rest

I forgot to post last night because I was asleep. Yesterday I was grateful for Daylight Savings time and that it was time to "FallBack" and get an extra hour of sleep. I am grateful for an extra hour!

I Am Grateful for....Day 6

Today was a crazy day....I drove to Bloomfield (a 25 minute drive) for Olivia's soccer game, drove her home so that she could change into her bathing suit for a b-day party, dropped her off, drove to Aztec (another 25 minute drive) to watch Elijah play soccer, back home, then picked up Olivia from her party, ran her home and showered her and immediately took her to another birthday party, drove clear across town to pick up Elijah from a friends house, drove to James' work because he left a set of keys he needed, back to get Olivia from her party, picked up pizza for dinner, drove home, ate dinner, then went to Cold Stone to celebrate Olivia's one goal and Elijah's 3 goals in their games today. FINALLY, it's time to go to bed. I am so tired today, but I can't help but think of the blessing I have! I am grateful for my health...that I am able to do all of these things....I am grateful for my car....that it runs properly and gets me to the places I go, I am grateful for my husband's job...that he is able to work so that I can do those mom things for my kids. I have been blessed....and I am grateful!

Grateful for Rare Date Nights....Day5

Tonight James and I had a rare date night. We drove to Colorado (a 45 minute drive) and ate at a restaurant that we have heard about since we got here. It is in a tiny, and I mean tiny town named Hesperus. Kennebec Cafe is definitely worthy of it's reputation. It was nice to have the long drive there and back just to hang out with James. So tonight I am grateful for our date night!

Gratitude Day 4....Technology

I am grateful today for Technology. It makes my life so much easier. When I have a problem....I go to the computer. If I need a recipe....I go to the computer. If I want to communicate with someone fast...I go to the computer. When I need help with something for church...I go to the computer. The Internet has made my life easier and I am grateful for it!

I am Grateful for my Ancestors...Day 3

Monday night we had Family Home Evening with a member of our Stake Presidency. He is also one of my cousins (did I mention that the Stake President is related too?) He told us some really neat stories about our ancestors. George Bloomfield and Lucy Guyman Bloomfield were one of the first six missionary couples to serve missions in the church. They served seven full time missions! The piano we have is the one that they donated to the first church building on the Navajo Reservation. We heard the coolest stories.... James has always bugged about how he is related to royalty in England. Elijah traced our family genealogy to the Kings of Scotland, and on to the Roman Empire! What a neat legacy. I am grateful for my heritage.

Gratitude Day 2....FREEDOM

It would be hard today of all days not to be thankful for the freedom which I enjoy. I am thankful for my small voice being heard when I cast my ballot. I am thankful to live in a country where "We the People" decide! I love my FREEDOM!!!

Gratitude Day 1

It's that time of the year! For the past couple of years I have posted daily in November the things that I am grateful for. I'm not going to look up the past ones, so I might repeat myself from previous years. I guess it just goes to show the things that I repeat, I must really be thankful for!


Today I am grateful for my husband James! He had the day off and he spent it in our office, going through mounds and mounds of paper, and paid our bills...Yeah for me!!! I'm grateful that when he has a day off that he is always busy trying to do things around the house, or he just wants to spend it with his family.


Thank you James...I am grateful for you!!! I Love You!!!
