Being thankful

Dang, I'm really crappy at this blogging thing lately. Here's another catch up. November thankfulness:

Nov 4- I'm thankful for temples and for the blessings and promises they bring. I'm so thankful my family can be together forever. I'm also grateful we live somewhere with a temple so close, and that they are building another gorgeous temple close by!

Nov 5- I'm thankful that our latest change has gone smoothly. We downsized from 1200 sq ft to maybe 100, and its been easier than I thought it would be. I thought sharing a room with hallie would mean sleepless nights, but she's done really well. I'm thankful that she could adjust quickly. I hope she stays that way

Nov 6- I'm thankful for celebrating birthdays. Happy 25th birthday to Tyler! We had his sisters over for pizza and cake and enjoyed celebrating with the family.

Nov 7- I'm thankful for the kind words that were said by hopeful people the morning after the election. It was nice to hear people being positive and faithful instead of negative and hateful. We wish we could have had different results, but the racial and religious bashing was ugly on both sides

Nov 8- I'm thankful for my brothers. They are some of my best friends, and mean the world to me. I'm thankful we can live with them for a short time so hallie can get to know her uncles. She loves them so much. I'm also thankful that my brother comes home from his mission soon!

Nov 9- I'm thankful for our church calling. I never thought I would love nursery as much as I do! We get to serve and be there for church while hallie is entertained and happy. Win-win

Nov 10- I'm thankful for music. The kind where I can put headphones in and go to another place when I'm stressed.

Nov 11- I'm thankful for hobby lobby! It is my happy place!! Even if I can't spend money it gives me such a good feeling going and looking at everything. Especially now that Christmas stuff is up!

Nov 12- I'm thankful for Tyler's job. And that we can have bonuses for extra Christmas money and that it pays our bills for now

Nov 13- I'm thankful for Tyler's grandparents. They have stepped in as my own since mine passed away, and they hold a special place in our hearts. I'm thankful for the support and love they give us and for all the yummy salsa!

Nov 14- I'm thankful for my job and that I can get out of the house for a few hours each week

Nov 15- I'm thankful for modern medicine, and how it can help so much when you're just feeling yucky

Nov 16- I'm so thankful for sick days. Tyler stayed home so I could rest and feel better. I don't know how I could have done it without him

Nov 17- I'm thankful for food!! Having the stomach flu and not eating for three days will really make you hungry!

Nov 18- I'm thankful for date nights with my sweet husband and for free babysitters!!

Nov 19- I'm thankful that I get to stay home with my sweet girl everyday. I love watching her grow and learn new things every day. She is changing so much at this stage of her life and I am so thankful it worked out that I can be home to watch it and we can have a special bond that we wouldn't have if I had to work all day
