This weeks "I am grateful for"

I decided that instead of doing a post everyday, I would do one weekly that way it isn't funny looking, with one or two sentence posts!!

November 6th. I love Saturdays, especially saturdays I get to spend all day with my family. But today I'm thankful for fall, we trimmed our trees and picked up some leaves, cleaned the yard a little bit.

November 7th. I'm thankful for Sundays of course!! I have struggled with going to church lately, but I have decided to quit sulking (sp) and go!!

November 8th: I'm thankful for my car, its an old car but it gets me from point A to point B.

November 9th: I'm thankful for my wonderful house that I have over my head, it needs a lot of work, but it keeps the snow and rain out!

November 10th: This night I had to work at the hospital, I'm thankful for sleep, cause on nights like this I miss it a whole heck of a lot!

November 11th: I'm thankful for our veterans, without them who knows where we would be. Think about it would we be a free country, with freedom of religion or speech or the right to bare arms.. haha Cain that was for you!! I'm thankful for all those that have served and are serving our country.

November 12th: I'm thankful for medical technology, today I get to have an MRI done on my knee to see if we can figure out why I can barely stand up sometimes. I personally think I tweaked it in softball and all this extra weight I carry it taking its toll finally, but that is just my thoughts.. Anyway, I'm thankful for the technology we have to be able to tell us if we are sick with something dreadful or if we are perfect in health.

Our Halloween and pumpkin carving!!

This link should show a slide show of our wonderful holiday!! Halloween is not my favorite but you know the kids love it!! I know it will kinda be a pain but for some reason it won't highlight but if you copy and paste it, then it will work wonderfully!! Thanks everyone!!

Bishop M

I have to write a little note about the most amazing bishop I have ever had and recently got released. Most bishops are called for a reason and we know this. I have to tell my story of  Bishop M.. I had just moved back from Utah and having a hard time having to move back in with my parents and things. I went to sacrament and this man comes up to me and says Hi I'm bishop M, and hi I'm Libbie, Rick and Cheryl's daughter. Bishop M then procedes to say to me, I just had a feeling I needed to come up to you and see how you are and that you need something from me. I got pretty teary eyed because really who comes up to you and says I think we need to talk!! So I went and talke to Bishp M, he was the most understandable man ever (of course that is why is bishop). He talked to me and told me what was going to happen and what I had to do and all through the while he never ever made me feel guilty or was hard on me. He made me feel loved by heavenly father, I knew it would be okay. He gave me confidence that I would get through this and and everything would be okay. Everthing worked out just as he said it would. A couple years later, I had the pleasure of Bishp M marrying Cain and I and he said words of encouragement once again to both of us, he came when we got married in the temple. I have so many great experiences with Bishop M and I am one of the many lucky ones his wonderful intuition got me back to church and married in the temple. He is a great man and what a lucky ward we were to have him as bishop. I'm lucky that I got to move back into the ward as he was getting released to be there for that wonderful testimony he gave.

Some of you may wonder why I am putting this on my blog but I use this as a little journal and I am going to print it off at the end of the year and I want my memory of Bishop M!!!!

Family Pictures

We had some family pictures taken a while back and wanted to share what my kids look like now.. I can't believe how fast they are growing up!! Its craziness and Cain well he hasn't changed a bit.. maybe more gray hair is all!!!

I love my friends.. what a life!!

Lately I have been thinking about all these things that are happening to very close friends of mine. Parents passing away, divorces, lay offs and others. I can't help but wonder why these things are happening to such great people. I wonder what is in store for them in the future or if that is a test here on earth, to see how much they can handle. My heart goes out to my friends that are having trials right now and I want them to know how much I care about them and what a blessing they are in my life and if there is anything I can do for them please let me know.


 
We have finally closed on our house on 07-12-2010, we are living out in Snake River on over a little over an acre. So far we have new appliances and a new paint job in the kitchen. I'm giving the house a make over as best I can (I'm not very creative, but I have good friends helping me!!) Thanks guys!! I will show before and after pictures of the kitchen as soon as it is all done. We have all our new appliances except our fridge which is on back order until August!! UG!!! I'm so excited to start this new chapter in our life!! The kids will have more room to play and maybe I will get my sanity back!!
