So I love getting fun things in the mail and this is one magazine I love to get....it is FREE and fun...If you don't get it sign up here. Some of our best dinners have come from Kraft!! like this

I also got a package from a swap I was in and it has fun things in it. I ate all the chocolate, put on the lotion, wore the necklace, and put the perfume on....what a great day...so today I am thankful for the postman and good mail. I did get a bill in the mail but that could not ruin the fun things today!!!

Thankful for....

As I was driving in the car today I was thinking of what to post. I started thinking of silly things, so I thought I would make a list of random things I was thinking of

--green lights--I hate to stop
--living close to the church
--school bus --3 kids 3 different schools
--wind--blowing all the leaves to my neighbors yard
--garbage men that come and get my trash if i forget to put it out.
--hot showers and soap
--dishwasher
--phones
--clean socks
--spellcheck
--seasons changing
--airplanes-- maybe one day I can get to Ut in a day
and especially for blogging. It has reminded me that you can be thankful for anything!!!!

Today I am thankful for....FRIENDS...I love to get together with my friends. I have not been this close to a group of girls for a really long time. I am so enjoying our time together and learning how they handle life and stress. They are great examples to me of how to live my life in the church. I have watched them with their kids and they are great mothers and are good women .....They ALL are great at keeping there house clean and organized and that is something I need to do better. Maybe that will rub off on me if I hang out with them long enough.

Thankful for....

so this is kinda silly but I am thankful for ....the library..... I was raised in a small town and the only way to get books to read was the Book Mobile.. I am so glad that the library is just up the road from me. When I want to watch Pride and Prejudice all I have to do is see if it is there, then go pick it up!!(which happened this Saturday) love it...I have checked out home decorating books and while my mom was here she made me curtains from one of the books!! I have read so much more than I ever have and it is great!

Thankful for....

Today in Relief Society our lesson was on Joseph Smith. So today I am thankful for him and the tremendous sacrifice he gave for this church and for me. Because of him I have the Book of Mormon, I have the priesthood in my home. I have the blessings that come from the temple. I have his example of standing firm to his words and never denying that he saw Christ and The Father. I have the example of how to treat others, to be kind and share the gospel. I wish I could explain better how I feel through words my testimony of Joseph Smith and how he has impacted my life.

On Alisa's blog she is going to post a blessing a day for the rest of the month. I am going to borrow this idea from her and post things I am thankful for. So for today I am thankful for my fridge....When we moved into this house it didn't have a fridge. Our good friends the Mills (hi Julie) gave us their old one. It worked great until one day it just gave up. We had a great neighbor named Jack who sold used appliances and who had been over to fix my dryer several times. I went over to his house and he gave me a great deal on our "NEW" fridge. It is a lot bigger and now I can fit more ice cream in the freezer. The only thing is it makes funny noises, but I could live with it. Well today we all went to the store and I put some drinks in the freezer so when I got back they would be cold...anyway when we came back they weren't cold and the ice cream was melted! I just can't afford a new fridge right now and I just got sick thinking of the guest that are coming to stay over Thanksgiving. As I started getting things cleaned out I saw that it was turned "OFF". OH the JOY! Yeah! Relief! So today I am thankful for a fridge that works!!!! I know that one day soon it will go out on us, but it works today and for that I am grateful.......

PS.... this is not what my fridge looks like!!
