I have been thinking about a lot of things lately like should I go back to school, should we start our family, should I find a new job, where are we going to grad school, and what will the future bring. I get caught up in the future sometimes that I forget to enjoy each day. So today I thought I would write about what makes me happy about right now. Things that make me smile each day.
-When I dropped Andrew off at school this morning he put on his cute brown nerdy lab goggles and gave me the biggest smile and waved to send me off. I love him!
-I got to talk to my sweet sister Ashley and hear her talk so patiently and lovingly to her darling little girls (Ainsley and Emmaline). Ainsley was so excited to try on the new clothes Ash and Rom had gotten her she accidently put them on backwards, instead of telling Ainsley that she had put them on backwards, Ash told her they looked cute that way too! I love that little family! Happy Birthday late Rom we love you!
-I have a loving Mother and Father that did the same for me. They always encouraged me in everything I did even if I did it the wrong way first. My parents are always trying to help us and encourage us in all we are doing. I love them!
-Bre and Ben always make us feel welcome when we come over to visit. Poor Bre even turned off part of her favorite shows "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" the other day when we came over. Bre and her family are a joy in our lives. Noah comes and gives you hugs or tells you he loves you just when you need it.
-Brett and Ali are always so sweet to text me even when I'm sure their lives' with five children never stop. I'm grateful for them and their examples. Their sweet baby twins will be one in just a few days! Happy Birthday babies we love you! Eliza, Hunter, and Hannah always make us smile. Eliza is our little adult that is great at giving hugs, Hunter is always thinking of his next project (he definately gets this from his Dad), and Hannah is always so sweet to let me hold her.
-Andrew's parents and Ster are also so supportive of us. They make the best Sunday dinners complete with appetizers, main course, dessert and games. What more could you ask for.
-We have the best friends in the world. They are so loving and accepting of me and my imperfections! Thank you Katie and Scott, Annie and Brian, Ashley and Jared, Maggie, Brittany and everyone else. Thanks for calling and texting and listening.
-And most importantly I know the one thing that will never change in this world is the gospel. I'm so grateful for Conference and the messages that were shared. I know that our Heavenly Father lives and that he loves us and wants us to be happy. I know that the Savior knows us all individually and that he wants to help us through every step in life.
So where ever these boots take me I know that I will always have people to make me smile and help me along the way.
Sorry I feel like this post is a little silly, but I needed to write it. So thanks for reading!
