BLESSINGS

Sometimes in our lives all of our problems get so over whelming! all of the little things add up into this great big huge problem that weighs us down! I have been feeling that way lately with the econemy going the way it is and with my sweet little brother in iraq its very easy to get overwhelmed!
so when that happens I have to stop and take a few minutes to count my blessings and that helps everything even out for me! we have so much to be thankful for! we have 3 healthy happy little boys, Dave has a very good job, He and I are both healthy, we have a warm dry place to live, we have food to eat, all of our extended family are healthy and have warm places to live and food to eat and while we have many wants we don't have many un met needs.
We really enjoyed our thanksgiving this year! we had wonderful food and amazing company! our boys were so excited to play with their cousins! they didn't want to leave when it was time. they already made plans for us to go back to idaho in august for bradys bithday. But hopefully we will be home for easter too.
I even got to go on a date with my sweet sister inlaw Jen! we went and saw the new Twilight movie, it was very good! (if you haven't seen it and read the book you should because it was very good!) We had a ball!
I also was able to hang out with my mom and get my hair done which is always fun. we always have really good visits!
It is good we went when we did because the wheather has started into winter, we had a storm last tuesday that was bad enough that it took me a hour to get to davids work and a hour to get back home! and it is snowing agian today. not as much thoughg, we only have abt a inch of new snow. but it will be good to have a white christmas. I just hope Ben dosen't pick a night like tuesday night to be born!
I have a docters appointment tomorow to see how things are going. my new due date is january second. so he could come anytime now. but I am thinking closer to the 19th or 20th of december. If he decides to come on grandpa Brians bithday on January 13th they are both in big trouble! lol!
