The Weekly Ten

It's been a while since I wrote my gratitude list. I've noticed that I've been grumpier since I stopped. I felt sorry for myself more when things would go wrong and it took me longer to bounce back. So I decided to get back realizing my many blessings. Here it goes:
I'm grateful for...

1. Mark finally deciding where to go to school. We can start moving forward and I can start making plans which is what I love to do and I'm good at it, even if most of mm plans don't come to pass.
2. For my sister, Kate, who has been such a HUGE help to me lately. She means so much to me and I only wish that she could see herself as we see her, a beautiful girl with so much courage and strength.
   
3. For my husbands family who has helped us so much. We are so looking forward to the family reunion this June.
4. For my sister, Sarah. She graduates from UVU this week. I'm so proud of her. She's worked so hard and grown so much.
   
5. For my parents who are always whiling to help us. They are such hard workers and love to make our house more of a home every time they visit.
   
6. For Mark's and my hobbies. I know that might sound weird but I love that we have different interests. He loves to go biking and play on the computer (I say play but what he really does it hunt for deals, he thinks I love to shop but shops so much more) and I love to sew and learn about royalty and historical rich people (I'm obsessed with learning about the Vanderbilts and other rich people. I love architecture and they have the coolest homes. Weird I know). I love our differences because we love to share them with each other.
7. For our ward. They are always so whiling to help and are such fun people. Such a great support to us.
8. For my girlfriends. I get to go to St George with my friend, Jill, and visit with my friend, Brandi, this next weekend. So great to have friends that live in warm vacation spots. I'm already grateful for the good times to be had.
9. For spring. It has been wonderful to spend time outside and get my shorts out. I'm a hot weather kinda girl and I'm lovin it.
10. Finally, I'm incredibly grateful for my Mark. He is going away on business again and when he goes I'm always reminded of all that he does for me. He brings me strength at the end of the day and gives me courage to get through another. He makes me smile and laugh at my own stupidity. He is the love of my life and I'll miss him terribly.
