Blessings

I know its November and everyone writes about what they are thankful for and the blessings in there lives! I don't know if anyone reads this or if I just put it out there for me but this morning I am feeling very blessed! These past few weeks have been a little chaotic around here. Garet is finishing his last few weeks of school, working hard for us and we moved last week.

I don't stress very much, I never really have but when I do stress it really gets me. I hate clutter, I hate things not clean the way I like them, and I hate not having control over some things. With this past week being as crazy as it has been I started to get down and upset over things I really have no control over. I don't blog very often, I don't have anything too exciting to say but that doesn't stop me from reading other peoples blogs... Anyway, we got our internet hooked up thanks to my amazing husband and his patience so I decided to read peoples blogs. I started with a good friend of mine who wrote some amazing words about her experience becoming a mother than went through a few others and ended with another one I don't read very often. She had posted an amazing video that I stole hence the last post and I really started to think. I ended up going to the website she got the video from and watching some other amazing videos. As crazy as this last week has been I have been so blessed. My dad and my sister in law helped us move which I am so grateful for there help, we got a month free of rent which is a HUGE blessing for us, and I have the opportunity to be with my sister today when she needs someone to help her!! Than tomorrow my sister in law is coming down to hang out and have her big brother change her oil for her.

I am so blessed to have an amazing husband who loves me with every thing he has, he does so much for us and I hate when he gets grouchy which comes with everything on his plate right now but he tries and works so hard so we can have a good life.
I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life. When I sometimes lose sight of where I need to be I know where I can turn. I know my Heavenly Father is there for me and loves me and really is watching over me.

I am grateful for my friends and family who love me and care for me.

Anyway I just thought I would throw that out there. Hope everyone has a great month and remembers to be thankful for the small and simple things.

Come What May & Love It

will eventually be returned one hundredfold with tears of rejoicing."
