just a few things to be happy about now:
1. three day weekend! Can we get a "hallelujah!?" School has officially been in session for 6 weeks now and although it has been a good year of teaching I am so ready for a little break and an easier week this coming week!
2. a fun trip with my parents and husband yesterday. they took us on a fun train ride up in the beautiful mountains. we enjoyed the fall leaves, yummy snacks, and saw some eagles!
3. fall treats. my list of things to bake is getting longer and longer each day.
4. my third bowl of cocoa krispies today.
5. stake conference (this weekend) and general conference (last weekend) that has just let me uplifted and strengthened. now I just need to put into practice all that I learned.
6. working on a scrapbook.
7. carly's (our puppy) baby book that came in the mail! now before you think I'm totally crazy, we had a coupon and so it was free.
8. listening to Christmas music. yes, I know it is October.
9. BIRTHDAY week! and the permission that Richard gave me to do some "hardcore birthday shopping" (his words, not mine!) tomorrow for myself. I AM SO EXCITED. Ross, Old Navy, Target, Famous Footwear, Hobby Lobby, here I come!
10. happiness that comes from following the Lord's plan. every once in awhile I feel the need to look up things about in-vitro and other medical procedures that could maybe, possibly, perhaps work for us. but then I feel really, really cranky. and I'm learning that the Lord's plan is always better than mine and when I follow it, I feel much happier. adoption is way for us right now. it's hard waiting but it will be worth it in the end.
1. HALLELUJAH!!!! I wish I got one of those too! But you definitely deserve it!
ReplyDelete2. Field trips with parents are always so awesome -- it's funny how much more you appreciate it when you're grown than you did when you were a kid.
3. If you find you have too many things baked, feel free to send some to me to eat. ;)
4. Cocoa Krispies... YUMMMMMMM......
5. Applying what you learn in those inspiring conferences is always the hardest part! good luck!
6. I wish we lived closer so we could have scrapbooking parties and eat lots of yummies while we worked. :)
7. I wanna see Carly's baby book! I would definitely have to do one for Berlin afterwards LOL
8. Wow, I'm barely breaking out the Halloween stuff! Don't make me feel behind already! hahaha
9. Happy Birthday to You, Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday dearest Emily...... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
10. Thanks for the reminder... patience is definitely not one of my virtues, but it's definitely something the Lord tests frequently!
LOVE YOU MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND!!!
