My life is so blessed, that often times blessings come my way and I over look the fact that they are blessings.
For Example~ We made this sudden move to Southern Idaho, I was not happy here so the boys and I went back home. (a year ago)We started struggled at home after being there 7 months without Aaron. We only saw him one weekend every 6 weeks if we were lucky. It was tough. When I finally gave up and wanted us to be together where ever it was, I put the house up on the market again. One week later it was sold and 3 weeks later we were here. That is a strange blessing but I am so thankful to be together as a family again!
When we started this whole building thing we picked out a lot and started the finance process of the deal. We had some problems with paper work at the bank (long weird story). We were let down and frustrated. But the bank drug its feet long enough, that we found another lot for 15,000 less just around the corner and closer to the park. Blessing in disguise.
My kids are happy and healthy. So many families struggle with the health of one or more of there children or spouse and we are all healthy and active.
My little guys try so hard to do whats right. They are learning daily, although they fall daily sometimes hourly they get back up dust off and try again. I love it when they ask me questions about the church. I see there little wheels in motion trying to understand where Jesus is and "Mom, tell me again why Jesus got Baptised." that comes from Casen my 4 year old. A little blessing that would of passed my by if I wasn't paying attention.
Two weeks ago we as a family had the opportunity to pick corn with some friends. We jumped on the opportunity. It was a lot of fun!! That night when we got home, 4 hours later. My eyes started itching. I itched they a little and wet my face down, took a cool shower but still my eyes swelled shut. They were swollen shut after 30 seconds. I have had allergies all my life but never a reaction so quick like that. I am very thankful for the ability to see. After my eyes being swollen shut for 2 days and huge nasty purple and red bags under my eyes. I was called the 1 eyed 1 horned flying purple people eater & the Elephant Woman. I am so thankful for sight.
Today we were working at the house of course. Aaron and I were working either in the garage or in the house. Casen comes running "Mom, help Cody is stuck in a hole". My first thought was a hole there arnt any big enough for him to be stuck in around here. Clayton jumped out of the back of Aaron's truck and said "mom I'll take care of it." He jumped down and ran, I had a bad feeling there really arnt any hole around he could be stuck in so whats going on?? I ran around back and sure enough he was stuck in a hole. They had been out the day before and dug for fences so for little guys of course you need to get in and explore them puppys. Cody kinked his leg getting in and had it stuck, every time Casen then Clayton and then I pulled him to get him up he screamed in pain. I couldn't see in the hole. It was too dark and not much open room around him. I throw off my coat and started shoveling dirt out with my hands when I saw his little leg folded in half, like an L in the hole so every time we pulled it lodged in tighter. Finally I took his little leg kinked it a little and pulled him out. He was so afraid. I am thankful for the spirit that told me to check on my little guy anyway.
Tonight we went to some friends home for a birthday party. We had a lot of fun it was nice. But I am so thankful for a husband that lives the same standards as I do. I am thankful for the gospel that sets guides for us for example: The Word of Wisdom.
This although it seems like a book is only a few things. The Lord has truly blessed my life and our lives as a family. We truly have so many things to be thankful for.
They played there last game at the new High School. It was a huge deal!!
