My brother

I am thankful for my brother who is serving a mission for our church. He's a great example and I love him so much!

I am thankful for my wonderful, thoughtful and patient husband who tries each day to find ways of making me happy. I am also thankful for my 2 beautiful daughters who bring such great joy to my life!

Computers

Today I'm thankful for technology, specifically the computer, that allows me to do so many things including:
1. staying in touch with family
2. storing pictures in a organizer friendly way
3. buy things without every having to leave the house (you can call me lazy, I don't care)
4. making me feel like I'm saving the environment and not wasting trees (though I'm not really a tree hugger. I'm trying harder to do the 3 r's)
5. be totally up to date on anything and everything!

Radio and Rain

I have a couple of thankful thoughts for the day. I'm thankful for my 2 radio talk shows. Why? I live in the bluest of blue states and I have found 2 radio shows that are conservative. It's nice to hear similar views as mine in the media here every once in awhile. Second, I'm thankful for the weather today. It's overcast and rainy. I absolutely love the rain and it's so nice to think that it's cool enough today that I don't have to be paying for air conditioning.

Lot's to be thankful for, but here's a few that have been on my mind.

1. I'm thankful for my family. It was so nice to spend some time with them these past couple of week. I already miss them!
2. I'm thankful for airplanes that can take you cross country in less than 6 hours.
3. I'm thankful for my little girls.
4. I'm thankful for humidity. Coming back from vacation, I don't feel the need to use lotion.
5. I'm thankful for my little brother, Max who leaves for his mission in August!
6. I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.

My mission

I just keep getting one day behind. Yesterday I was thankful that I served in Russia when I did. Due to a new law in Russia that makes foreigners get visas renewed every 90 days, they are no longer sending North American missionaries to Russia. Those who are in Russia serving now, will stay and finish out there missions in Russia, but those who are in the MTC have been reassigned. Russia is a most special place and I am so thankful that I was able to serve there.

Yesterday

I missed yesterday, so here it is. Yesterday I was thankful for my husband! He tries so hard to be patient and helpful! I was also very thankful for nap time yesterday! Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my little girls, but nap time is always a nice little breather for me.
