Things I am greatful for...

First and foremost - I am thankful for my family. We had a rough weekend this week. Andy ended up in the hospital for observation due to pneumonia. He has been sick for over a week and was not getting better. His doctor finally told him that since he was not responding to two coursed of antibiotics - something else could be wrong. Thank goodness - nothing else was. They said most likely it was viral and would just take longer to get over. I am so grateful for the family that stepped in this weekend to help us out. We got the kids taken care of and I was able to spend the time at the hospital with Andrew.

Next - I am grateful for the idea that all good things must end.. I know that is weird but, I have been working very hard over the last several months to put together my agency Annual Meeting - and it is finally over!! YEAH! Life will be much less stress and more relaxed for the next several months (until I start planning for the next one). This was probably the best one I did - I received so many compliments about the workshops and awards - it was great to know all that hard work was appreciated. But again - I am SO glad it is over.

Finally - I am grateful for children! Today was our ward's primary program. Thomas and Kate did their part as well as my little class of five and six year olds. They all did great. The spirit was strong and the members in the congregation were obviously touched. There is something great in a child's testimony and I felt very honored to be a part of this. Again - thanks to the grandparents who came to support my children in their program.

Well - this week was a tough one - and we still survived! It is funny in life how when you are in the midst of "stuff" you think - how am I ever going to get through this... But when it is over, and you can look back - you think, "this wasn't so bad - and I am grateful for the experience!"
