Things I love...

This has been a very good month. I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude right now that I thought I'd share a few of the things that are making me so happy! :)

1. Adam is still here. By some miracle, the God of delaying Visas has delayed Adam's Visa for almost a month now, making it impossible for him to leave the country. Hallelujah! We've enjoyed every second.

2. I'm getting a new sister-in-law on Friday. I have yet to meet her, but I've only heard wonderful things about her which leads in to number...

3. I get to go to Utah tomorrow and spend the weekend with family! It's the best feeling in the world. I love my family and I can't wait to see them!

4. I love my callings. Being Choir Director is one of the most uplifting callings I've had. Hearing beautiful music sung by amazingly talented people is just a joy. I feel privileged to be around such talent. I also love that we had 10-12 men sing A Capella on Sunday. Oh my Goodness. I seriously got chills.

5. I have the best girl friends in the entire world. Oh, you know who you are. I love your wisdom, your flair, your humor, your compassion (even though you don't think you're compassionate), your ability to empathize and sympathize, your beauty, your talent, your courage, your passion, your spirit, your heart. You have the incredible ability to say just the right thing at the right time. I love you ladies.

6. I love my kids. They're absolutely gorgeous for one. I may whine about what a task it is to take care of them, but really, they are awesome kids. They're quick to obey. They're mellow for the most part. They're smart and funny. They do chores. They're adventurous. I really couldn't ask for better kids.

7. On a less mushier note, Sara N found the website for those dresses I wore on my cruise!!! They're made by Jody California. They're modest dresses that are comfortable and fabulous. I seriously felt like a princess while wearing mine. Oh, and they are priced fabulously too. I love them!!! They can also be found at some Utah Nordstroms.

I think that's it for now. I may be back later. :)

I love how you're so crazy and compassionate for your choir. I'm sure all the brothers and sisters are grateful that you are the choir director (me too. I love watching you direct!). And the brothers REALLY did an awesome job on Sunday. Hurray for your great month.
