Tonight we attended Stake Conference. It was good though we had to leave early because the boys were being such stinkers. The theme was about the tender mercies of the Lord. For the rest hymn we sang, "Count Your Many Blessings." I thought it would be valuable for me to just reflect on the many blessings I do have. I don't have a ton time to write, but I'll just do a few (on no particular order) -
a home • a wonderful husband • three sweet, healthy, loving children • the gospel • food to eat • a dependable job for us • good health • wonderful extended family on both sides • a dependable, comfortable car with heat and AC • eyesight • good friends • a wonderful mother • electricity • running water • an amazingly comfortable mattress • clothes to wear • a stand-up freezer • the ability to read and learn • freedom/living in the USA • a college degree • minimal debt • our own home • General Conference • prayer • great Ward • a great calling (RS teacher) • washer and dryer in my home •
okay - gatta get the little ones to bed - overall message - I am blessed and am grateful my life.

Great list. Don't you feel like you could go on forever about the things you are grateful for? I really like your new picture of the boys at the top of the page, it's so crisp looking and they are so cute those Reyes boys. I tried to do put a pix there on mine but it always ends up being too big and when I shrink it, it's not clear. How'd you do it? Your new layout is nice too.
