Well, when RA is kicking your butt each day, it is hard to get on and type lol. My hands haven't been working so well lately and usually after the boys go to bed I am upstairs and DONE coming down for the evening. So tonight I made an extra special effort to get back down and hang out and blog! Because this blog is very precious to me. It has helped me through so many difficult times! I can't even believe I have had a broken bone and a surgery during this next 365 days blog lol that totally cracks me up, but hopefully it gives people hope that even in the darkest of times, there are happy moments to be had around every corner!
So Mon-Wed here I go! I am so thankful for my little family. We have had some fun and cold days this past week! It has been so nice to snuggle up with my family and have Family Home Evening for the first time in our upstairs family room. It was so wonderful to share a lesson and then head over to the bedrooms! I am SO grateful that David hooked up the TV up there as well so I don't have too far to go on the nights I don't want to go downstairs to watch television!
Tuesday-my friend Lanay asked if I would come hang out with her while she did a laundry day, so I brought over some Starbucks hot chocolates and pumpkin scones and we had a great day of laundry and laughter! I am beyond grateful for the friendships that I am making out here! I have barely lived here 5 months but I feel like I have known some of the people out here for years. It is so wonderful to have friendships with people who are so strong in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and who we can share gospel experiences together! We had pizza instead of Taco Tuesday because I went to an activity at church. It was so much fun hanging out with the ladies from church and getting to know other people better! We have so many wonderful and funny gals in our ward!
Wed- I had the opportunity to watch my friend's daughter for most of the day while she attended classes. We had so much fun together! I bought her a pretty hair band with a blue flower (because I don't GET to buy pretty hair bands with flowers like....ever! lol) We had a nice lunch together and played with toys and then went and picked up Connor and then Joel and her brother. It was fun having kids over and having everyone play! I made pot roast for dinner (I cannot not even explain how much I love cooking in my kitchen!) and we had buttermilk biscuits to go with it. Tonight we headed out to Target to get some gloves and mittens for the kids. It is supposed to be in the high 30s/low 40s in the morning and I want those kids nice and toasty warm! Especially as Joel walks to school!
Well, there is my 3 days of thankfulness! I am so thankful for friendships made here in Texas. I am so grateful for my family and the love we have. I am really thankful that I will be headed to bed early this evening because I am so tired! I hope all of you are enjoying this month and what ever weather you are getting where you live!
