I know I've said it before, but I have the best friends in the world.  They take care of me and my family.  I am a very blessed girl.

I am grateful that today Ben doesn't have to wear a sweater to school.

I am very grateful for the ward we live in.  Our ward family is seriously the best.

I am very grateful that I earned 200 out of 200 on my final research paper in my English class.  This is a Christmas miracle in April.

I am grateful that Wendy's Kids Meals come with a mini size frosty and that Eliza never wants to eat hers.

I am grateful for a body that can move.  Me and my body have not always been on speaking terms.  I'm learning little by little to appreciate it more.  But today I walked/jogged on a treadmill for 31 minutes, and it felt good.

I am grateful for waking up to sunshine on this beautiful Sunday morning.  "There is sunshine in my soul today."

I am so grateful that my English class is almost done.  Give me biology any day of the week over English.

I am grateful for friends who are willing to be my workout buddies.  Because who wants to go to the gym alone?  Not me.

I am grateful for my minivan.  What would I do without it?  Even with all of its quirks it gets me and my family where we need to go and sometimes where we want to go.

I am grateful a home to live in with my family.

I am grateful for a just and all-knowing Father in Heaven.  I believe everything will work out in the end, and if it hasn't been worked out, then it is not the end yet.

I am grateful for people who are willing to help us with our kids.  It takes a village.

I am grateful for healthy children. 

I am grateful for the opportunity I have to further my education.  It is not always easy being a student and a parent at the same time, but it is very gratifying to have success in both.

I am grateful for Monday mornings.  You may think I'm crazy, but I do really well with a schedule and routine.  So do my kids.  Although I love the weekends with Sam, I am usually ready for routine by Monday.

I am very grateful for my granny Frances Shutts.  Despite trial and adversity she has always remained true to her faith.  She is an awesome example of a strong woman.  Happy birthday Granny.

I am grateful for a modern day prophet, Pres. Thomas S. Monson.  I'm excited to listen to him today and tomorrow.

I am grateful for my mother in law.  I don't want to brag, but she is the best.

I am grateful for hair color and hair cuts.  They are always refreshing.

I am grateful Camille found Baby Dolly.  She was sorely missed.
