Today I am Thankful For...

... Air Mattresses
... Warm Bed
... Sleep

At 1:30am this morning I was woken to water in my bed (ha,ha- we have a water bed). There is obviously a leak in our bed and with time it finally went through the mattress pad and I woke up to the leg of my pajamas all wet. When we striped the bed we found that water was all over and under the mattress. So the fun begins with emptying the water out tonight and finding the leak, fixing it and refilling the bed. So at 2am I got the air mattress filled it up and made the bed so we could try to finish getting some sleep. When I crawled into the bed, it made me grateful for a warm bed that I climb into every night- this bed was COLD. I never sleep as well on an air mattress or regular mattress for that matter, it makes me grateful for a good night sleep in my water bed. One more night of the cold air mattress and not great sleep. Hopefully we'll be able to find the leak and get it fixed, so I can get back to my good night sleep!

What Should You Be?

You Should Be a Manager

You're very organized, motivated, and methodical. Fair and objective, you can see all sides of a conflict. You are a good mediator. You are task oriented. You do well with deadlines and schedules. And while you can be a task master at times, you're good at managing people and listening to their input. You do best when you: - Must have attention to detail - Are in charge of people You would also be a good accountant or personal assistant.

What Should You Be When You Grow Up?

I think that this might just fit well- plus I have had this job before!!

President Gordan B. Hinckley

I too was very shocked at the news of losing our dear prophet President Hinckley. I am so grateful to our loving Heavenly Father for preserving the lives of those who have served as the Prophet and Quorum of the Twelve and when he feels it time to take them home, he does it fast and without a lot of suffering. I have watched my grandfather over the past year really decline and all the pain he has endured going from hospital to nursing home and back and forth. Isn't amazing how these brethren are spared and taken care of until their time to return home? I am not saying that they don't have pain or that it has always been an easy passing, but most of them have been at their homes surrounded by the family that loves them so much. What an amazing blessing. President Hinckley will surely be missed but his legacy lives on. He did a wonderful job and accomplished so much the last 13 years. I also take comfort in knowing that the Lord will direct the next prophet as well. We are a blessed people to have a real prophet of God guiding us and caring for us. The story from lds.org.

Try a Little Harder, To Be a Little Better!

I Think It Was Worth It...

Don't you? We have followed the advice of several of our leaders and we have given ourselves both an "allowance" fund. Once a month a small amount of money is put into each of our accounts so that we can spend money on whatever we want without having to answer to each other about where the money came from. Well last month I spent my money on these... After what I thought was sever questioning from Jamey on how I bought them we didn't talk for the rest of the day. He claims that he was only teasing, but I guess it's one more explanation on how we need to learn how to communicate better. All in all- I think that a minor argument and a day of not talking was well worth these very stylist and beautiful shoes!
