Gratitude: Catch-Up

I think I need to catch up on quite a few things I am grateful for:

Weekends. I live for the weekends. I love all the time I get to spend with Cam and the fact that we get to be as lazy or productive as we would like. If it's not the weekend, I'm spending my time looking forward to the weekend. Basically I just love the weekends.

Family. I know this probably deserves a whole post on it's own, but I have a pretty amazing family. I went to lunch with my sisters, grandma and mom yesterday and lucky for me this is about a biweekly occurrence. I love the time I get to spend with them and how great it is that we seek each other out as our preferred company.

Health. While I have already mentioned how grateful I am for my health while I have been pregnant (and even more gratefully it has continued), I have had a killer cold this past week that I thought may kill me. From sleepless nights to a stuffed up head, it has made me so grateful that a cold is the extent of my health woes. 

Home Projects. I think today I am more grateful that our home projects are complete, but I am grateful for the challenge and gratification that comes with them. Trust me, I have a post coming on this, but I think I am too exhausted to document it right now, but it brings me to my next thing...

Trent. I'm sure I could highlight all of my siblings, but with a large scale kitchen remodel in full swing, Trent came to our rescue more than once. Not only did he spare some of his very valuable time, he lent us tool after tool to finish our project. I'm also grateful that he was so willing to help through all of it, I am again so lucky to have such a great family.

Seasons. I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful place with such beautiful changes of the seasons. I love the mild fall we have had and that snow is coming. Nothing says "the holidays" like snow.

The Gospel. What a blessing to have the knowledge of the true gospel and the prospective it provides. With a little one on the way, I am even more grateful for the blessing of our temple marriage and the promise of forever.

This list could go on, but I'll just try to stay on top of it for the next few days. Thank goodness we have such a wonderful time of year that helps us remember all that we have.
