Grateful

Today I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Do you ever have days like that? The last couple of weeks I have been really trying to think everyday how I have seen the Lord's hand in my life or in the lives of my family. Today I feel like there are so many!
-Our health.
-Jared's job. They laid off 3 employees last week, and it was really hard on everyone(it is a really small firm, so 1/4 of the company in one day)
-My friends. Sometimes I am just blown away by how amazing they are and how lucky I am to associate with so many amazing, inspiring people.
-Emma. I love her dance moves and her big grin. They are both contagious and we end up doing silly dance moves and laughing all day.
-Madelyn. She has been super cuddly lately(in between crawling and cruising everywhere) and I'm loving it. It's like she knows I'm not ready for her to be so independent so she cuddles to let me know she is still my baby.
-Jared. I'm in love. He's makes me a better person and treats me so well.
-Scriptures. Honestly, I always thought it was a little cliche when people said their day just goes better when they read their scriptures first. Seriously, I can't go throughout my day without them!
-My Calling. I learn and grow so much through it. I have sharing time all month and have really enjoyed preparing for it.
-Our Home. Watching everything on the news this morning about the earthquakes and tsunamis has really gotten me thinking. I'm so glad I have somewhere to go.
-Family. I love that I can call any of my siblings, Jared's siblings or our parents when I need something and they would do it in a second. I'm really realizing how amazing our families are and how blessed we are to be a part of them.
-The little things. There was a robin in my yard this morning. I woke up before my girls and was able to get lots done before they woke, mainly mentally. The sun is shining through my window. It feels like spring. My girls are giggling in the bath tub right now. I'm so blessed!
