I am thankful 4...


1. Work. Mark has been busy this fall. It can be exhausting having him gone so much, but we are both so grateful that are needs are being provided for.


2. Callings. They stretch us, teach us, introduce us to new people who become great friends. They challenge our ability and give us confidence to do new things.


3. Todd & Julie. Todd is my cousin. His dad is my mom & Christy's younger brother. He was out of the county when Christy died, but wanted to be with grandma and grandpa. He flew to Portland the Thursday following her funeral and spent a few hours with us in the afternoon and then dinner that evening. I don't see him much, we hardly talk at all. In fact the last time I saw him was at Lake Shasta when I was barely pregnant with Belle. *BUT* I love him! It felt nice to hear about his exciting adventures, and just be by him. Funny how even though we don't see each other often, when you're family...you're family. Julie is his sweetheart and maybe one day she will be family also. She is delightful!


4. I am grateful that there is an indoor pool in this funny little town.
