Today I am grateful for a handy husband. Today alone, he has fixed the car and my cookie baller! I am so proud of him and the skills he is always learning at work and on his own. His drive to be so productive has definitely had an impact on me for the better. Last week we spent about $300 … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
I’m going with the better late than never excuse again… Today I am grateful for talents and ambitions. I’m also grateful for a husband who encourages and pushes me to become better at the things I want to be better at. Yesterday I was talking to my coworkers and we got on the subject of Netflix. I told them I … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today I am grateful for the close relationships I have with my family now that I am older. In high school I wasn’t a real barrel of fun when it came to hang out with my family. For some reason, being around my family made me irritated, and I just could not stand them… Thankfully, I have grown out of … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
I am a major slacker at this blog posting on time thing, but it’s Tuesday all day long, so technically I’m not late. Today I am grateful for good music. Yesterday we drove to Blanding, UT where we stayed at Dallas’ families house for the 4th. Anyone who knows me well, or has been on a road trip with me, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today I am grateful for a lot of little things: long walks, warm sunlight, bubble gum ice cream, UPS packages, pizza, and a husband who brings me lunch when I forget that I’m supposed to work until 3. I don’t think anything calms me down more than long walks in the sun and ice cream. Some days you just have … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today I am grateful for tender mercies. You know those days that feel so off and you can’t figure out what it is wrong, but you just want to stop feeling weird and start feeling good again? Yesterday was one of those days. After work, I came home and just fell asleep on the couch at lunch instead of eating. … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Last Saturday I decided it was finally time for me to mop our nasty kitchen floor. I had put it off long enough, and I was mad about something, so I became the crazy cleaning lady. It took me an hour, and my hands were pretty raw from scrubbing on my hands and knees. I also decided to attempt refashioning … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
A few of us have heard the metaphor that if we were to all put our trials on a table and choose who’s trials we would rather have, we would pick our own trials back up. Many of you have probably seen the latest cover of Vanity Fair and the photograph of Bruce Jenner with the quotation, “Call me Caitlyn”. … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Yesterday was a good day to reflect on the brave and courageous people in my life who have served our country. My Grandpa Nielson served in Vietnam, and I know it was really hard for him to leave his family. It was a very hard war. When we were there visiting last year, he started telling me a few stories, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today I am especially grateful that my basic needs have been met my entire life. After going to California and being in much bigger cities than the one we live in, I noticed a lot more people who didn’t have food or shelter, and most of their belongings were with them in a bag or cart. I was so worried … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
