Out of all the Grati-Tuesdays this year, I hope you take a minute or a few this week to realize how blessed you really are. Dallas and I have written ours down on a poster I put up earlier this month in the hallway and it’s gotten pretty full. This week I am grateful for good health. Last week I … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Without getting too controversial, today I am grateful for an education. I am grateful that I was lucky enough to be born in America. I am grateful that I was lucky enough to be born into a family not in poverty, who was able to love, support, and take care of me. I am grateful that I was lucky enough … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today, I was getting ready to leave work around noon to go eat lunch with Dallas. Usually, I just walk out to the car and wait for him, but this time I just told him to let me know when he was walking out to the car and I would meet him out there. When I was walking to the … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today, I am grateful for a husband who makes me laugh. Even after three years, we still make each laugh. Like, really laugh (ok, sometimes I sarcastically laugh). When I was growing up, I saw a lot of older couples where the husband was so funny, but the wife didn’t really seemed very amused anymore. For some reason I thought … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
On Sunday during church, the teacher read this quote: “What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday.” Now, even though it would take a heck of a long time to thank Heavenly Father for everything that I am grateful for every day, it is important to remember the things that I have throughout … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Yeah. I just did that. No, it shouldn’t become a regular occurrence, but here’s the thing – My senior-itus has senior-itus. If you look up the definition on Google (Yes. It’s real.) the definition is spot on. But I’m no quitter, so here is my Grati…Thursday. Whatever. 🙂 I really wanted to write this post this week because I have … Continue reading “Grati…Thursday”
With the new graphic design job, school, and other projects, Tori’s been pretty busy, and today you get to hear from me. My name is Dallas, and I am Tori’s husband. This year has been full of the kinds of learning experiences that are uncomfortable at best and downright painful at their worst: changes at work, changes at school, learning … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
This picture was taken yesterday when I was hurrying to take landscape pictures for my Photography class, before we got washed out by the rain. While we were driving up the canyon, Dallas was telling me to look out for where I wanted to take my last pictures. When you get up to the very tops of the mountains around … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today I am grateful for color. I thought about writing this, but then I had a blind student walk passed me a minute ago and knew I had to write it. Life would be so dull without color or not being able to see at all. I am grateful for a Good who has given us wonderful bodies and this … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
One of my favorite quotes is, “What you take for granted, someone else is praying for.” I was talking to my mom other day and we weren’t talking about this quote specifically, but the same principle. We were talking about a book that I got us both when we were having a rough time at the beginning of the year. … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
