Bliss From Blessings #27, 26, and 25

25.
  • My first full day of my Christmas vacation. Holla-back youngins....two weeks off...woot woot!
  • Going walking with my friend Nicole. We don't get to talk often because all we do around my house is work, but she is so amazing. If anyone is an example of how to live your life happily, humble, and with courage....it's Nicole. I'm glad we get to have our morning walks this week.
  • Making a real dinner for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks. My poor husband has been surviving on scrounged up garbage from the kitchen. Seriously, it has not been pretty around here.
  • Dental insurance! It is so wonderful to go to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and walk out without one penny missing from my wallet. (besides my obvious monthly payment...but roll with me here...it saves me money)
  • Taking some time for myself at breakfast so I could read the Ensign and listen to the words of our living Prophet and Apostles.

26.

  • Tyler surviving a fever and a small bout of flu. He's not 100%, but oh what a difference a Sunday full of sleeping will make
  • Being able to sing in our wonderful church choir and totally feeling the spirit of Christmas and the truth of the gospel while we sang for our ward.
  • I love leading the music in Relief Society. I pick songs that go with our lessons, but most importantly I can take some time to teach all of those wonderful ladies a little bit about music. I think it is so much fun; one of my favorite callings ever.
  • Getting all of the presents in the house wrapped. There is still a few more to pick up, but everything is up to speed and under the tree!
  • Laying down and not worrying about what tomorrow may bring because Monday was all to myself.

27.

  • A visit from my friend Sush, from the office and his awesome wife Kristy. They came out to visit the Olive Mill near our house. They drove ALL the way across town so it was nice to visit.
  • I forgot to mention this like 8 million years ago, but my cousin Morgan had her little baby girl!!! Her name is Carsyn and she looks like a beautiful little doll. If she is only half as cute as her older brother, she will be a man eater.
  • A real date night with Tyler. We went shopping and he bought us two pretzels so we could sit on the bench and visit and people watch. It was so nice.
  • Visiting with some awesome ladies I go to church with. Once again, amazing people. I am so blessed to see their example and have their friendship.
  • An uplifting way to start my day with the final choir practice before our meeting on Sunday.
