Bliss from Blessings #10

  • Having a mom that knows so much about animals...she will really come in handy when we have kids, I'm sure.
  • A wonderful Cara Cara orange today on the drive home! I peeled it during lunch so I could just pop those sweet pieces in my mouth as I drove. It was the best orange I have had in a LONG time.
  • An extra computer at work! I brought mine home to work from the house on Friday and forgot to take it with me on Monday morning! Thankfully I could grab the extra and just use my ID.
  • The ladies at church are such a blessing! They are full of support and inspiration and I know I could depend on them if I needed something. It is wonderful to be a part of their lives.
  • It was a blessing that only one puppy got sick while I was at work today...yikes! Unfortunately it was the big one that made a mess, but at least I didn't have to crawl in a small crate to clean it up...it was in a very convienent spot on the kitchen floor. Oh....the small things :)

Bliss from Blessings #11

  • Having the opporutnity to sing in a small group again. The other 7 people are SO talented and it has really helped me get back on my game. What a difference it makes when you just take about an hour a week to focus on building your talents!
  • Unexpected rain the other day! I love the rain!
  • Feeling like I am at a really good place in my personal life. I am happy and I am surrounded by people I want to be with. It's a nice place to be.
  • We are so blessed to live in the area we do. So far it has been a very safe and family oriented place to live. We don't expect it, but when we realize it, we recognize the tremendous blessing it is.
  • Having friends that are such wonderful mothers....you are such examples!

Bliss from Blessings #12

  • The foresight to buy ridiculous teal shoes that I couldn't justify in anyway but just had to have. I have used them so much and I am finding so many things they match with! YES!
  • Forgiveness for not following my legitimate promptings. I will buy a pair of shoes, but I will ignore the whisper to call someone and check on them. I have let myself down by not being there for friends when they really needed me lately. No matter if I talked to them 20 minutes ago, I am making a resolve to follow my spiritual promptings.
  • Going and coming safely during my trip to Minneopolis this week. I can't help myself, I always say a prayer before take off and before landing. I am very grateful for His watchful eye and protection.
  • I am grateful for the renewed energy to be a better person. No more slacking for me.
  • The weekend ahead is sure to be interesting. So many projects, so little time, and meager desire (haha). We'll see what happens but I am oddly looking forward to it.

Bliss from Blessings #13

  • A good morning breakfast with some invigorating hot topics and just enough stress to make the rest of the day seem like cake :)
  • A fun shopping trip with my girl Katelin! Thanks for going after all my reschedules....I am really excited about the stuff we picked out. I would have NEVER done it without you and I love it.
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie....
  • Feeling like I'm making some great friends at work. I've got some people that I know I could count on and it really makes a difference.
  • I am blessed to be able to make choices. Luckily, those choices have worked out for me which makes me feel even more blessed. "Our lives depend on the decisions we make, those decisions determine our destiny" - Thomas S Monson

Bliss from Blessings #14

  • A mid-day run to Ann Taylor Loft....can I PLEASE just buy all the pretty things I see!? I would love to throw caution (and my bank account) to the wind. It would feel so awful and so wonderful all at the same time. who are we kidding...I'm WAY to repsonsible for this
  • Fresh pink tulips at the front desk in the office
  • Talking to the conceirge desk at a fancy hotel for the first time. They just make you feel so special! I am so blessed to have the life opportunities given to me through my job. I have seen places and experienced things that I probably never would have on my own; Colorado, Nor Cal, Santa Barbara, Chicago, Texas, Food Shows, Being comfortable in all kinds of airports, riding in a new Camaro, eating at yummy restaurants. It's really fun.
  • Surviving my first homemade lasagna...I think it turned out pretty well.
  • A wonderful friend who doesn't mind that I have literally cancelled our lunch date at least 5 times. She is such a good sport. This call out is for you: THANKS KATELIN!!!
