Blessed

My cousin Amberly has challenged everyone to be more grateful this month.  I am going to try and step it up and post the things I'm grateful for more often than once a week for this month.  Join us!  It will be fun!

This past weekend we had a wonderful stake conference and I'm so grateful for that!  I'm grateful for leaders who are in tune with the spirit and who know exactly what I need to hear.  It was about families and temples.  Two simple things that bring me so much joy. 

I am grateful for my opportunity to vote.  Exercised that right last night and it felt good to check that off.

I'm really grateful for the internet.  I can find pretty much anything I am wondering about in an instant.

I'm so glad Thanksgiving is three short weeks away.  I decided that I'm not going to have any sweets (except Sundays...I need a cheat day) until Thanksgiving.  I ate way too much crap with Halloween here and I felt super fat, so here's to having self control!  I have already passed up a piece of chocolate cake Adam brought home last night, candy in the office, ice cream in my freezer, and some super yummy looking caramel apples from our friends, the Sullivan's - I'm hoping those will last in the fridge til Sunday!  See, I'm doing so good! :)

In other news... the other day Clara said my name...Krista, not Mom...seems too early to be doing that, but I think it's kinda cute.  She must have heard Adam call me that and decided she would join in.  I have been dealing with a cold this past week and with it comes lots of gross gunky stuff and losing my voice.  Clara kept saying 'Mommy' with a really low voice trying to mimmick my voice.  She makes me crack up a few times every day!  Love that girl!
