LDS.org

This week I have been feeling grateful for lds.org. I am sure this seems like an odd thing to be grateful for but it is my homepage on my computer. Everytime I log on, I am greeting with gorgeous images tied to articles that serve as reminders of why I am here. I am just grateful to have such a positive reminder each time I log on.

B-day Pics

So I know it's a little late but here are some pics from my bday. I sure love my family...they are so cute!

It was a yummy spread! Lil sausages, queso, cheese & meat, crackers, veggies, lil sandwiches

Fondue and yummy orange water!

Sweet little puppy. I love her so much! She looks like a fox here. She's not, but she's so cute!

My Whole Foods cake! I love WFs! The cake is made with organic

ingredients and eggs from cage-free birds.

We played silly games, each of which I won, and my reward for each win was a present. My fam rocks!

Lisa had her birthday celebration a few days later and we went to a Russian restaurant and bath. We didn't do the bath part, but it was certainly a cultural experience! There was a part of the business (in between the bath and restaurant) where I swear the Russians were planning a takeover. They speak with such passion and the language is so harsh, it probably just seemed like a war party. :) Shoes (my bro-in-law) and Lisa have the same b-day so we celebrated his birthday by babysitting Miles so that Heidi and Shoes could go away for a weekend.

Gratitude

Today is such a beautiful day! Sun shinning, cool breeze, spending time with my mom and her puppy...it's just perfect. I am grateful for days like today.
