SO here it goes things I am thankful for:
1. I can have healthy, happy, beautiful children. I may get frustrated with them, but I love them and thank Heavenly Father that I am blessed to be a mother. I know there are many out there that have/do struggled with the challenge of being able to have children.
2. That we live in base. It is rare, and several people I am sure thought we were crazy to have left family/support for a place unknown. For a risk, in a way. But living here has meant that even though Todd got called out again today, he was able to come home yesterday and didn't have to leave until 11 this morning. I got a night with him. Living in UT that would not have been possible and we would have had to pay for a hotel for him to stay in.
3. My husband has a job. I know over the past few years with the hard economy that is a HUGE blessing. He has stayed employed the whole time. I am thankful that he is willing and able to go to work to provide for us.
4. Friends and Family that support us. Even when I have bad days and not very nice to listen to, my friends and family do. They have supported us through all the changes good and bad. They have all been there. I miss them terribly, a lot of the time, but I am looking for new friends here and I know they will come.
5. The most important thing. The Gospel. I am SO thankful that I have the Gospel in my life. My testimony grows each day as I watch the little miracles that come everyday to help me make it through one more night of Todd being gone, or the kids being out of control, or whatever. I hope and pray that I can teach my children correct principles and that as they go to school every day they make good decisions and be good examples. That prayer has taken on such new meaning living here. But I love the missionary opportunities.
That's it for today, but I'd say it's a good start. I am working on changing my attitude, because change comes from me.
