kids that teach me about the important stuff in life, and make me a better person. a steady income. a warm home. a handsome and talented husband and devoted father. red vines. my hair which i sometimes hate. the gospel. my father's wisdom. my testimony. prayer.
red mango frozen yogurt. baby bottoms in the tub. temples. a good knock me down realization that i'm not perfect and am sometimes wrong. cafe rio salads. diet coke, oooo, and cherry diet coke. beach vacations. sourdough toast. chocolate milk. my mother's friendship.
people who are funny. zupas-cheddar cauliflower soup. thumbprint cookies from the nordstrom e-bar. house guests. good company. a good get your hands dirty do-it-yourselfer. a dependable car. generosity. beautiful giant snowflakes last friday night in slc. pecan pie- the only redeeming quality of thanksgiving dinner, next year i swear i'm making tamales. gab time with friends. my sister and the sweet baby #4 growing in her tummy.
modern medicine: especially since olive had a uti last week=tmi i know, there's more.
getting a sample from her at the pediatrician's while harrison attempted to play in the toilet was like a circus act. she completely soaked her clothes and walked out of the dr's office in a courtesy gown, her little bottom exposed to the breeze. not one of our better days, but she held her head up high. atta girl.
yep, REAL thankful for modern medicine and antibiotics when they're needed.
good photographs. heart to hearts. a garage. white peonies, ranunculus, succulents. the sweet smell of new babies. a backyard. warm boots and scarves in the winter. holiday lights and music except for the real annoying songs that get WAY too much radio play. parumpapumpum...shoot me. and simply haaa-aaving a wonderful christmas time (ever since aubry posted it in her facebook status i can't get it out of my head.) make it stop!
the ability to sleep like a rock most every night.
colorful spaces. clever ideas. handmade blankets. a dishwasher. a hot shower every day. the magic of the holidays.
