32

I recently turned 32 and thought it would be good to write down at least 32 of my blessings. Partly because I don't think I have been as greatful as I should be for them. I don't know if they will be in any particular order but I will just get them out. (I was explaining them but it was taking too long so I am just posting this.)

1-Glen- he is good and good to me and our kids. I am so happy I have him to go through life and beyond with.
2-my children - I feel like I have been given or shown plenty of times how special and privileged I am to have healthy children but I still forget too often. They add so much to my life and are a major part of what I do each day. 
3-my mom- I am infinitely grateful my life and challenges are different than my mom's. She has lived most of her life with out her parents.
4-my dad- he's such good example of some one that is doing hard things and staying pretty positive about it. Paramedic school at 60 is no joke plus he hardly ever mentions his aches and pains and he has them. He just keeps shuffling along. 
5-good parent in-laws- They are super. So helpful and generous and well educated and fun. 
6-my siblings- I have two amazing brothers and two amazing sisters I grew up with and we all still like each other and help each other out and support each other. They are so great! 
7-sibling-in-laws- I don't think I could have picked more diverse people to marry my siblings or marry in too but they are good people and help me see the world in different ways all the time.
8-Evelyn and Roberta- I am so glad that Heavenly Father put these ladies in my life to fill in for the grandparents I didn't get to know. It is one of the biggest blessings of my life to get to work for them.

10-the gospel of Jesus Christ
11-sleep

Kayci -- I'm so shocked I missed this post. Happy belated birthday (by an embarrassing number of months.) I love the way you write things down that truly mean something.

When it's summer, I often visit the older posts on your blog to get a break from the Phoenix heat. You are a treat.

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
