Happy Birthday to Me

32 things I'm grateful for on my 32nd birthday. Okay. That's excessive. Let's do 10.
1) Good friends....the kind you laugh with, and cry with, and laugh til' you cry with.
2) Patient kids. I mess up alot, and they forgive me.
3) The temple. I went there with my mom today. Man, I love that place.
4) My mom. She gave me life, and continues to teach me about it. Same goes for the greatest dad ever.
5) My sisters. They are as good as they get.
6) My brothers. None of them wished me a Happy Birthday, but Jon wished me a Happy Earth Day. I wouldn't change one thing about any of them.
7) A really funny husband who isn't nuts, but doesn't mind that I am.
8) The gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the greatest blessing I have, and without it I'd be lost.
9) A body that functions properly, water butt and all. My brain might trip me up, but my body is strong and able. I'll take what I get and be grateful.
10) Change. I'm glad I'm not who I was a year ago. I hope on my 33rd birthday I can say the same thing. I have a long way to go, but thanks to blessings one through nine, I'm getting there.

Happy Birthday Harry B!

Words fail to describe all the joy you bring into my life. I feel so lucky to be the lady who gets to be your mother. Thank you for making me smile and laugh every single day. You fight hard to do things that come easy to most of us and you don't complain about it. You remind me that progress isn't measured by how fast you get there, but that you get where you're meant to go. You were sent here to accomplish great things and in nine years you've already transformed my life and the lives of all who are blessed to know you. I have no doubt I would never become who I'm meant to become without you. I love you. Happy birthday.
