Thankful Day 3-6

Day 3: Technology
It's hard to imagine life without technology. I feel like I sometimes survive the day with tv and movies (especially dvr stuff), my phone, and the internet. Then you add in the things that make life easier like my microwave, dishwasher, laundry machine, cars, and a million other little things. I am so thankful I was born at the time I was where I got to experience life without so much technology. I actually had to do reports where I used books to find out the information. I had to wait to get to school to talk to my friends and talk about anything. When I did hang out with my friends we weren't all looking at our cell phones, we actually talked and laughed with each other and involved in whatever was going on where we were. But with that being said...I do love me some facebook and pinterest and texting. I love recording my favorite shows and watching them when it's convenient for me. Oh yes, I love technology.

Day 4: My sweet husband
I have no doubt that I'm with the man that is best for me. I was actually reading some emails we had written when we were first friends and it was so comforting to read the words we had said about each other...we knew there was something special between us from the beginning. As on of my sisters likes to remind me...I am lucky to have him in my life. There are very few men that would deal with my crazziness like he does! I am so thankful that he wants to work as hard as he does to take care of us. He sacrifices a lot for the benefit of our family. He adores me and he adores our children. He is always eager to get home and be with us and I love how much he loves coming home each day! I am so thankful for his life's journeys and the kind of man he was and continues to be. He is honest and trustworthy, kind, helpful, and leads our family by the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is everything I had hoped for as a young girl and well worth the wait and patience I had to have to get him!

Day 5: Being a stay at home mom
My little girl is extremely active. And yesterday she was sick and just wanted to be held ALL DAY! And while I had a list a mile long of things I felt like I needed to do...I didn't accomplish a single one of them, because my little girl needed me to hold her. I rocked her to sleep 4 different times. It just reminded me that being able to be to the mom that my kids need is such a blessing and a gift. I live so much of my life for them right now. My eating, my sleep, my activities, my money, my interested are revolved around them. I still have "me" time and all that jazz...I totally think that is important. However, I feel very blessed to have had so much me time in my 20s that now, my life can be for them and I don't feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick. There isn't another career I can imagine being more rewarding then the one I'm doing right now. And too quickly this phase of my life with be over and I have no worries that I'll feel like I lived it to the max because of how I spend my time right now! 

Day 6: My body
I may not have the figure every girl dreams of, but I love my body! I love that my body can do everything it needs to do. And I am especially thankful to be in my third trimester with my third baby (in less than 4 years since I first started making babies) and my body is handling all the demands I'm making on it right now. Every limb works, I seem to get the sleep I need, I have enough energy to take care of my house, my kids, and my husband, and I am just amazed with how strong my body is!
