1) Having a husband who doesn't consider watching his own kids "babysitting" and is more than happy to hang out with them so I can have a little alone time.
2) I went for a long drive today by myself, down streets like Rimrock, Poly and 32nd. It was a gorgeous day, blue, blue MT sky. I didn't turn on the radio, I just drove, window down, and looked at all of the beautiful, stunning leaves around me, molten gold of the mowed hayfields stacked with huge round bales waiting to stuff hungry cows a weathered red barn hunkered down and dug halfway into the hillside and the Rimrocks stark and textured, old and weathered, but dotted with new flowers, growing in such hard conditions. I couldn't believe how lucky we are to have a Heavenly family that loves us enough to give us a beautiful world...one that feeds the artistic side of our spirits instead of just a useful one to feed our bodies.
3) I love having a fridge with ice and water in the door. I drink so much more water now.

1) The inventor of laptops. I heart him (or her). Thanks to them I can blog this post from the comfort of my own bed at 12:20 am while resting my corn maize exhausted feet.
2) The teachers, principals and counselors at my children's schools. They are more than supportive of our family and are going out of their way to help make sure that my kids are taken care of during the craziness of Ali's surgery and recovery.
3) The clever minds and nimble fingers that write the books that I can not live without reading. After reading 3 Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools, it makes me doubly glad I not only can read, but have a wealth of materials at hand.

1) Salad for dinner tonight. Yum.
2) Remembering just how lucky our family is.
3) Getting the new boy scout training form done for Montana. It was scary, in some ways. I have been out of the work force for a long time and I needed to design something that every district in MT will use. It had to make sense, be efficient and look professional. Done, done and done. Whew!

1) All of our fun free stamp stuff came in today. The glass glitter makes me want to go make something right now!
2) We were able to go fill prescriptions today. So grateful for insurance. It made so that it was only very painfully expensive instead of incredibly expensive. Loll.
3) Two good friends are getting married. They both had rough marriages the first time and it is so awesome that they found eachother. Both of them are two of the nicest people I know and it will be great that they finally will have some well deserved happiness.

1) Celebrating Daniel's birthday over at the Boelens. It is so fun to have family nearby again to do things with.
2) That Joan and Wayne had a chance to get away and have a wonderful vacation. They deserve it.
3) Having the chance to speak in sacrament. I know it sounds crazy, but I would rather give a talk in church than to socialize at a ward party. Speaking in church ~ not scary....trying to make small talk ~ terrifying!
