~Having kiddos old enough to help with dinner. I helped Toby start baked Italian chicken, Joey made mashed potatoes and Liss cooked broccoli. Alex cleaned the kitchen after dinner. I couldn't stay for it because I had a Stake meeting tonight. Stupid time for a meeting 6-7.
~Lipton's cup of soup and an apple for dinner for me tonight. Simple but good.
~Shon is sleeping in an apartment and not a camp ground tonight.
~Joey had been having a ton of fun with spirit week.
~I like my kids.

~Finally some news on the roof so that we can move forward.
~The vinyl word Create on my laptop. It makes me happy.
~I am reading an amazing book right now...I don't want it too end.
~Watching the kids get ready for the Homecoming parade.
~I stayed at Mutual tonight instead of just dropping the kids off and watched. They played a round robin of games. Everything from charades to Theatre games to catch phrase. I liked seeing the kids interact.

I've decided that I don't like numbering these posts, it makes me feel limited. :-) Time to try something new.
~Talked to Shon tonight, he has a line on an apartment in Hamilton, who knows, maybe we will end up there.
~Sent off our ATC cards, it will be fun to see what comes back.
~One Scout training down, 3 more to go.
~The color grey. It makes me happy because it is such a great foil for every other color out there.

1) Even though I am sad that Shon left today for Missoula, I am grateful that his bosses recognize his worth and work ethic. I am also glad that we remember where this comes from. Shon called a little while ago and he is safe and sound at the KOA. He has an appointment to look at an apartment tomorrow.
2) I love this quote from the visiting teaching message
Latter-day Saint women who recognize that their strength comes from the Lord’s Atonement do not give up during difficult and discouraging times. As covenant keepers, we excel at upholding, nurturing, and protecting children and youth so that one day we might say of this rising generation, “Never had I seen so great courage, nay, not amongst all” (Alma 56:45).
3) Not the kids favorite FHE, however I love that we were able to give the kitchen a deep clean and pack up the family room tonight. Chipping away at that list.

I am grateful for this talk, because going over it again has helped me get a grip on the whole post below.

1) Glad that there is a plan out there for our life...because I don't feel in control of anything right now. I am struggling with waiting on someone else so that we can get on with our life in the Missoula area. I hate feeling contentious and that sadly is how I feel until I remember that I can just turn it all over....now I need to work on the love thy neighbor thing, because right now I am not feeling the love for a certain person.
2) I am grateful that I can create pretty things. I am glad that Heavenly Father gave us talents. It brings me pleasure to take raw material and turn it into tangible joy.
3) Having a craft room. Our whole life is upside down, every room torn apart as we take down everything that makes it a home. (ya ya, I know that love is what makes it a home...I mean what makes it a PRETTY home). There is packing tape and touch up paint, and garbage...oh my heck where was all of the garbage in my kid's rooms hiding?) boxes, taking things out to storage...but surprisingly our realtor thought that I should leave my craft room upstairs intact. There is very little on the walls, after repainting I didn't want holes in them. He thinks that it looks bigger as a craft room than it did as a bedroom. We turned the laundry room back into a utility room, took all of my craft shelves down and I need to patch and paint, so I am really glad to still have a sanctuary. I keep it very neat, so it is easy to get ready to show it...and it just might keep me semi-sane during all of this.

1) Loved hanging out with Lissie making ATC cards for our swap. The boys and their friends hung out in there too, talking to us. It is not a big room, but every time I started to feel claustrophobic, I just reminded myself how rare it was for a bunch of teen boys to want to hang out with me. I will treasure each moment I can.
2) I was worried about someone I care about and I am so grateful that the issue was resolved in a positive manner.
3) Finally got my craft blog updated, it has been so very long that I was starting to feel writers block.
