Grateful Sunday



Happy Easter! We had a beautiful Easter Sunday. It started out very rainy, but turned out to be perfect by the time we ended up hunting eggs after church! Today, I am grateful for:
  • my quick recovery this morning. I woke up suffering from severe dizziness and could hardly stand up without tipping over. I felt nauseated and have no idea what was going on. I think it might have something to do with my allergies, the abundance of yard work we did yesterday, and the fluid in my ears. Whatever it was, I felt terrible and wasn't sure I was going to be able to get dressed, let alone teach Sharing Time later in the afternoon. But a few silent prayers and another hour in bed and I was able to move on with the day. Weird. I'm also thankful that Neal didn't have meetings today. That would have made it all the more difficult!
  • time spent with Jeff, Patience and Baby Nelson yesterday. Nelson is 7 weeks old and growing up so fast. I am glad we got to have a little time with his family and snuck in a few snuggles.
  • an impromptu dinner with friends on Friday night. We couldn't have planned it better, it was fun to reconnect with such a great family.
  • baseball season!!
  • the temple. I'm so lucky that I am able to make it there so often these days. There is nothing like the peace that is found there.
  • my compassionate, understanding, and tender husband. I am so grateful to be married to such a wonderful man.
  • Natalie's trip to Dallas, which begins on Wednesday! We are going to have such fun.
One more Easter photo. An action shot from the egg hunt . . .

Lovely family photo Leslie. My first thought when I looked at that was "Who says you have to live in the NW to live in the green?!" Just beautiful!
