Grateful Sunday

This was our house this morning (I am writing this a little late)! A few snow flurries made for an exciting Monday morning wake-up. Can't wait for more snow and maybe some snow days!

Today, I am grateful for:

• the opportunity I had to give a talk in church today. I don't mind preparing talks, it's kind of like writing a paper, but I really am not a speaker. I'm not comfortable, I think I'm really boring, and I have a hard time being casual and sounding normal! But, alas, it is always a good experience to write and give a talk. I made it through!
• my supportive friends and ward. We seriously hit the jackpot in this ward, I am thankful every week for the people with whom we get to go to church.
• my sweet little family. We had a nice weekend: working in the yard, wearing our pjs and eating soup. I love this time of year!
• my wonderful friends, who helped me celebrate my birthday for three days this week. Two breakfasts and one lunch with my friends, who are caring, thoughtful and awesome.
