Worried!

I titled this post worried, now how could that fit into a gratitude journal. It doesn't really, but for some reason lately I have been worried. Worried that Kyle's job will change, as we expect, but that I won't be ready. Worried that things will not go smoothly with this pregnancy. Worried that Zachary will not behave appropriately in preschool. Worried that Eric will never be potty trained, because of my lack of commitment. Worried that I am not giving sufficient time to YW. So now how can I turn this into thanksgiving, here is my take. . .
1. I am grateful Kyle is happy at his job and that it is stable.
2. I am grateful that I get pregnant so easily.
3. I am grateful Zachary has the energy he has, and that he is growing.
4. I am grateful Eric is becoming more independent.
5. I am grateful for my Savior, he loves me even when I do not quite make the cut.

Wonderful Weekend!

Wow, this weekend was full of things that made me grateful so here comes the list.
1. Being in the temple with all my siblings and their spouses for Todd's wedding.
2. Having parents who willingly open their home to us.
3. The ability Zachary has to make friends with everyone, he made friends at the reception and camping.
4. Having Zachary cuddle with me last night before we went to bed; it has not happened in a long while.
5. Church being very near our campground, and feeling welcomed.
6. The sound of running water, our campsite was right next to the Cub River.
7. Eric and Zachary's desire to explore, play 'Pooh Sticks', hike, and watch the fire.
8. Warm sleeping bags and a warm husband.
9. All my children coming willingly to the car when I asked tonight, even though they did not want to.
10. Wendy not being hurt when she fell down the stairs.
11. Dancing with Kyle.
12. Finding out Shanalee will have a little one just 3 weeks before me.
13. Hiking up, up, up and seeing the whole valley and the beauty God made.
