More Reflections....

We just got a letter inviting Hannah to an awards ceremony next week. Apparently her dance won at the district level. The next level will be state. Wish us luck!

3-Year-Old Joy

My 3-year-old just told me that I can't tell him no because he is a child of God. Good to know he is paying attention in Primary

Reflections!

Okay, so if you can't brag on your blog where can you do it? We attended a special event last Thursday night at our local high school. Hannah entered a dance for the reflections contest this year. As a preface to the story, let's just say I always wanted to win this prestigious honor as a child but NEVER did. Come to find out, after talking to my mother, I actually won one year but because she was the PTA president, she didn't let me win!
Anyway, Hannah entered a dance and won at the school level. Her dance went onto win at the council level. It was a great night. They displayed her dance on a very large screen for the whole audience (about 100 people) and she got to go up on that HUGE stage and get a medal. What a night for a 6-year-old girl! I will post a picture as soon as Jordan helps me download them. I'm totally technologically incompetent.

Teachers

Today I am grateful for teachers of all kinds. My son is having the best sixth grade experience. All my kids really are enjoying school this year (of course, it's always hard to go back after the Christmas break). I am thankful also for art teachers, music teachers, dance teachers, Primary teachers; all the teachers that work hard for my kids. To any of you who are teachers of any kind, thank you!

Today

Today I am grateful that I took a phone call as I was leaving my house this morning. There was a fatal accident this morning on the road I typically take to my parents' house. Do you ever wonder what things are coincidences and what things happen for a reason? Anyway, I couldn't help but think that it could have been me. If I had left a few minutes earlier, I could have sonehow been involed. I am so glad I stopped to talk to a friend.

Welcome January

Hellow All. Yes, I am officially the worst blogger on the planet. Let me explain. First of all, as many of you know, I spend several hours a day working at home on a computer. Let's just say, more computer time is not a break for me. Second, I switched e-mails and could not remember the password for my account. There it is; I'm out of excuses. I've decided to try to post each day some sort of positive thought or recognition of a blessing in my life. Hopefully this will help me out of my mid-life crisis/January funk. Does anyone else hate the aftermath of Christmas? Anyway, I'm looking forward to expressing my gratitude each day for the blessings I have. I wish you all a Happy New Year.
