GrEightful....

Oh this week has been a long one. It is crunch time now for John and he has had papers and assignments galore. Not to mention FINALS are coming up here soon. So the kids and I have had to have a few suppers by ourselves, but soon we will have more time with Dad!

This week I am grateful for:

1.) My husband who is studying and working so hard and has such a huge desire to do well and succeed! I LOVE HIM so much!! :o)

2.) My beautiful little boy who has such a great personality, infectious laugh and adorable imagination. Did you know that I (yes I his mother) am his Princess....oh and he is my cowboy (sometimes my Larry cowboy--depending on his mood). So we walk around all day calling eachother by our new names. It is so funny to hear him call me Princess! :o) Man he cracks me up!

3.) Our little Ms. Smiley! She just melts everyone's hearts with her adorable, infectious smiles. She is such a happy baby!

4.) Great friends and the chance to have supper and spend time with them. They are also very willing to try our international cooking attempts. We had an Asian meal and tried making Bulgolgi (Korean BBQ) for them. It was a huge success!

5.) A super flexible and understanding Bible Study Group!

6.) The Bible and Salvation.

7.) The free "Holidays In Hand" course at Jessica Sprague's website. I am super excited to start some of our own Christmas Traditions and to really try and focus on what the Christmas season means for us and our family. I think this course will really help me focus on what values and beliefs are so extremely important to us. I

8.) Great books that are really speaking to us and helping us to be better parents, better partners and better servants and that are God centered!
