Hello, my friend, hello

Here I am! 
Can I just take a moment to list the things that are making me happy right now?  Please?  I feel I need to list these happy things so that I can remember what they are, cuz somehow the unhappy things seem to have more weight in my head..why is that?

1. My littlest brother and his wife are going to have a baby!  We haven't had a little one around for 4 years..I cannot wait.  I think they should name it Shiest or Gneiss since my brother is a geologist.  What do you think?

2. I get to go visit my sister in Virginia!  For my birthday my hubby surprised me with a family trip to her house for a week..and my sister agreed to put us up as her end of the bday gift. I can't wait to see her!
My family..except for Nate's family..we missed you Nater!

3.  On that subject..I love my birthday!  So many wonderful friends took time to express their love, and I soo needed it.  Thank you to those fantastic friends that threw me a party or sent notes.  Love ya!

4.  I have money burning a hole in my pocket that is all mine!  I will still have that money next year, but I just love knowing that it is all mine, if I find something worthy of spending it on :)  Yes, I am that cheap..and thank you Mom and Dad for allowing me to burn that hole..another reason I love my birthday :)

5.  I am thankful for my kiddos that make me Lego love you notes.  I just adore them!

Me a long time ago, with an awesome missionary companion
6.  I am so happy to have a friend serving an LDS mission right now.  She listens to my advice like I know something..little does she know...but I love her for letting me pretend!

7. I am happy to have a husband that works so hard..and puts up with me.  I can be a real peach sometimes.




8. My brothers, sister, grandparents, and parents that help me..thankful they are healthy and happy and so glad they allow me into their lives.

Life is good, you just have to look for it sometimes. That is my "thankfulmony":..the end

I like thankamonies. We love you, too, Stacy. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Guess what? The word verification below says "hypers". Hmmm. I wonder if it knows whose blog it's going to....btw, it's been a long time since we've had hair like in your mission pic. Maybe we should cut bangs and get perms?

oh my, was that missionary picture taken in the London Baseline chapel parking lot? 5 points for me if it was.
It's good to list your happies. I was glad to read them. :)

Another name idea for the geologist's baby: Shale.
