I have not been a very good grains blogger lately :( Trying to do better - because it really does make my week go better and I have so very much in my life to be grateful for!!!
This week I'm grateful......
that I got to go to girls camp!!! What amazing and darling YW we have in our ward - especially the beehives - they're my favorite - but of course since I am a beehive advisor, I could be a tad biased ;) It was just beehive camp since the older kids in the stake are going on Trek - so just a small group of 17, 12-13 year olds camping for 4 days :) It was so fun, and they are such cute, good girls! LOVED IT!!!
for my bed, flush toilets, showers, and electricity ;) Love camping, love sleeping under the stars, and hearing the crickets and rushing water of the river - but I sure do love my creature comforts :) Taking a shower after camping for 4 days sure did feel heavenly!!!
my family who looked after each other and watched out for Brady while I was gone. It was nice to know he was taken care of, even if Daddy did forget to do a number of things - like take him to summer school - etc..... ;)
that our cute neighbor girl who was hurt in a 4 wheeling accident is doing better and will hopefully be out of ICU and home this week. We came home last weekend to several police cars and eventually ambulances, firetrucks, and a life-flight helicopter in our front yard, and at first thought maybe Brady had drowned in our neighbors pool (which many other people in the neighborhood thought, as well, judging by the number of phone calls we had ;) And, while I am sooo grateful it was not Brady, our prayers have been with Savannah all week that she may recover and gain the most mobility and healing of her hand as possible. If you have a moment, could you pray for her too please? She is just barely 14 and such an athletic and vibrant gymnast and cheerleader, so this is very difficult for her.
for beautiful, gorgeous weather - no rain, warm temps, and just overall great sunny, summer days - I LOVE them!!!!
for all the birthday wishes from my friends on FB last week - they made my day!!! Birthdays become less and less special it seems, the older you get! My hubby kidnapped me away for an overnighter and it was the BEST :) Dinner, Pirates, and sweet hotel, and shopping - he couldn't have picked a better birthday present :)
and last, but not least, all the sweet testimonies of the beehives at testimony meeting on bishops night, or in our case - bishopric night LOL The girls were so sweet and tender and I loved hearing them share their thoughts and watch them work up the courage to do so and what it meant to them after. About half the girls were 1st years, so this was really their first experience with a camp testimony meeting, and it really was special! Oh how I love those girls!!!
What are YOU grateful for today?
