This will be my last Thankful post this week. So today, I am thankful for:

1. Hymns at church. I LOVE them.
2. Having missionaries over for dinner and them loving that I was having leftovers (I have them over on Sundays but told them that I was only doing leftovers because we are leaving for the week and we still had to pack and I didn't plan on cooking anything. But if they wanted to come over, they could. They showed up and finished off my leftovers).
3. Heading to Ashdown tomorrow (although I really am not looking forward to or thankful for the 12 1/2+ hour drive).
4. That I get to see my family minus a brother and his family in a few days.
5. Getting to see my friends in Fort Worth next Saturday on our way home.

Today I am thankful for:

1. That I was able to pass the physical portion of the police recruiting. There were lots of prayers as well as hard workouts!
2. A husband that lets me drag him to see girly movies like "New Moon" although he was totally lost in what was going on and I had to keep explaining to him what was going on.
3. Cheddar's Baked Potato Soup...YUMMY!
4. My kids' excitement when they talk about going to Aunt Heidi's for Thanksgiving.
5. Reading scriptures each night as a family.

Today I am thankful for:

1. Texting...sometimes I cannot talk to Paul on the phone, but I can still chat with him. I can still text him "I LOVE YOU" when he is in the field. Or get a text from Nathan (while he's at school) telling me his head hurts a little and me getting to tell him to let me know if it gets worse.
2. Being able to run long distances.
3. That I have an eternal family.
4. A nice home.
5. A vehicle.
