Good

Life is good .  Sometimes I read others blogs and feel a ting of jealousy. I wonder how their lives are always so  busy and beautiful. I then think well my life is good too I just need to pick out the small things and actually blog about them, think about them be grateful for them.

 Halloween was a blast. I love our neighborhood, I love our ward.  We went to Lou's parents for a Halloween party.  The kids had fun doing a little bit of trick or treating up there (including Raja Bell's house) We returned home just in time to see a HUGE group of kids at our house.  It was nice to see kids actually trick or treating, houses having traditions, music in the air.  We didn't experience that at the condo. It honestly felt like my neighborhood when I was a child. I just love this neighborhood.

Tonight I had to play the piano at the young women's Young Women's in Excellence.  I went to one in our first ward when we were first married. It was different going now closer being the parents than the girls. Lou and I teach the 12-13 Sunday School class. It was nice to see our girls there. I enjoyed the talks about goals. It motivated me to set weekly goals.  Something I plan on following up on my blog when appropriate.  I would like to go back to being 17 or so knowing what I know now but at the same time I love where I am now.

My Uncle Bob is not doing well.  He can only be awake for mins at at time. Emails from my Aunt Claire allude to that his time is near. I feel bad that my Uncle has to go through this.  I am sad for our family.  I am grateful for the peace the Lord brings to me. I have studied recently a lot about Faith. I feel that Faith is a gift from God. I am glad to have it during this time.

Today Josh came in from playing. I was in a different room and said "who's home?" Josh said "hey its me Joshy ( ran to where I was with a huge grin) your best buddy!"  I sure love that boy.

Kira got into the Gifted and Talented program at school. I am pretty proud.  I loved being in GT in school.
Kira gets smarter every day.

Thanks for sharing the good and the not-so-good. I feel just like you when it comes to the tiny bit of jealousy. But even when I read your blog... So it's all good, right? Cause there really is not a point in complaining about the same thing over and over again I prefer to just not think about that! In case you are wondering, my life is FAR from being perfect. I "lost it" for a second or two almost every day... But that is ok, right?
