I am so grateful to Toa and Sela who took us into their home for the last two weeks while we were waiting to move into our apartment. I don't know what we would have done otherwise, but I cannot put into words how thankful I am for their kindness!

I am so thankful that we were able to move back into East Elementary boundaries. That school is amazing and my kids are getting a great education!

I am beyond grateful to both of my children's teachers and how willing they are to help my kids succeed. It is nice to have someone to help further your child's education. Honestly I can only do so much...so this is my big THANK YOU to them!

I also am very happy and grateful that Aarron has a job and was able to have that job while we were up north and to transfer back here. Not everyone is so lucky to have a job at this point in time and as much as I sometimes am frustrated by the time it takes from us at the end of the day I know we are so blessed that he has a job!

I am grateful for our vehicle...we have had to spend some money fixing it and we still have things to fix on it. That being said we are so happy that we have a vehicle that fits us all and gets us to where we need to go!
I know this is a lot in one post but since we don't have internet right now that is how it has to be...I am at least writing something down everyday it just takes me a little time to get it on here. So for now they are fast short posts but in time I am sure that they will be more regular and maybe unfortunately for people reading them longer :)

I am very grateful for my little baby girl who I had stopped hoping for. She is such a blessing in our lives. I could not have hoped for a better daughter. She is so happy all the time and we have lots of fun together! Plus her brothers love her and they all play great together. Really I couldn't ask for more. I could add to this post all day probably but I will stop here :)

I am grateful for my cell phone and the chance I have to get in contact with the people I love on such a regular basis, but I am also glad that I am not glued to it and know how to enjoy the world around me still!

I am so thankful that I have Aiden who can help Ian with some of his homework. I tis a lot bigger of a homework load with two of them so it helps a whole bunch to have someone who is so willing to help and so ahead of his own grade level that he is able to do it!

I am so grateful for my doTerra essential oils they have made a huge difference in our lives and our home. I thank Andi for that first introduction and for Carisa to have again given me the chance to use the oils and experience just how great they are!

The joys
December 3rd 2012
I am very grateful for all the clothes that myself and the rest of my cute kids and hubby have. That being said I did not love trying to pack all of them up for 2 weeks before our apartment is available :) No honestly we are so lucky to not have to wear the same clothes for weeks at a time. I am glad that we have clean clothes at our fingertips and washers to clean them in. I think sometimes we forget to stop and think about what life would be like if we didn't have washers or so many clothes available to buy at the store.

I am grateful for my parents who were so willing to jump into their truck unplanned on Sunday morning to help transport my family down to Cedar safely. My plan to all fit in the Uhaul failed miserably and it would not only have been a very uncomfortable ride it would have been extremely unsafe. I am so thankful to them for helping to protect the people I love so much!
My posts will probably not happen everyday for a couple of weeks but I will make sure I get a post for every day! :)

My Challenge
So two years ago I took up the facebook giving thanks every day of November. It was a great experience and did create a better atmosphere and attitude around me and for my children. I enjoyed it a lot but have since not done it because I feel like 30 days was to easy. It took me until this November to decide my new challenge. I loved the change within my life over that 30 days so much that I decided this year to skip November and come up with something I am thankful for every other day of the next year until November rolls around. I know this is going to be a huge challenge but I hope for it to create a long term change in my perspective. I am a pretty positive person anyways but I want this to be a focus for my children in their home...so here it goes :o)
Today December 1st, 2012
I am very grateful for an able body. I see people who cannot walk or lift things and I think sometimes we take that for granted. I am so glad that I can lift up my children and run after them as well. I always have hoped that I would be positive if I ended up losing those abilities, but I am not sure I could. I love those people who are so positive and had a great grandfather who was and that has always stuck with me. I am grateful for those people who make the best out of tough situations. I know that I am very blessed to have the ability to do the things I want to and I am so thankful for it!!!
Seeing as well I was writing this post it turned to December 2nd, 2012 I will just combine my posts.
I am thankful for the simple joys my children share with me and how it helps me to find those simple joys in my own life on a day to day basis. I hope with all my heart that I don't lose that with my children, but life seems to have a way of taking the simplicity out of things. Maybe when my children get a little older I will have mastered finding the simple joys so that I can help them remember to do that. There are so many things to find joy in and it makes life just that much sweeter when you share in those precious moments with the ones you love the most!
