another one for the sake of writing



my english class is really starting to bug me...like i have time to write everyday...

anyways i really have no idea what to write about. how about the fact that after living out of a suitcase for about 5 months we are finally moving back into reality! it will be such a shock to have an abundance of things.

for the past few months i have felt like we done pretty well. we packed a lot of things and we have survived on what we had. it's going to be quite a shock to the system to have more than one card game available, or actual dvds to watch. I can't even wait to see all of my books i have missed for so long..my wardrobe is going to triple, instead of only having enough clothing for one week i will have enough for a month. i will be able to cook anything my heart desires...i will have so many options for shoes. i even will have the luxury of my wonderful blankets...

i get so excited thinking about all of these things..and then i am extremely humbled thinking about the fact that in the past 6 months even though i did have "all" my things i still had more than most people. i still had a roof over my head, and food to eat, and more clothing than i needed. i have a husband that brings so much joy into my life and family and friends that love me.

i look at what just happened in haiti and the fact that in that country a majority of the people are poor and now...everything has been taken from them.

i am so incredibly blessed to have the things i have, to be getting a college education, to have the gospel and to be married in the temple.

my life is overflowing with blessings and i need to do a better job of using those blessings to bless others lives. i may not be blessed with millions of dollars, but i do have a testimony and that i can share and give to other people...

anyways sorry i just kind of am writing to write...and this is what came out...kind of random...but a needed expression of gratitude.
