Oopsy Poopsy!

I missed a day whoops. I knew I had, but I had a research paper to attend to. So today I will share two things which I am grateful for.

Day #4: Good friends & neighbors
Sunday night Michael had work, so I was home by my lonesome. Some friends and I got together for dinner. It was nice to not have to cook and to talk and be around people. After I went to a little gathering of the temple group Michael and I are apart of. We go to the temple each week with four other couples, but that is all we ever do with them. It was the perfect evening getting to know them, their stories and laugh with them. We all were rolling with laughter and continued talking and talking. When we all decided we should probably get going a few of the people came and gave me a great big hug and said good bye. It was a big feeling of love and acceptance. I feel like Michael and I are in the right place at the right time. Although it's taken us a while to get to know people in the ward, I finally feel like we have made some eternal friendships. I'm so grateful for this, and I'm so grateful that the Lord is looking out for me. Today we even found out that our friends and Kevin and Bailey are moving in just a few doors down from us. Let the party continue on!  


Day #5: Babies 
Today I was thrilled to get a text from my friend Kayla. It said "Come over. We gotta show you something!" I knew exactly what that meant. I ran to the back and grabbed Michael and we hurried next door. Ding Ding Ding.... I was right. One of the twins was walking. Today Layton started to walk. I  know this may seem weird that I'm so excited about it and that I'm blogging about it, but these twins are the cutest little things. Before Kayla and Thomas know it those boys will be running full speed ahead. I'm excited to continue to watch them grow and develop. 
I feel blessed to have the privilege to be around and work with other people's kids, whether it's in the nursery, a friend, or a neighbors child. I simply love kids and I'm grateful for the light they bring into the world. Shauna asked me the other day if I ever come home and am relieved that I don't have kids yet. I most definitely never am. It just makes me want kids even more and makes me excited to one day add a few numbers to our family.  I feel blessed to spend time with children and have learned that it's the simplest things that really do make me happy.
