grateful for blessings

We've been a little busy lately.  Between Brian's work and ecclesiastical responsibilities, he's been gone more evenings than he's been home the past few weeks.  Add in the stress of buying a home and all the documents, all the inspections, all the work that goes into just moving, and we're a little tired.  

We are truly blessed, though.  Not only are we blessed to find a house that we love and will make our home, but we have replacement tenants (since we are breaking our lease) so that stress is removed.  Things have come together, and I know it's because the way has been opened for us.  

The week that we were contemplating buying this house, I went to the Snowflake temple.  I was a ball of emotions and stress and anxiety.  But, as I prayerfully studied the decisions in front of our family in my mind, I felt this overwhelming sensation of peace and calm.  

I'm sick today with a bad cold.  Brian spoke in church (the entire bishopric spoke!) and I'm so sorry that I missed it.  Daniel is under the weather, too.  So, the kids and I stayed home today.  I always feel off when I can't make it to church.  But, I decided to take this time to catch up on my blog and remember all the ways that the Lord has blessed me.  At the end of the day, what matters most is my precious family.  We love each other.  We are happy.  We have the gospel in our home.  What is more important than that?
