Our Kitty Family

Look how adorable our kitties are, they think that Cody's stuffed animal is their baby!

Little does Shadow know that if that kitten were real, he would be smothering the poor cat while laying on top of it. This picture was still priceless, so I had to share with everyone. Cupcake is allowing daddy to take care of the baby, and what does he do but sleep as usual....

A Heart of Gratitude

The theme at church on Saturday night was about the hindrances to a grateful heart and how to develop a heart of gratitude. Really it was eye opening, one for me was "Constant Comparisons". I tend to (as my husband reminded me) compare my husband to all of my friends' husbands and really that does not make me wise or for him to feel loved. I don't intentionally do it, but I now know that my comments in front of Bryan are negative at times and that corrupts my good character. I need to acknowledge that everything that we have is God's, not ours, and therefore express my thanks often to him.

I am thankful for many things....

• 
  Having a husband who loves me for me
• Having a son who shows me what living is all about
• Having parents who are still married going on 31 years, which gives me hope that being married to only one man forever IS possible
• Having a house to come home to at night after a long day at work
• Having a reliable car to drive me anywhere my little heart desires (that includes getting ice cream late at night)
• Having friends who I know I can call at any time to discuss anything
• Having a cat who adores me and waits for me to pull in the driveway
• Having a job with reliability and flexibility for as long as I choose
• Having the character to warm people's hearts and make lifelong friendships
• Having my dreams come true day after day, by just being open to change
