Gratitude Catch up

November 15
This may sound weird, but I am thankful we were in an accident. Yes, I definitely miss the Prius, and it would sure be nice to have it, but with it being totaled, we were able to pay off our car loan, buy a great van (or so I have heard it's great - can't wait to see it this week), AND I just found out today that Quianna and I are getting a total of $600 for "settlement" money so we don't go after Brian for our "injuries" in the future. This helps us put money away for our family vacations we had planned this year.  After the accident happened, Quianna had said, "These things happen for a reason." I totally shrugged that off and kept looking at our sad little car in the middle of the road. Now I see Heavenly Father had a plan, and we are doing just fine. (just can't wait to pay off our debt so we can save up for another Stella)

I am thankful for friends for planning a baby shower for me. They are doing such a fun job with it using my theme of a nursery and making special scratch to reveal the gender invitations. They are so cool!

I am grateful for all the knowledge I have learned this weekend about labor and childbirth and everything! I am also grateful for my husband sitting through 10 hours this weekend and actually being interested and participating well. We had a "mock" labor with a piece of ice and it gave me hope that we are going to be able to do this. It might be the toughest thing I do in life, but it will be over eventually and we will have a baby in our arms.

I am thankful for my Savior. I have been bearing my testimony every week to the kids in primary because we are learning "I know that my redeemer lives". I know that he does lives and loves each of us. He is there to help us everyday. I am thankful for the atonement and the opportunity to return back to Him and my Heavenly Father
