Spoiled!

David and I are really blessed. I am trying to be more grateful and notice all of the many blessings we do have. Today I will share a few with you...
  • We live only 2.5 hours from our parents, grandparents, and other family members! Before August, we lived 12 hours away. Last weekend we went home for a visit. We saw The Avengers, my Dad took me to get my hair cut and for a manicure, we ate lots of good food, and were able to spend time with lots of family for Mother's Day weekend. 
    I took this at church last week. David and Dad are both wearing gray suits, white shirts, black shoes, and light blue & gray ties.
  • Our apartment is spacious (compared to our last one ;) ). We have everything we need and a lot of things we don't need. We are even attempting a garden in the tiny space we kinda have (maybe I'll share that story another time). 
Ace, our pepper plant.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our potted flowers

 
Our garden isn't much... We'll see what happens!
  • We now have two cars! Since we moved to Moscow, we've been a one car family. It forced us to be strategic, but I enjoyed spending car time with David dropping him off, picking him up, or usually him dropping me off, or picking me up.
 
Our new-to-us 98 Honda Accord Ex. The previous owner took good care of the car and we hope it will serve it's purpose!
  • David has finished his first year of law school! That's 1/3 of the way done people! He is doing very well and enjoys it. He got an A in his two-semester Legal Research and Writing class, which is 5 credits and his teacher said his final brief was the best in the class. She's entering it into some kind of competition... I am really proud of his hard work. Getting an A in law school is pretty tricky stuff! He currently has an internship with the superior court judge over Asotin, Garfield, and Columbia Counties in Washington and is working hard.

  • David's parents were very generous and bought us an air conditioner! I can't wait to use it... we just need to figure out how to install it.

  •  I have a job. Although it isn't the job I want, I know of many others in this area that don't have any income. I am also fortunate to have a summer job lined up that will give us extra income (I still get paid for my current job through the summer). 
One of the things I don't need, but have... David got me a Kindle for our anniversary. I am enjoying the free ebooks from the library.
  • We have the gospel of Jesus Christ! I am so grateful for the temple and prayer. mormon.org
 These are just a few things... We really are fortunate. What are you feeling blessed for today?
