These Things I Love....

Today I was thinking about the year 2009. These are the things that stand out in my memories. These are the things that I love and want to always remember:





*listening to Heidi practicing the hymns on the piano.

*watching Erica learn to walk.

*watching Elise start to crawl.

*listening to Ethan read from the Book of Mormon.

*watching as Eric served so many, without a single word of complaint.

*watching the numbers drop on my scale by 25 pounds :)

*hearing Erica say "I love you!"

*watching Heidi as she lovingly nurtures her younger siblings.

*observing all the books my book club has read this year.

*listening to Elise's laughter as she played in the sand on the beach at Ocean Shores.

*watching Ethan's excitement over his new kite, and new-found kite-flying skills.

*cuddling with Eric, and having the chance to reconnect with him during our now-regular date nights.

*serving at the temple every month for our Ward Temple Nights.

*spending time with our families, who are never close enough.

*sharing intimate moments with my friends, and realizing that they are more of a blessing in my life than I could ever be to them.

*watching all four of my children as they have blossomed and grown so much! I am so proud of each of them!





I just know that 2010 is going to be just as amazing!!
