Hi Everyone.... If you would still like to be part of my blogging family I need your blog addresses and to be invited again if you'd be willing to invite me.... I've accidentally deleted my address bar and can't get it back.
Thanks,

Gratitude....
This was on a sacrament program at a farewell we went to on Sunday...
" When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life... We are meant to learn and grow through opposition, through meeting our challenges, and through teaching others to do the same... the Lord will not only consecrate our affliction for our gain, but He will use them to bless the lives of countless others."
-Dallin H. Oaks
I am thankful for what I have been given in this life. Many people don't know even half of my story. That's okay. I don't know half of theirs. But I do know this there have been several hardships and several learning experiences. I have watched others go through things and I have learned from them. I have gone through things and hope I have been able to help someone else. I am grateful for the gift of my Father in Heaven sending help to me through living angels here on this earth who took the time to listen to a prompting to come to my rescue in some way.
I also read this....
"My brothers and sisters, we are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comforts, our kindness- be they family members, friends, acquaintances , or strangers. We are the Lord's hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us."
-Thomas S. Monson
I feel really grateful and blessed this Thanksgiving for my family, my friends, the roof over my head, my husband having a job, the knowledge of God and the atonement of His Son, the opportunity to learn about new things, random acts of kindness towards me.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Have you seen UP???
We have... We rented it on Saturday night. I love this movie!!!! I cried like a little kid. One of my favorite parts is the scene about 10 minutes into the movie where they do the montage after they get married..... I love the jar they keep for their dream trip! We've done that and like them, we have had several times in our married life where we had to use the "Jar" for life happens moments. I wouldn't trade them though. They have helped us grow.

Weirdo Day....
So today has been a really weird day.....
First, I went to Target for Santa Clause and was told whilst purchasing the items that were marked clearly on sale that they weren't by the cashier and that they don't honor their online prices in the store either... I asked for a manager!!!! He told me he was too busy to go look at the price and to just give them to me for what I told her. After the rudeness I wish I would've said the item was a $1.00!
Second, I went to Costco to pick up an order that hubs went to pick up last night and the gal said wasn't there.... WHICH IT WAS!!!!! So a double trip there was lovely!!!! I won't go into detail about the lady that we've been dealing with in the photo center for the last year, but I will tell you this I have had really weird things happen with her and managers in the store are now involved.
Third, I went to Walmart also for Santa and was in the garden center because they usually put the large ticket items for kiddies in that spot during the holidays. I found what I needed and went to the check -out there and the girl who rang me up was super nice but...............................It was her second day cashiering by herself!!! After my purchases were wrung up I gave her some cash and she went to give me my change and was about to hand me back $173.00 of the money I had just handed her when I was only supposed to get back $12.41!!!! I told her that the amount she was handing back to me was wrong and she was getting mad that I would not take it. I explained why I wouldn't take it back and that it would probably cost her the job she just got if her till was that much money short. Then she tried to give it to me again because she didn't want to void the purchases!!!!! Holy Smokes! I said I would be more than happy to wait for her to get someone to come help her fix the problem. After 30 minutes it was finally solved and I went on my merry way.
I will tell you this ....... I have never ever had a cashier try to give me money like that. Especially over and over again. I have always tried to be very honest so I was really kind of shocked that the lady would rather give me the money than hit the VOID button. GO FIGURE ON THAT ONE!
Lastly, My Dang computer has had e-mail issues for a few weeks. I don't know what happened or even if we've fixed the problem, but spending 2 hours trying to send an e-mail is flippin' ridiculous.

a Wish!!
Have you ever wished for something to happen to you???? I have. I have also worked really hard towards making a wish become a reality and done my part.... So now I'm waiting patiently for the Lord to help me with the part that I cannot do myself.
I'm wishing and waiting... and working and wishing!
I'm wishing and waiting... and working and wishing!
