Today:
*I wore my new royal blue shirt for the first time, and I love it.

*God answered my prayers about finding KateLynn's Sunday shoes.  Am I the only one that prays we can find Sunday shoes, because I do it a lot?  After a  fiasco with KateLynn not being dressed on time,  she was sitting on the couch when she was supposed to be getting dressed and I didn't know until it was time to leave, she couldn't find her shoes.  I looked in the two places we keep her shoes, her closet, and the shoe box by the front door.  They weren't in either place.  I ran back to her room to search there again, but to no avail.  I whispered a quick prayer in my mind as I was searching, but I still couldn't find them.  I decided to kneel and pray.  No sooner had I stood up when Tabetha hollered that she had found the shoes. Yes, prayer answered!

*I was shocked when I went out to the car to go to church, and it was warm outside, like 40 degrees warm.  That's an 80 degree difference from what it was a week ago.  It felt wonderful.

*I had two heads fighting over my lap all through sacrament meeting.  (Hannah's, and KateLynn's)  It's nice to know that you are loved sooooo much that 2 people will fight over who get's to put their head on your lap.

*I bore my testimony about prayer, partly because of said earlier experience.

*I visited Hannah's class for a while, because she was having a bit of a hard time letting me go.  Then she later  visited me in Relief Society.

*I thoroughly enjoyed Relief Society.  1st, because I wasn't teaching, and 2nd because the lesson was on President Uchtdorf's talk entitled "Forget Me Not".  You can read it here.  It's wonderful.  There are so many good things in that talk that I need to remember and to work on.

*I gave Shawn a neck rub when I got home from church, hoping it would make his headache better.

*We had the privilege of feeding the missionaries, and then hearing a message from them.

*We watched the church's Christmas devotional online.  All the way through, I kept thinking,  "I have heard this all before," and sure enough, I had heard it before.  We clicked on the wrong link and watched last years devotional again.  Oh well.  We can watch the new one for FHE soon.

*I read scriptures and had family prayer with my family.  Sunday is Shawn's day to pray, and I always enjoy hearing him pray.

*when I tucked KateLynn in bed she asked me to tell her stories about when I was little.  I did, and then I told her the story from the Bible of Jesus and the little children.

*I took pictures of myself for this post.  I took some pretty funny ones that made me laugh, but this is the only one you get to see.

*I listened to the wind hooowwwwllll outside the window, and I worried about what we had outside that could blow away.  Boy, am I glad I have a nice warm house.

*I got Mya some M and Ms, because she caught saw me eating some.  When I handed them to her she said, "Thanks mom, you best hero in world."   Oh, It's easy to be a hero when you're a mom.

*I'm typing from Mya's bed, and hoping she'll go to sleep soon so I can get to bed. I am however, really enjoying having her cuddled up next to me, and listening to her chatter on and on about different things.

*I'm still thinking about my favorite quote from today's Relief Society lesson:
 The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments. They are the ones who, thread by daily thread, weave a tapestry of gratitude and wonder throughout their lives. These are they who are truly happy."  --Pres. Uchtdorf, Forget Me Not, Ensign, November 2011.
