Happy Thanksgiving.

I have to say I am so grateful this year. I have just had a great fall. I couldn't be more happy with my family and where we are at in life. I love having four boys and a wonderful husband. How cheesy that sounds but its true. I just feel so fortunate. To have the ability to enjoy life. I am so amazed how the lord has blessed our lives. I guess it sounds like something must have gone wrong to bring this on but it hasn't. I feel like my days have been so watched over. Its nice to be in a stage where I feel like myself again and my kids seem to be happy today that is. Chris and I are really busy. We have come to the conclusion that life isn't slowing down and if anything just speeding up. Kind of life this kick boxing class I took on Tuesday that was insane. The girl started out in fast forward and ended the same way. Seriously no warm up or cool down. Just all go! I think I will stick to my spin, pump, and step classes. With life pulling us a million directions. I finally came to a point were I found I had to make a choice. Move forward knowing it wasn't going to be easy. Or start gliding! I have never been a glider. I honestly didn't know how to move forward though. Feeling overwhelmed and trapped in a sense. Doing all that I could to keep up just wasn't enough. I found myself talking to a really important man. He asked me how I was doing and I broke down. I said I want to keep going and doing but I don't know how to make it all work. He gave very inspired advise. I promise I didn't want to hear it cause deep down inside I already knew the answer like it seems is always the case. He said " Well you might have to get up earlier and read your scriptures if there is no more time in your day. You will find that it will all work out." Well I can promise that is the case. I have been doing this now for a good while. My days just seem to fall in line with what needs to happen. I have time to exercise, play with my kids, get my house work done, Work on YW stuff, make dinner, kids extra stuff and what ever else seems to fall into that day. I am not saying my house looks perfect all the time. I am say sometimes the answer is not to worry about that for now and what is needed at the time. There are times when my house is put together and times its out of control. All in all my kids are taken care of. I am just so pleased with gospel. To feel like I am not alone. That even though Chris is working what seems to be all the time. That most weekends we spend our date either at a work event or at a mutual activity. That we have been able to make it all work. By planning our weeks so we know what day in the week me might have a twenty minute break so we can sit down and watch "The Office" or I love the "Home Makeover" (always makes me cry, they have such neat stories!). We are busy. I love that even though we feel like sometimes its to much, all I have to do is ask for help and listen to those promptings. Then things just start working out. I am excited for Thanksgiving. Four days off! Yahoo. I love it. I hope everyone has a great holiday. Happy Thanksgiving.
