2. I am grateful for my dad. It was his birthday yesterday. He taught all eight children to work, to love the gospel and to feel the spirit. I am honored to be known as his daughter. I love his sense of humor, he loved to say of his eight children--all boys except for six girls. It made him feel better because lots of people don't do the math, or they do it later and realize that there are only two boys. He is extremely supportive of all his children and their life goals. He wants us to have goals, and is proud of us as we accomplish them. (The goals do need to move in a direction--he's not really proud of goals to eat chocolate every day or to learn how to roll your tongue.) My siblings and I are all heading in different directions, but they are the ones that the Lord wants us to follow and he's really supportive. I am grateful for my dad. Happy Birthday Grandpa!
3. I am grateful for the opportunity to fast again. Today was the first day that I was able to fast in over 3 years. It was really hard (I think I made it extra hard by donating blood yesterday--I wasn't able to make it all the way through church before breaking my fast). I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to fast. Today was amazing at church--I felt the special spirit that comes from fasting. I missed it during the 3 years, especially when there would be a special family fast. I know that being pregnant and nursing is commendable and I only really longed to fast a few times but I am so glad that I get to fast again. Even though it is extremely hard.
5. I am grateful for day light savings time. The boys slept in and we did too. It was great to get some extra sleep. (Peaceful Hero was off with his naps and was cranky at church) but we loved the lazy feel to the morning.
