This Blessed Sip of Life: Feeling Grateful

Feeling Grateful

8 Years Ago, on a day that brought a huge snowstorm to Denver, Blake and I were sealed in the Denver Temple for time and all eternity. I feel so grateful to have found Blake. I can't believe it has been that long and still think about how the weather made it almost impossible to get there on time.

Also feeling grateful today for our little family that was created as a result of this sealing. We had a fun night dancing to Taylor Swift's new CD, Fearless. We love it. Abby hung the poster that came with the CD in her room.

Also feeling grateful for my awesome work out at the gym and then finding straw pumpkins for 75% off at Target. It was a great day.
