Blessings

As I have set up home base in my bedroom (my bed has become my desk, table, couch,and sometimes sleeping place) I have been enjoying having my kids "stop in" and visit with me when they return home from school. It has given me a chance to catch up on what is going on with them and listen to the little details of their day that I usually don't get to hear. There is something lost if you don't catch them right when they walk in the door. I am grateful for this blessing.

Being called as Young Women's President four days before foot surgery, not knowing when I was going to be able to actually be there was also a little daunting. How greatful I have been for the time at home to get things organized, for the time to study my handbooks, communicating with my presidency, and all the other things it takes to get things going!! It has become a part-time job for the past few weeks. I am grateful for this blessing.

My family has been the recipients of meals (lunches and dinners), subs at school and young women's, cards, phone calls, visits, housecleaning and prayers. I am so grateful for this blessing.

Yesterday we received news about Brooke and Brad who both had multiple doctors visits, blood drawn and other tests last week. Brad had a CT scan Tuesday to reveal MULTIPLE kidney stones. Brooke tested positive for celiac disease. We will find out more on these results next week when they both go back to the doctor. I HOPE we can find the blessings in these new challenges.
