It's a really good life

This morning Cori and I woke up just after 4am.

Not on purpose. We believe in sleeping until our 2 legged alarm clocks wake us up, they're pretty accurate 6:58 is our current 'alarm time'.

We lay in bed and tried to sleep for a long time. After a while Cori said to me, "We have a really good life." I couldn't help but agree with him and list off all the good things I could think of off the top of my head,

1. Excellent Parents
2. Siblings we like
3. Our beautiful home
4. A good job
5. A good boss to go along with that job
6. The ability to spend lots of time together
7. Time and opportunity to serve people
8. Good friends
9. Nice kids, not trying to be biased, they're just nice people.
10. And each other, we really like each other, that is such a blessing.

There are always those 'little detail' blessings that make life beautiful, but right now, I think we both feel pretty overwhelmed by all the big things that are so good. I know I do. Knowing things are so good for us makes me want to make sure we don't take them for granted/develop a sense of entitlement to them. That we don't say, "Gee Thanks Heavenly Father," and go on our merry way. Because I know that life doesn't get to look like this all the time. I want to make the most of what we've been given, I want Heavenly Father to know those blessings aren't being wasted on us.

To Remember:

*pretending- at our house Lilly is always the Mother*

Havah- "Motha, aw we going to have anotha ba-ba?"

Lilly- "Yes Honey. He will have a name and then he will turn into an Octopus to swim."

Random singing ensues...
