Week 25: Blessings

So.... I am flying solo for the next few days.

AJ is in NYC! His company, Novi Security, is being featured on this Wednesday's episode of 'Live with Michael and Kelly!' AJ won't be on TV, but he got to fly the prototype out to avoid the risk of it breaking. This show guarantees a lot of company/product exposure, so we are feeling pretty good about that! C: I'm such a proud wife!

Blessings::
- since it has been so hot in Utah the past little while, it has been easy to drink enough water! I'm meeting my goal (within a few ounces) every day! 
- frozen strawberries.... Enough said! 
- I made Rice Krispie treats with some marshmallows I found at the health food store! The package cost an arm and a leg, but they are delicious! 
- I got a little bit of a tan from when I was locked out of the house on Tuesday morning. I sat in the sun for a bit and then moved over to the shade! It ended up being a good experience-- I didn't have my phone or iPad (or anything for that matter) so I had a lot of thinking time. I was able to really enjoy the peace and quiet because I probably won't get much of that once the babies come! C: I am a lucky woman, too, because AJ came home 30 minutes earlier than I was expecting- so it was only 3 hours instead of 3.5! 
- AJ and I went on a date to Red Robin...YUM! I have been craving their fish'n'chips for the past few weeks and it was so good to satisfy that craving! Not to mention all the wonderful conversation we had.
- the boys had an all out epic battle of kicks and punches today. It felt good to have so much movement going on- sadly they have been sleepy the past few days and I haven't felt them very much. I was starting to get worried until the epic battle began! 
- I straightened my hair today. It's the little things c:
- my friend, Abigayle, made us a strawberry/rhubarb pie. It was amazing.
- AJ and I went to the temple! We love the peace that we feel there!! 
- I'm still feeling healthy! 
- AJ and I went to visit his Grandpa in a nursing home in AmFork. He recently moved here from Indiana with AJs Grandma! The last time we saw him was when we visited him in the Indiana nursing home 2 years ago! Grandpa's communication is pretty limited- but AJ knows how to get a reaction- AJ likes to tease Grandpa! He tried to tell Grandpa that we were democrat and Grandpa chuckled and said, 'no.' He also got pretty excited when I told him about the twins. C: 
- I went to my friend's baby shower. It was so much fun- and I met some really sweet people there, too! 
- Stephen and Stefani brought over a sweet spontaneous gift today- a foot spa package! Oh man oh man- my little (or not so little) swollen feet definitely need a spa treatment! I am SO looking forward to using it! 
- there is a German shepherd puppy staying in the backyard for a week...in addition to the choloate lab who lives here! AJ was in Heaven. Every free second he would slip away and play with the dogs. It was so cute to see him pet and tease and get all starry-eyed over the doggies.


I'm just feeling happy. 
It is easy to get caught up in the stress of what is going to happen. All the unkown factors lurking about- so I am constantly reminding myself that God knows best.
When I am able to remember that God knows best, it is easier to have an attitude of gratitude! 

Love, 
G
