10 Reasons Why My Life is Great

Though things do not always go how I want them to, I think Life Is Great because:

I have a wonderful wife who works hard and loves her husband and her children.

I have Noelle, who's smile and laugh are so contagious, you can not look at her and not smile, even when she is hating her treatments.

I have Adam, though not easy to deal with at times, he keeps me young and makes me laugh.

I have Tenille who loves to be my cuddle bug.

I have Julianne, who is growing up so fast it scares me but she loves to serve, I love that she does SPG, ask her what that means.

I have great support from my in-laws, who raised their children and are willing to pack up everything they own and move to Mesa so they can help me with my kids.

I live in a great house, and on weekends I can open the back windows and doors and pick one of my girls and dance to great wedding music.

I have great neighbors, all of them help look out for us, and take care of us. When the City of Mesa was going to take me to trial for my child playing at his friends house I had so many offers of support of people who would call the city and testify, I knew I had nothing to worry about.

I am employed. I work for a great company that understands the demands that the health of my kids put on me and lets me work for them anyway.

I have my health, which helps me be able to take care of those around me.

I have my Faith, when things get bad and I feel alone, I know that I am not, and that I can get through anything.

Those are the reasons why my life is so great and I can not help but smile.

Getting Serious

So there are a lot of things in life to take seriously, There are also a lot of things that I don't take seriously. New Years resolutions is one of them. See it is January 27th and I am just now talking about them outside of my head.
1. Find happy things in each day.
2. Be perfect in having weekly FHE
3. Find lessons for life in the scriptures
4. Monthly Temple Attendance
5. Run 1/2 Marathon
6. Finish 1 room per month

Lofty I know but I have plans. Nathan gave me a nice compact digital camera. I've been taking it with me most everywhere. In blogs to come You'll see the things that make me happy. I've also already made up a table of stuff that needs to be done around the house and I think as I get more organized I'll love my house as much as I love my neighborhood. Plus Nathan and I have registered for the 1/2 marathon already. Notice that the spiritual side of my goals are lacking in the planning phase. I've got to work harder to get this all in.
