Blessings

Lately in my life, I have been feeling very blessed.  I have many reasons to feel this way, and so I try to make sure that the people in my life know how much I appreciate them, and feel blessed by them.

Recently, I was able to cut ties with my ex husband in a way that I thought I wouldn't be able to do for the next couple of years.  It is amazing the weight I have felt lifted off of me.  I guess he decided he wanted to be done with the arrangement we had made as much as I did. I don't hate my ex at all, but I know we both know how much better off we are without each other, and I wish him all the best in the rest of his life.

I am blessed with an amazing family.  They are so supportive, encouraging, and loving.  My parents are the epitome of how a marriage should be.  They still cuddle, and hold hands, and love spending time together.  They still have inside jokes, and laugh every day together.  They work well together, and are an amazing example to me.  

My younger brother is my buddy.  He has put up with me being his date to the movies for the last year, and I wouldn't trade a single one of those, and he didn't say a word when I was bawling watching Frozen with him. (Thanks again bro! Love ya!)

My brother and his sweet wife are a wonderful blessing to me as well.  Even though they are far away in Brazil, I miss them, love them, and they are still an example to me.  They have a good working marriage that deals with a lot of things most marriages don't have to, and I admire the fact that they can make it work so well. Their sweet boys are another wonderful blessing in my life.  They make me smile, and I am a very proud aunt!  Ask anyone that spends more than 10 minutes with me.  It is hard for me to not show off how sweet and adorable they are.

I am blessed with work!  I have 2 careers that I really enjoy!  I love the law office that I work for, and I love being a cosmetologist.  They both make me happy, and help me to feel like I am helping people in different ways.  They are both much more rewarding than I could ever dream!  It is a blessing in and of itself to look forward to going into work. 

I have some of the most amazing friends I could ever ask for.  Each one is an amazing blessing in and of themselves, and I don't have the time to write each of them down, and how they are a blessing to me.  They know who they are, and I will be better about sharing that with you personally! ;)

I am blessed, because I have a loving Heavenly Father, and I have a Savior. I am grateful every day for them both, and for my knowledge of them, and the Atonement.  I am blessed to know that They have a plan of happiness for each and every one of us if we will follow it. 

And last, but certainly not least, there is my amazing boyfriend, who is a blessing in my life every day.  He makes me laugh, he helps me calm down when I am freaking out about nothing, and he makes me feel special every single day. The last 2 months of my life have been truly amazing.  I look forward to many more laughs, good discussions, and fun times!  

Look for the blessings in your life.  You will be amazed at how many you find.  These that I have listed are only a few.  I have many, many more. 

All my love,
