1) I had a wonderful date with my wife last night.  Dinner and a movie, but it's always fun to be with her.

2) My second son, who will be getting baptized in early June, surprised my wife yesterday with the news that he was going to have a personal fast, at least skipping breakfast, to help with some of the problems our family has been facing recently.  It was completely out of the blue for us.  He is a wonderful person!

3) My oldest son has been struggling with telling the truth recently.  Last night, while we were gone on our date, he again got himself into some minor trouble.  He didn't wait for us to find out, though.  He told us about it right away, without the babysitter requiring him to do it.  I'm proud of him for doing that and hope he will continue to communicate rather than hide things.

1) I'm thankful for divine protection and blessings.

1) I'm grateful that we had the money available to pay the nearly $1000 it cost to get 2 of our children their first pair of glasses, another child a new pair of glasses, and new contacts and glasses lenses for my wife.

2) I'm grateful that we finally were able to get these eye appointments made and taken care of.  We've known that our daughter needed to get glasses for months, and we've finally taken care of that.  She should really start to take off in her education and knowledge now that she can see clearly.

3) I'm grateful that we were able to drive home safely in a strong snow storm.  There were a few scary moments, but overall the travel was safe and problem free.

1) I'm thankful for the Savior and for his atoning sacrifice for all mankind.

2) I'm thankful for LDS General Conference, a great way to learn all of the things I need to be doing better in life, usually in an uplifting and helpful rather than critical way.

3) I'm thankful for increased knowledge throughout the world, and the increasing availability of that knowledge to the world's inhabitants.

1) I'm happy that we got a good deal on tile at Home Depot yesterday to fix up our bathroom.

2) I'm happy that we know a good handyman to come and fix up our bathroom.

3) I'm happy that I'm able to mostly keep up with the things that I need to be doing.

01 Apr 2010

1) I'm happy that the snow yesterday and today only caused my commute to be a little slower than normal and nothing else.

2) I'm thankful for good examples to model my life on.  I need to do more of that.

3) I'm happy that my wife is so much fun to be around.  We're best friends, and we enjoy hanging out together.
