Blessed.

We are so blessed. We just spent an average Sunday, doing the same things we always do, and yet looking back, we were blessed! I am the singing time leader and despite added nausea and fatigue due to pregnancy, I have been strengthened and inspired to be able to plan my singing times quickly and not feel overwhelmed in the process. Blessed.

When we got to church a sister in the ward immediately congratulated us and asked if I could use all her maternity clothes, which she no longer needs. Yes! Blessed.

At church Isaac would not be still or the least bit quiet (he WANTED to be on the stand! NOT in the pew!) and I had to take him out to the mother's room. However, the talks were piped into the room and I still felt the spirit and peace of truth's witness. Blessed.

Sunday evening we went to grandma and grandpa Hales' and once again we were blessed with a wonderful meal and family to interact with and enjoy. Definitely blessed.

In the evening I got to call my brother in college and my family in WA. Today my brother Micah was baptized, and although I wasn't able to be there, I got to talk to him and feel his excitement and hear how it went. I am so thankful for family who strives to do what's right, and phones to share their experiences! Blessed.

Most importantly I feel blessed to be a mother, to be a wife, to be a daughter, and to have a family. Blessed.
