Day Three: Simple Pleasures
I thought I would list some of the simple pleasures in my life...things I love, and enjoy. These are things I am grateful for...for the freedom to enjoy them, and the means as well.
Yes that's right, cereal. I love cold cereal, and on occasion have eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I had to get the food out of the way so I could move on to other things! Of course I would put this - Frozen Yogurt. If I didn't include this little gem I am sure many of you would wonder what was wrong with me- so here it is. I LOVE frozen yogurt. This is one of the greatest simple pleasures.
Cleaning. I love to clean, organize, vacuum and even fold laundry (I just hate putting it away!). I wasn't always like this, but over the years it has become real enjoyable to me. There is something about the finished product that makes me feel awesome.
Our camera! Recently (back in August) I picked up one of these babies at a local jewelry/electronic store. The best part is, I got free photography classes with the purchase of the camera. I have really enjoyed learning how to use it. I love taking pictures (especially of Noah).
Sewing. This is recent passion, but one I feel I may have a knack for. I love sewing and have spent a lot of time sewing for this Christmas. Thanks to the mad skills of my Mom- I have been able to learn and sew a lot while living in Idaho (a goal I wanted to accomplish before I even moved here). I love trying new things and am slowly gaining more confidence. Maybe when Andy gets home I can get my own Machine!
This is a passion that Andy and I share a love for. Traveling. We love taking trips (even if they are small) and have dreams of taking many family vacations. I love to travel...and love even more the stories I can tell about my travels. Like the one about the one armed, toothless man in Jamaica (seriously)...right Chels? We will save that for another post I guess :)
Just a few others to mention: Shopping, eating out with Andy, running and an occasional road trip.
Hopefully we can all appreciate more of the simple things we are blessed with.
Day Four: The Temple
When Andy left for Afghanistan I made a personal goal to attend the temple each week. This has been one of the biggest blessings in my life and I am so grateful to have a temple so close. I know that Andy's life is being blessed by my temple attendance as well, and for that I am most grateful.
