Conference Weekend

Every year I love conference so much! It's definitely harder to watch with Whitney running around but she was great this year! We are lucky enough to have DVR and I went back during naps and watched talks I missed.

This year I felt especially impressed that I need to be more grateful for all of my blessings. It seems so simple and kind of sad that I needed that reminder. I apologized to Jason for being so negative. We have so many things for which to be grateful. Jason and I are going through a rough financial time but we live with my parents who do so much for us. We have relatively few bills; we are all in good health; I have a good job that has been able to sustain us; Jason has learned so much from doing his own business and gained valuable experience and we have each other and the blessing of another baby on the way! I am very lucky.

I feel like that optimism would help me so much when I get discouraged. If I could only maintain that perspective and be continually grateful I could support Jason in his efforts to find a job, I could be a better mother, teacher, and daughter, I would be able to lift those around me.

I'm thankful for the gospel and my testimony of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon, our prophets, and the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
