Christmas time!

I love this time of the year! It is cold outside, but at least there is no snow. Christmas time is such a wonderful time to reconnect with friends and concentrate on important things. I look forward to the two weeks I have off coming up soon, because I really want to find something valuable to do with the time I have off. Lately, in church we've been talking about service in the community and I really want to do something with it. So, maybe I'll try to find something for me to do.

Taylor's birthday has come and gone! He is officially 24. I made him a cake on Sunday since last year I didn't! I'm a bad wife! But, this year he gets 3 cakes! So, I hope that makes up for it. On Friday we went to look at lights in downtown Fort Worth with his parents and it was actually really beautiful. We just bundled up and walked around. On Sunday, we had a family dinner with a funfetti cake with vanilla icing and sprinkles. And on Saturday, his whole family is getting together to celebrate his birthday. I think he's pretty lucky. I'm grateful for him and having him for another year in my life. I try not to take advantage of the precious gift of life.

I feel so very blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and to have my wonderful family happy and healthy. I'm also grateful to have great friends who make me want to be a better person. Even when trials appear in your life you can always look around and find wonderful blessings in your life. I think it helps you get over trials and realize how much our Father in Heaven really does love you. Have a wonderful week!
