:: For having a good conversation with a friend. They will be embarking on a similar housing situation like we have and it was nice for me to share the quotes, talks, experiences that have been helpful for me. We are still in the thick of it, but I do know that some of the reasons we have trials is so that we can help someone else going through the same thing.

:: Date night. With Mark only working 3 days, we do see a lot more of each other than we did, but there is something about a date night that seems to polish up a relationship. We went to eat, the temple, and then ice cream afterward. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I do tend to love those the best!

:: For good friends for my kids. I had great friends growing up and I know that they were instrumental in my getting to where I am today.

:: For my girls sleeping together and actually sleeping! We have had them separated for the past week and since it was the weekend, we let them sleep together, and they did it!!

:: For blogs. I love to go back and read mine and as I'm turning 2013 into a book, it's been so fun to read what I documented and how they bring up the memory. I've always been a journal-er and started when I was 8. It is a big part of who I am and I'm grateful for the technology they have that makes it so easy to have my blog entries tangible.
