Counting My Blessings: Week In Review
It was a busy day especially with Jake traveling for work, but we got through it safely and thankfully are back together again. Always happy to have him back home. Other than one of the girls fighting a cold we have nothing to complain about. We are blessed, look around you and think about the good and positive blessings all around you.
I want to be accountable to you so the following are snip-its of some of the things I am thankful for this past week.

Counting My Blessings: Week In Review
It was a fun week with my family. While Jake and I were working this week the girls were busy on the farm at Horse Camp. They were riding horses in the mornings, had a picnic lunch, helped with animal chores, and did a Bible Study at camp. It was a busy and tiring day for them, but they loved it and several times I think they would have preferred to stay at camp instead of coming home. They were able to experience a wide variety of tasks – trimming goat hooves, playing with soft baby lambs, washing horses & goats, hunting for chickens eggs, and more good activities. They had a blast and loved it!

Counting My Blessings – Week In Review:
Monday –Thankful that the kids have the opportunity to go to Horse / Farm / Bible Study camp while Jake and I were working. They loved it! Also, it is conveniently located only a few minutes away from my work which is a great bonus too!
Tuesday – Thankful for Jake and his thoughtfulness. He went out of his way to stop by the store and pick up some items as a surprise for me. I had been missing an ingredient in my smoothie drink this week (he picked up the chocolate flavor for me as a surprise), he got a couple non-dairy Mac-N-Cheese mixes for Brina, and bath salts to help me loosen up and relax a little bit more. Love it when he surprises me with special items that are perfect for that day, moment, or time. I am richly blessed to have him as my partner. Love this man dearly more and more all the time!!! XOXOXO
Wednesday – Thankful for my acupuncture doctor. My back and shoulder were really tender and they made time to see me today which was a huge help in loosening me back up.
Thursday – Thankful for my work and that they are willing to allow me to work around the girls camp schedule. The kids have been coming into work with me in the morning, I have been stopping to take them to camp and returning to work until they are out of camp. They have been a big help in getting little tasks done for me at work too.
Friday – Thankful for an opportunity to get some errands run and chores done at home so we can head into the weekend a little more prepared and ready.
Saturday – Thankful for my weekend with family. We had a lot to get done with everything going on and a busy week ahead, but we worked together, had fun, and was able to get some items done that needed attention.
Sunday – Thankful our church, the message, and a place where our girls can learn and grow with other kids their age.
