Count Your Many Blessings

Two posts in one day, I know, but I just wanted to add this one. Becky's newest baby, Caden, was blessed today and it was such a blessing to be there. He is so adorable! All of her kids! I feel like their aunt! Self designated maybe? Anyway, I went to the blessing and hung out with the family for a bit before heading off to my own church. It was fast and testimony meeting for me and as I sat there I started feeling a deep sense of gratitude and love for everything in my life. Mom asked me to write down a list of my blessings a while ago and I realized that as I started, I got more and more detailed. I'd say "work" and then felt like I needed to add "coworkers" and "computer talents" and "breaks" and "Friday's." The Lord loves of so much that He has given us soo much that it's impossible to number them! It's definitely worth it to start the list though. So, here is what I thought of today:

My family--both immediate and extended
My car--so I can do things that I want to when I want to, for example: go to Caden's blessing
Beauties of the earth--Specifically today, the sky with the sun rays shining through the clouds and snow on the mountains
Friends that love meMy wardTalents I have been given--today I was grateful specifically for my ability to love people and my talent to not only sing, but appreciate good music
Laughter
My new home teacher who was given his assignment a few weeks ago and has been diligent in visiting all of his "families"--which in our ward is about 10 per guy because the numbers are ridiculously out of balance (100+ girls and less than 40 guys)
My roommates--current and former
The gospel--which includes many facets, but today specifically the atonement and the love for and from God and Jesus Christ

Those are just a few that I wanted to list. It was such an amazing day.

Britt's has a blog? What?!

So, I decided that since I have a computer, and since I have have every intention of writing in my journal, but never do, I decided that I should start a blog! Not only will others have a an update on my life, but I will also have a narrative that will never replace my journal, but at least it will be something of a log into my life. :) So, here it is! Enjoy!
