It's been a while. There is nothing exciting to report. The Sharp's are just doin' our thing and gettin' along, so I decided to post some things that I am thankful for. These are for my benefit and not too exciting so if you have something better to do, go do it.
I am thankful for parents that kept a promise and stayed married. I am thankful to be a mother to these six unique and spectacular people that Jared and I are trying hard to raise well... this is my daily prayer.... please don't let us mess them up too badly or something close to that! I am thankful for Bear Lake springs and summers. I am thankful for edamame and Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy yogurt. I am thankful for my running shoes. I am thankful for Sundays and the help from heaven that I get each Sunday to sit with the kids by myself during sacrament meeting. Two of those heavenly helpers are named Cassie and Treven and I don't know the names of the others that have been there to help me be more patient and organized-but I want to meet them and tell them thank you one day.
I am thankful that we decided to have Emmie. She has been a total blessing and joy. I am thankful for a husband who cares more about doing what is right than he does about convenience or a four-wheeler (we'll get one of those one of these days love). I am thankful for turning the music up loud and dancing with my kids in the kitchen. I am thankful for an eternal perspective that helps me not make decisons based on the moment (most of the time- darn those Milky Way mint dark chocolate bars). I am thankful for Sara- she cuts my hair.
I am thankful for a husband and my Heavenly Father who are patient with me when I make mistakes and support me through that painful learning process. I am thankful for 70's country music-the soundtrack of my childhood. Wichita Lineman anyone? I am thankful for the smell of barns- that mixture of manure, horses and diesel. I am thankful for Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil. I am thankful for my Grandma. I am thankful for meadowlarks. I am thankful for North Beach. I am thankful for my big wool socks that Julie knitted for me. I am thankful for baby giggles and dog kisses. Most of all I am thankful for my testimony of my Savior and what He did for me. I am thankful for the peace and stillness that this gives me.
