Is there REALLY a reason to be THANKFUL??

As Thanksgiving is drawing closer, I hear and read what people are Thankful for, and wonder why I am not feeling that way about the things that I have. Should I be Thankful for the things that I have, when the one thing I want I can't have.I have a home, clothes on my back, food on my table a wonderful and loving husband and a supportive family, friends,my health, a car, a job, I live in a country that I can practice the religion of my choice, I have the freedom to choose what I want to do,and much more. I pretty much have everything any girl could ever ask for, but one thing... a child. I remember growing up and my sister and I would be playing in our room with my little yellow haired Cabbage Patch doll, and she was my daughter, I fed her, changed her did her hair( as much as you could style a head full of yellow yarn). Was that my chance? Is that all I am going to get? I see people all around me with their arms full of these adorable babies and I so want that to be Jared and I. Everyone says to "be patient" "give it time" "someday Danielle it will be your turn" I love the kind words people say to me to help me feel better, but it still hurts. I was talking (IM-ing) to a friend who has been struggling with this same infertility problems as Jared and I have, after talking to her, I got an over whelming feeling that I was being selfish for not being grateful for what I have. The pas week at school, my Kindergartner's have been working in what they are grateful for and it is as simple as... Christmas, their beds, their grandpa and grandma, brothers and sisters. They are 5 and can find many things to be Thankful for and here I am 29+ and I can't be grateful for anything that I have, because I don't have what I want... to me that sounds like a spoiled brat. Well, I am very grateful for my home, clothes on my back, food on my table a wonderful and loving husband and a supportive family, friends,my health, a car, a job, I live in a country that I can practice the religion of my choice, I have the freedom to choose what I want to do,and much more. And someday I will get what I want, it may not be in this lifetime, but someday I will.

If Life Were Easy...

Just a little blup of how I am feeling... you really find out who your true friends are when you are going through trials and every ounce of faith that you can come up with is being tried. Thank you to all my friends and family who have been there for me and offering me advice and a hug. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! XOXOXOXOXO

My HEART is OVER FLOWING

My heart is over flowing with gratitude for my HEAVENLY FATHER for all that he has blessed me with...

BuSy SuMmEr!!!

I has been a busy summer. We have been going and going since June and it's not looking like it will be slowing down any until after Labor Day when we come back from Montana and the first home game for the Montana Grizzlies. We are super excited to go because all of my family will be there.

We were able to spend some time in Glacier National Park in June and that was amazing. Here are a few of the pictures...

GLACIER PARK-THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER!!

Last week Jared and I went up to Glacier National Park- it was AMAZING!!! Everything about it was just perfect, the weather, the animals, absolutely everything. This is just on of the many waterfalls that we saw. I will post more when I get a some more time.

Rain Rain go away...

Here it is the end of May and surprise surprise it's RAINING!!! I am so tired of the rain and the wind and the cold. I am ready to be outside and go on walks and go golfing with my husband and BBQing with my friends, and yeah!! But no I am stuck in my house with the windows closed (the only one that is open is the bedroom cause Jared likes to sleep in a freezer). I keep hoping that someday Jared will feel the same way and we can get out of this place, that's not looking very promising. I am sorry that this post is kinda raunchy, but I have to vent, (Jared is tired of hearing it) I am hoping by posting this Mother Nature will read this and feel bad for us in Cache Valley and change her mind about keeping winter here for 9 months.

It's been a while...

I just noticed that it has been a while since I blogged. a lot has happened in the last month. Girls Scout Cookies are done, we are on the tail end of Girl Scouts for the year ( I can hear the angels singing) We made our plans for our summer trip. We are going to Glacier Park. I haven't been there in 17 years, and I am so excited to show Jared the places that I use to go when I was younger. We have enjoyed the warmish weather that we have been having, we got to invite some friends over and BBQ yummy hamburgers and all the fixin's, Gary seemed to enjoy it. Other then that we are just waiting for summer to come. Hope everyone's having a good spring.
