Thankful Part 3

                                                                        Nov 6.

I imagined my day 6 being about a much different subject, but it seems that life never goes the way you plan.
Today I am thankful for trials. Trials that strengthen your testimony of the Savior, that make you grow, that make you closer to the ones you love, and that show you the comfort the Holy Ghost can bring.
Many of you may have already guessed that Landon and I were expecting. Unfortunately, at my 10 week doctors appointment we found out that our little one no longer had a heartbeat. Needless to say it has brought us a lot of heartache but has also brought us closer to the Savior, to each other, and to our families. I normally wouldn't share such personal info here on our blog, but I know that there are many women who go through this and want you to know you are not alone. As hard as it is, be thankful for your trials.

I'm thankful for the temple. What an amazing place it is. I love the peace I feel there. I love visiting here in Utah and being able to see a temple right out my parents' window. I hope that those of you living in Utah or close to a temple never take it for granted. I hope that I never take the temple for granted.

I'm thankful for talents. It's so amazing how many talents are spread throughout the world. I have been blessed with great talents and hope that I can use them to do good and positively impact those around me. I'm also thankful for those who have talents that I don't that are willing to share them with me. I definitely need to be better at sharing mine more.

I'm thankful for friends. I have awesome friends in Utah and Iowa. Many of them on missions around the world. I'm so glad to have them, especially in Iowa, away from family. I'm especially thankful for my best friend, my mom.

    I just linked to your blog via Pinterest and have been reading back through all your great posts. Anyway I had no idea you were expecting and even the heartbreak of realizing it makes me feel for you. For some reason this also brought me comfort because I think I will be going through the same trial. Your time will come and I know you will be such an amazing mother! Xoxo ali

Table & Chair Matchup

The dining room is one place people really do their home a disservice.  How? They have a matching dining set, a generic light fixture, and no rug under their table.  Raise your hand if that's you.  Don't worry, you're not alone.  Just by adjusting those 3 things (mix up your chairs, add a fun light fixture, add a rug) you can really revamp your dining room.  Just bought your dining set and can't afford new chairs?  Easy.  Keep your side chairs, but find some upholstered chairs to add as captain's chairs on each end of the table.  It will mix it up just enough! Plus you'll have 2 extra chairs when you have guests over.  Another option is painting your chairs a different color from your table and add some fun cushions or reupholstering the seats.                                             ...
