For me, a personal crisis will do just fine. On that note, I/we have been experiencing one of those and it has come to a bit of a head this week. So, in an effort to combat the elevated heart rate and sleepless nights, I need to remind myself of what I am grateful for:
- the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His church organization
- my incredible husband - who seems to sleep regardless of the stress, oh how I admire that.
- my cowboy and his countless, "I love you mom" 's
- my healthy baby on the way
- my raynor family
- my sherry family
- the knowledge that when this is over i will still have a home, income, healthy family and my soul
- the ability to cry - not cute, but such a good pressure release
- the scriptures and prayer
- emily and ryan's generosity with their netflix account
- that i made chocolate chip cookies on Sunday and froze leftover dough
- that we will be spending three weeks exploring with some of our best friends
- maternity pants
- that thomas blew on his food to cool it down and let out the most gargantuan backside eruption - I haven't laughed that hard in a long time

Hang in there :-)!
A little gratitude list can go a long way to cheer one up. Thanks for the reminder of so many good things in life. We'll be keeping you in our prayers. If Emi's account ever gets too crowded ours is primarily used for watching Dora during the day time...so we could share too.
Love you!
Love you Carrie Sherry.
I'm so glad the hard times are at least masked by the gift of Netflix. Love you guys.
I love your list Caroline. Each thing made me smile. I am grateful that the gospel really does seem to contain all the direction/answers we need even when sometimes all we need is just comfort to keep going. Love you Caroline.
