- yesterday was such a beautiful day. we went to the park after I picked abby up from school and we enjoyed being outside for a little while (till it was time for the museum)
- i am thankful for my wonderful, hard working husband. when we first got married i always asked him if he thought i should be a SAHM. he always said he just wanted me to be happy. he has supported me through the past 3 years of indecision over staying home/working/working from home and i am truly greatful that he is such a support to me and the girls
- i am thankful for abby. she is becoming quite the conversationalist. everyone was talking on saturday what their favorite stage is, and i am really loving that she's turning into a person right before my eyes.
- i am thankful that we were able to have 2 little girls who i hope will grow up to be the best of friends. libby lights up when she sees abby and abby's first thought is always of her 'baby sisiter'
- i am greatful for libby. libby made us a family and she has such a calm, sweet spirit about her that even strangers comment on what a happy, good natured baby she is. she has a double ear infection and is teething and you'd never know it
- i am greatful for my faith and my religion. without the church i wouldn't have my parents, my family, or chris (and subsequently my girls). i know that every step i've taken in life and every path i've chosen has been the right one. I love that song "God Blessed the Broken Road". that's how i feel about chris and about so many things in life that didn't come easy
- i am grateful to have a president that i can believe in and be proud of. with all the protests yesterday, i was thinking as i drove to the museum and then the library today for story time, of all the wonderful GOVERNMENT FUNDED programs that i take advantage of....i am glad to pay taxes for my kid to go to a good school, to enjoy library and museum activities. let the haters hate and the naysayers nay, but i just don't understand people and I am starting to get tired of keeping quiet about it.
- i am greatful Lost was on last night. i LOVE that show!

Thankful Thursday
As I was taking Abby yesterday to a 'toddler time' at the museum, I was thinking of all the things I am thankful for and it being Thursday today, I thought I would add them to my blog.

I as well enjoy all the terrific Government Funded programs.
Who says you have to keep quiet about how you feel??!! I have a few friends up here that I constantly talk politics with that are huge Chavez.....I mean Obama supporters! :) No matter what side your on, you'll always have close to 50% of the people against you. So don't keep it all locked up inside. Have rational discusions with it. The thing that I see on both sides is that a huge portion of Liberals and a huge portion of Conservatives suffer from ignorance! I went to the tea party up here and it was obvious that a lot of people don't even know what they're protesting. Also...a huge amount of Obama supporters don't even know what he's for. They just know he's not George Bush so he has to be better. I read an article the other day that said 30% of voters under 30 are for socialism. i want to see another poll that shows how many of that 30% even know what socialism is. The same could be asked to the 30% that support capitalism. I'm sure a good amount of them couldn't adequately explain it. You have the bleeding heart liberals who don't care about what's best for the economy and then you have the racist conservatives. If everyone actually paid attention to what was really going on and really tried to figure out what was best for us politics would be so different. It's sad really. The best option we have out there is not really the best that could be out there in my opinion. We should have more discussion about this!! As long as you can do it without getting mad at me!
you are right nick - i think mostly i am happy that obama is doing *something*, even if it turns out to be misguided. i just feel like being LDS pigeon holes you into also being/feeling XY&Z and having your sunday school, RS teacher and talks at church that give the person's opinion on social issues - not doctrine - because they think everyone else feels the same way they do. The "commy liberals" have to sit in the back and keep quiet! I was going to post something though that Bro Weise's talk yest made me think about. I think if we can talk politics and not fight, anybody can!
you should definitely avoid political discussions from. Sticking to doctrine would be wise. Even if the president appears to be a socialist!! :) just kidding. My only problem that I had with Bush was when he started spending like crazy. The govt should do what any responsible household should do, don't spend money you don't have. You ever put together a budget where you tell yourself you're going to pay off a bill with money you're going to get in the future and you put your budget in the best possible light? For example, I was going to pay off a credit card with my bonus and I was going to make bigger payments towards something else with the raise I was going to get this year. Well...my bonus is going to be less than 3% and I didn't get a raise. So there goes that plan! If I knew that my bonus was going to be this small and I wouldn't get a raise this year, my spending last year would've been a bit different. I just hope that all the spending we're doing with money we don't have doesn't create a disaster in the coming years. I'm not hoping for failure just to show that we were right b/c it's hard to gloat when you can't get a job or when you can't do better than the year before. I just hope that Obama realizes that 50% of the people didn't vote for him so he needs to take them into consideration still. He does have to run for office again. I thought he would surely wait for his 2nd term to spend this much. i was wrong....But still...I'm not hoping for failure, I just hope he listens to the protests of a decent amount of people who are saying, cut out anything that we don't have to have. Probably not the best time in the world to bring in universal healthcare or tackle global warming...but whatever.
we should talk more often about politics. my mom at times can be a bleeding heart liberal and I enjoy our discussions. I really enjoy talking with friends who voted for obama b/c he's good at speaking.
