Girl Scout Cookies 101:

Thank You Berry Munch have 120 calories in 2 cookies
Thin Mints have 160 calories in 4 cookies

The lesson for class today is no matter how many calories are in any kind of Girl Scout cookie it is best if you just leave the box closed or send the entire order of cookies out to the shop with your husband. I made the mistake of opening the box of Thin Mints because I thought I was able to eat only 4 cookies and walk away with 160 extra calories on my butt and thighs....MAN WAS I WRONG!!!! The whole sleeve is almost gone :( Thank goodness I get to go to yoga and spin class tonight!!!

Thankful!!!

 There are so many things in this world that are just heartbreaking! From natural disasters, families splitting, abuse, not being able to put food on the table, and the worst of all is poeple not knowing God!!!  I am so THANKFUL to know my Savior and know that he has everything under control for me! I am so THANKFUL that he placed John in my life, THANKFUL that he has blessed me with Blake and a little one on the way. How awesome is it that God trusts me with one of his children to teach and guide and show him the way!!! I am so THANKFUL for my family!! Not a day goes by that I don't think about what a great job my parents did with raising my sister, me and my brother!! I praise God daily for providing me with a house that stays warm at night and a husband that is a great provider! Being as emotional as I am right now, I might cry if I think about my next blessing too hard. I GET TO STAY HOME WITH MY LITTLE MAN!!!! How sweet is that! I get to teach him his manners, how to say his ABC's and 123's, how to treat others with respect, how to sing and dance in the living room, and our newest trick of potty training!!!! I can't even begin to imagine my days without him. I am THANKFUL for my cell phone!! My sister and I are both prego and due within 4-5 weeks of eachother and we are both going through lots of the same aches and pains! How cool is the invention of the cell phone and the fact that I can call her or she can call me and we can whine to eachother about heartburn, leg cramps, tiredness and our latest wrist pains!! Anytime I feel like my little world is falling apart I just have to look at it again and tell myself, "Yep, there is food on the table! Yep, there is a roof over our head! Yep, I may have a backache but someone else out there is living with cancer :( !! Yep, I have a loving family, both mine and Johns, we all get along unlike others that don't talk at all! Yep, the Lord loves me more than I can even fathom!!!! Life is beautiful!!!!" I hope everyone out there learns to count the blessings in their lives and stop counting how many bad things are happening! Love to all!!!!!!!!
