1. For my awesome brother-in-law and father-in-law who came to my rescue on Wednesday when my truck broke down while Ben was hunting. Even though I had to walk home from where the truck died--with two kids in tow--Johnny came over later that night to diagnose (bad fuel pump). Then, he took me to my mom's house for the night and then went back with my FIL to tow the truck to my house. Thursday night, they both came out late, with a new fuel pump, and stayed until it was fixed. Not only am I thankful that they were able to help while my husband wasn't, I'm thankful that we didn't have to fork out the money for the pump (it'll be an early Christmas present!)
2. For a day off. Well, if I'm being technical, 3 days off. For some reason, the district gave us the Friday before parent teacher conference off instead of the Friday after (lame), so I got to stay home on Friday with my cute kids. Erich came to snuggle with me early in the morning (Ben was still hunting), Lana woke only once at 5am and went right back to sleep. None of us woke up again until 8:30. That was so heavenly! After taking our time getting ready and finishing some housework, I packed us all up and went to the zoo. It was a lovely day, made even lovelier when Ben got home and I didn't have to sleep another night alone in my house (I hate sleeping here alone!).
4. For the General Relief Society conference last night. Ben's aunt, Linda, got tickets from her stake this year and invited a bunch of the girls in the family to go. I went down with my cute sister-in-law, Trina, and met everyone for lunch before going to the Conference Center. It was not only a much needed 'girls night out,' but I was utterly amazed at how each talk seemed to apply to my current situation and I was deeply spiritually fed & uplifted. We were able to sit quite close to the front. It made me look even more forward to conference weekend!
