I've been thinking a lot about this past week and kinda wondering why. Why did this have to happen now of all times when i have two little kids to take care of? But overall the experience has been positive. I know, weird to say, but true. Here's a few blessings I realized came about because of it all.

1. Getting to see my Mom! Yes, she came to help Monday.
2. A week of not cooking dinner and new recipes to try.
3. Braydan canceling his Reiner trip. Yes, it was supposed to happen this weekend. Sorry Wes!
4. Learning that Eliza can take a bottle, thus future date nights longer than 2 hours.
5. Really having to turn to the Lord in prayer and faith.
7. Realizing how many friends I have to count on that love me!
8. Appreciating how awesome Braydan is as my husband!

I'm sure there's more, but I know that our family has been watched over and I feel very grateful.
