Izzy getting loved by his cousin, Monica Casey
We just came home from Jared's parent's for the day, and I am overwhelmed by the blessings that we have! I have been blessed with such a great family for in-laws. I am truly thankful for all of them, and I count them as one of my greatest blessings. I think lately I have been faced with the idea of my mortality, and it has had us counting our blessings. We wake up every day in one of the most beautiful places in the world, surrounded by great people who are striving to be their best. We have great families and beautiful children. The biggest blessing of all, and the one that I have been struck by lately, is that we have a Father who loves us. I think that is so amazing! It has been a constant thought in my head... No matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets, no matter where we are, He loves us. Not just me and my family, but everyone! It makes you think differently about someone (the crazy neighbor or the person who is annoying or whoever) when you think about how much they are loved by our Father in Heaven! I am so glad that I know this. It makes every day better. Life is Easier when I know that life might be really hard, but Heavenly Father loves us and will help us through. We also just wanted to say.....Thank you so much to each of our family and friends for being such a great blessing in our lives! We love you, and are so thankful for the people that you are!

Nicole, I was on the computer today and I had a feeling to visit your blog...I really like what you said. Its true. Life, although hard at times, really is packed full of such rich blessings. Sometimes it just takes someone pointing it out to you to realize...yah, I believe that too! Thanks for the uplift!
