Gratitude Helps

Jot down three things you're grateful for every day. Research shows that people who keep a gratitude list sleep better and longer, have more energy and progress toward important life goals better than those who did not keep such a list.

Vegas

We're in Vegas this week. Blair had to do some work for a customer here. The weather is beautiful. It is 68 degrees. We visited Hoover Dam this morning. It is amazing. They're working on a new bridge. We didn't do the tour that goes down underground. They have a sign posted that if you're claustrophobic that it wouldn't be for you. We decided against it. I packed a camara, books, vitamins, and CD's to listen to on the way in a small bag. I left it at home on my bed. So, no pictures this time. We stopped at Claim Jumper for lunch. Yesterday we ate at In N Out. They have an In n Out in Washington and we wanted to stop there on Saturday, but it was packed and a line of cars wrapped around the building. We couldn't believe it. There was a Del Taco next to it with 2 people inside. We ate there.

Family

We had a great opportunity this week to have Sam and Amber's 3 oldest children - Hailey, Ivan and Caleb stay with us while they and Ella were in Georgia on a job interview. We went to the movie "Tale of Despereaux". Heidi, Benji and James came with us for the matinee. Benji joined his cousins for a sleepover and we had lots of fun. I have to say how grateful I am for these sweet little children. (Jack included) They bring so much joy. I'm grateful for my good kids and their good spouses who try hard in all they do. I'm a proud and grateful mom and grandma.

Okay, I guess I was tagged also. Here's the 4th photo. It was at Hailey's baptism.
