New Skills

So today was a good day. Had a few jobs. Lunch with sister/in-law, Heather and tonight, Kelli learned how to make California Rolls. Jeremy is pretty excited about that as he LOVES California Rolls. Sadly, she has to move to SC to learn how to make CALIFORNIA rolls. Thanks to Yuko, a lady at church, for teaching a group of us how to make them. It's remarkably simple and really yummy!

It's kind of fun to learn something new! Even better when Jeremy gets to eat the fruits of the labor!

It's really the simple things in life that make it all worth it!

Gratitude

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never have enough.” Oprah Winfrey

What a true statement! These past few months we've had some really tough things going on and this quote has come to mind many times. A friend of ours passed away at age 44. Friends have had struggles with health, family issues and personal issues. But lately Jeremy & I have felt even more gratitude for the relationship we have. There are so many things in this world that can tear down a marriage and we work hard to make sure we protect any of those things from getting into ours. We have seen many great blessings come from our efforts.

We are greatful for the love and support of friends and family. We are blessed with both!

We know, this blog sounds a bit sappy, but we have learned in our "advanced age" that you have to take time every day to reflect on the things in your life that you are grateful for. We can't even begin tell you what it's done for our marriage, and just our overall happiness!

Thank you to all of you for your support!
