Inspired!

Today I am felling inspired.....inspired to be a better friend, wife, and mother. To be a better me! Some things that have inspired me today are:

*Blogs of friends and family and people that I have never met. Although today it's mostly my sister-in-law Chanelle. She writes about striving to be better and it inspires me to be better.

*My awesome visiting teaching companion Julie. I want to grow up and be just like her. Love her!!

*My sweet baby boy who is constantly growing and learning new things....and always has a smile on his face or a kiss to give to his mommy.

*The restored gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A loving Heavenly Father and Savior. President Thomas S. Monson, his counselors and all the apostles who we are able to hear from on a regular basis. My testimony!

*My eternal companion.

*A very talented and creative friend.

*A family who is always willing to do anything big or small to help out with a moments notice (but mostly with no notice at all).

*A sister-in-law who has inspired a girl with hates to read to actually really really enjoy reading.

*My brother who is serving a mission in Australia with all of his heart, might and mind.

*My wonderful Behives! And the personal progress program.

Taking the time to list things that have inspired me today (or as it turns out.....listing my blessings) has really lifted my spirits and has motivated me to be better. Not only have I listed things that inspire me but I have created a list of personal goals to help me check in and keep track my progress of becoming a better friend, wife and mother. I think I would like to make this random list of inspirations a regular occurrence....maybe Wednesday's Inspirations? We shall see. Now I'm off to get started on my list of goals.

You sure know how to inspire me to be better! I think you made my year and I think I am just about the luckiest to get to hang out with you! I tell my old man often: I just love Katie. I'm so glad I get to be her companion. THanks for looking past my Dr Pepper habit!
