1- Today I want to highlight how grateful I am for my job~

Since 2002 I have worked for OneGreatFamily.com, a genealogy company based out of Utah. I manage their affiliate program, write a weekly newsletter to all our members, and other online marketing tasks. I was introduced to the company by working at an Online Marketing Agency and then they recruited me to come work directly for them in 2003. When I announced we were moving to Arizona, my boss asked if I would be willing to continue working for them at home. So for the past 5 years I have worked for them from home. This has been such a huge blessing in our lives. Right now I work about 2-3 hours a day (during naptimes, but mostly in the evenings). I love it because it keeps my mind fresh and gives me a break from my mommy brain. I try never to complain about it because I am so fortunate to have this great job that allows me to work from home.

2- Another highlight for today is a conversation with Preston (don't you love 3 year old conversations):

Preston: Mom, where does the Easter bunny live?
Heather: Hmmm, He lives in grass
Preston: Up a tree or in a nest
Heather: In a nest
Preston: Taking care of his babies?
Heather: Yes, he has lots of babies
Preston: When is he coming to Preston's house?
Heather: On Sunday
Preston: He has to come a long long far away
Heather: yes he does
Preston: Look, there is grass, he lives there and there and there...... There are a lot of Easter Bunnies mom
Heather; Yes there are Preston! (you have no idea!)

3 - I had an amazing experience last night that made me realize how important my calling of ward missionary is. I went to this Arbonne party and ended up talking to this friend of ours about our church beliefs for almost 2 hours. I got to answer a bunch of her questions and invited her to come for a church tour to learn more. I cannot express to you the enourmous amount of inspiration I felt when answering her questions. I wrote her an email and have been waiting all day for a reply, but haven't heard from her :( It's amazing how when you sincerely pray for help to do good things for others, those prayers are always answered.....
