I have not been able to blog the last couple of days because I have been so busy. This week has been crazy and this weekend is going to be even crazier - one of the busiest weekends of my life. I can't wait until Monday comes!

So in the midst of this craziness I have some things to be very grateful for:

1 - Today our freezer in the garage broke and stopped working. I noticed it about 11:30am and all the food was thawed. I thought maybe the door was a little bit open so I closed it really tight and checked it in 30 minutes and it still was not cooling. I called Heidi and she offered to give us their freezer. Someone had given it to them and they don't really use it. I was thrilled to say the least (especially since this past Monday I sent a significant amount of money to the IRS). I called my mom and she was up here in 15 minutes with the truck and watched Preston and Wesley while Tom and I went over to pick it up and Branden rode in the back of the truck to our house holding the freezer so it could stay upright. I wish I got a picture of it because it was hilarious. I followed behind them and laughed the whole way. Now we have this big freezer in the garage (our other one was a fridge/freezer). I'm really excited about it.

2 - Today after Playgroup my friend Rachel came over and helped me put together the dumb (sorry) Missionary Packets for this Sunday. She was super quick and we got them done in 45 minutes. I had SEVERAL friends offer to help me. She came to help me so I could get a nap today because I have had 3 sleepless nights (for various reaons). But then the whole freezer thing happened so I am off to bed now!

3 - Yesterday my totally pregnant sister came up and watched my kids and cleaned my house while I worked. I know it seems like they are always helping me - but they are. They always say that I help them out, but I really don't. I feel like I'm always taking taking taking and never giving to them. I hope hope hope when Heidi has her baby I will be able to help her as much as she helps me.

I have tons more to write about, but I'm exhausted. I probably won't be able to write until Monday which then I will have plenty to write about with my crazy weekend :)
