Just thought I'd make a list...some silly ones, I have to admit.
1. Jordan--the most wonderful husband ever!
2. Our unborn offspring :) The little kicker, or "Baby Helga," as Jordan and I sometimes call her, since she's been nameless.
3. The fact that I CAN get pregnant. That is a blessing.
4. My family, Jordan's family, all the family...
5. To live in a FREE country!! Hopefully it will stay that way!
6. Tylenol and Diet Coke for the headaches...
7. The gospel, scriptures, the true church, the Prophet, etc.
8. Cell phones, email, computers, texting, all of the wonderful ways in which to communicate
9. This blog! Journal writing is OUT OF THE QUESTION.
10. That my house isn't in foreclosure...that we can pay all of our bills and that we have jobs!
11. My soft bed, central heating and air, food on the table, etc.
12. That I haven't totally swelled UP...at least not yet, I guess...I can still wear pre-pregnancy SHOES
13. Almond Joy, chocolate in general, those chocolate cherries...yummm...Harry & David :), pumpkin pie, people that cook yummy food for me to eat!
15. GREAT FRIENDS...you know who you are!
16. That I don't have stretch marks ALL over my body, just on most of it...
17. That Jordan has decided on "Claire" for our little girl--YAY!!!! Middle name still to come...
18. That terrorists aren't coming to blow up my neighborhood
19. That Obama probably won't totally follow the ways of his friend Bill Ayers :)
20. That my husband still thinks I'm HOT, even though I feel and look like a whale, I think!
21. That Christmas music plays on the radio...even during Thanksgiving!! (except for that absolutely STUPID song, "Christmas Shoes." Sorry, hate it. WHY does the dying Mom have to have new shoes? Did she have a shoe fetish in her life? Why waste the money on the shoes if she's going to die? Plus the little kid didn't even have the money for them--he should have just stayed by her side instead! Ok I'll stop talking about this.
22. That I sing in the Salt Lake Symphonic Choir...it's so fun!!
23. That I never had to have braces and my teeth grew in perfectly
24. That my husband is Mr. Fixit around the house, Mr. "Geeksquad" in terms of computers and any electronic equipment--he is VERY useful and saves us LOTS of money!!
25. That Jordan and I will be together forever, awwww :)

Of course you should use the quote. Didn't you notice that I stole your gratitude quote last time! LOL. We just feel the same way about things. I love your blog by the way. It is always funny and uplifting. I feel the same about journals. I have never been able to stick to one. Journal blogs are just my style.
I can't believe you haven't had braces!! We are grateful for many of the same things (almond joy, diet coke, pumpkin pie, "Claire" for your baby name, and "Juliann" for the middle name!) :)
Thanks for sharing that. I think sometimes we take what we have for granted and we need to remember the things that mean the most to us. Hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
Ok, so you totally stole my daughter’s name!! I was hoping you'd name yours after the sausage!! :) ok, I’ll get over it, I’ll just have to think of a better girl name. :) Regarding Christmas shoes.... he said he wanted his mom to look beautiful when she met Jesus, wanted her to be Sunday best, you can't meet Jesus bare foot!! I love that song, makes me want to cry every time I hear it!!
I love the name Claire, Janie Kate would TOTALLY be a little Claire except for the obvious problem with our last name... HA!
Also can't believe that you never had braces you lucky girl (I never had them either but my teeth are so not in alignment)
How are you feeling these days?
