Birthday blessings!

Count your many blessings, name them one by one (in no particular order but in about a 14 hour time frame).
1. muffins and a memory book
2. ice cream (3 varieties) and precious, uninterrupted conversation
3. gifts galore
4. Williams-Sonoma
5. Doritos
6. Brent's cheesecake w/ strawberries (OH MY!!)
7. opportunity to give service surrounded by my beautiful Beehives and awesome leaders
8. thoughtful phone calls
9. Hoops & YoYo email cards
10. enough lung power to blow out 41 birthday candles that almost set off the smoke alarm at the church
11. ears to hear my children say "Happy Birthday Mom" at least 1,000 times and hear Brent whisper that we have plans on Friday
12. arms to feel my children's happy birthday hugs
13. cheeks to feel Cooper's repeated birthday kisses (I think we counted 41)
14. the birthday card from my husband
15. eyes to read the words he wrote in my card
16. and a heart that pounds with gratitude for my forever family, faithful friends and a loving Heavenly Father who have given me all these reasons and more for happiness.
