The last time we went to Dairy Queen to get a blizzard it was awful. The line inside was forever long so we went through the drive-through. The person was really nice but made a couple mistakes on our order sizing and then got confused about the coupon we had and tried to charge us double. Then what I ordered was missing half the things that were supposed to be in it, and Thomas' was the completely wrong thing. Next time, I'm just going to Arctic Circle. They are way better anyway.
But we had a real blizzard today- the first one I was aware of. Thomas claims that we had one last year but I don't know how I could have missed it... My car is covered in like 2 feet of snow. I park right across from the park's park... haha... I park my car right across from the mobile home park's little park thing with the swings and all, so I got a lot of blown snow across it. I tried to go out and dig it out earlier today and it was really hard. I got Thomas' car uncovered but mine was more than I was willing to sweat over just then. It was kind of fun I guess. It's sort of unreal to me that I can take a hot shower in a blizzard and be perfectly warm all I want and not have to worry about a thing, just stay inside and all is well. I think of the settlers of this town years and years ago who thought Rexburg would be a swell place to live (they must have gotten here in the summer) who didn't have modern conveniences to endure the long winters with. I am grateful to live in this day where I have so many blessings to make my life easier: refrigerators, dishwashers, breadmakers, crockpots, washing machines, cars, grocery stores, freezers, furnaces, water heaters, indoor plumbing, the INTERNET... the list could go on forever. I am so blessed!
I have a wonderful family who loves me and wants to be with me in the Gospel. I have the most amazing husband anyone could ask for and he is perfect for me in every way. He holds the priesthood in our home and is worthy to go to the temple with me. He gives so much to me and to our family without even questioning, even if he doesn't want to do it. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful ward who loves my family almost as much as I do. I have a beautiful warm home to live in. I have an amazingly comfortable bed to sleep in. My children are fed and warm and happy when they go to bed at night. I don't think I could want for anything more in life- my needs and beyond are met so fantastically.
My Savior loves me and has sacrificed beyond what I can imagine so I can live with my Father again. I have the knowledge of His Plan for His children. I have the privilege and responsibility of raising two of his precious, choice spirits and teaching them about this Plan. Thomas and I get to lead them through life and help them to choose what God would want us to choose. They are so beautiful and wonderful. I cannot imagine my life without them as a part of it forever.
