Debra #134 - #162

#134. I am grateful for how Darrin has been more patient with me this summer.

#135.  I am grateful for the cool and enjoyable sleep that I had on Holli's couch on Sunday night.

#136.  I am grateful for the Holbrook ward that paid for our transmission to be repaired when I was pregnant with Emily along time ago.  Dad just told me about that today in the pool. 

#137.  I am grateful for Justin's beautiful blue eyes.  

#138.   I am grateful for Brenley and Chelsea and how we hung out together yesterday on Brenley's bed for a few hours.  It was relaxing.

#139.  I am grateful for the fact that I don't have to get my teeth cleaned until January. That was so painful  and it wasn't very fun getting reprimanded by the dentist either.  

#140.  Thank you Darrin for putting the water pick up in the shower.

#141.  I am grateful to go on a small vacation in California.  I am looking forward to it.

#142.  I am very grateful that Holli is feeling better.  It looks like she just needed rest and relaxation, a pool, and to hang out with her sisters.  I don't know about the Sushi though.

#143.  I am grateful that Brenley took Noni to get her notepads.

#144.  I am grateful that Chelsea is a peacemaker in the family.

#145.  I am grateful that our air conditioning in our car doesn't have to be fixed after all.

#146.  I am grateful for the new project that I have started and for the scriptures and what they teach.

#147.  I am grateful that Tyler emailed Dad about the fact that he was excited that we are coming to visit.  And that we get to play softball again.

#148.  I am grateful that we remembered to turn the library books back in before the deadline.

#149.  I am grateful that Lexi went with me to the gym last night.

#150.  I am grateful that we paid off the dog hospital bill.  

#151.  I am grateful that we paid off half of the couch.

#152.  I am grateful that my prayers are heard.  Last night I prayed that Holli wold have a good day and feel better.

#153.  I am grateful for herbalife shakes.  I did not realize how great that they make me feel until I had to go without them for a couple of days.

#154.  I am thankful that Emily was able to calm down today and soften her heart.

#155.  I am grateful for the men that are working so hard on the backyard when it is so hot outside.

#156.  I am grateful that Brenley and Eric are adopting and I pray that it will be a positive experience for them.

#157.  I am grateful that I got to see Stacie and Landon and Heather on FaceTime the other day.  The Huish family is very busy,  but so adorable.

#158.  I am grateful for family hugs that can soften hearts and make people feel better.

#159.  I am thankful for the times that the family can watch fun tv shows together.

#160.  I am thankful for the fact that there is life after death so that the families of all of those firefighters that died in Prescott will see their loved ones again.

#161.  I am thankful for the time in July that we have to celebrate our country's freedoms and for all of the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives so that I could do so.  I have been thinking a lot about how brave  and honorable our military people are.  I don't think that I have shown or felt enough gratitude for them.

#162.  I am thankful for the National Anthem and for those times in my life that it was sung so well that it allowed me to envision the actual scene in my mind.  I watched a YouTube of President Bush's face as he stood behind somebody performing the National Anthem during a special program.  It was such a powerful song that it touched his heart.
