Things I Love


I Love You
New MySpace 2.0 Layouts




I thought I'd write down a few things I love since this is the month of LOVE. Since Valentine's Day is on the 14th I'll tell y'all at least 14 things I love. This may be hard since there are alot of things I love but I'll try to keep it simple. They are not in any particular order.

1. My family. Not just my immediate family although I love them but my extended family as well. My parents are wonderful. I have great siblings and love my in-laws. Not many get along with their in-laws but I do and I truly do love them. Larry's family is awesome. I always wanted to marry into a family that I could love and who would love me and I did. Not only that but I wanted our families to get along and they do! I'm so blessed with the family I have in my life. Back to my immediate family...I love my husband. He truly tries every day to be better and help me be better. I love that. I love my kids, all of them. I love how they share and serve me and those around them. I love how blessed I am with a loving husband and kids.

2. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't necessarily love the "Church" or Wards I guess but I do love the gospel. I love my Heavenly Father. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I love the teachings of the church and how they bless my life and the life of my family. I love the scriptures and the peace I feel when I read them. I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true gospel/church of Jesus Christ.

3. I love having a warm home to live in and raise my family in. I'm so blessed to have the home in which we live. It's suitable for our needs. It may not meet our wants but it does meet our needs to which I'm so grateful. I love being able to decorate it and clean it, although I hate cleaning it all the time. :) I love knowing I have a home to live in and be warm and comfortable in.

4. I love food and love being able to eat food. There are some in my family who have a hard time eating and it's so hard to see them sick. I'm grateful I can eat and not have a problem. I may murmur that I am overweight or want to lose weight but I do love food and I love eating food. Now to just learn portion control. :) I'm not sure of my favorite food but I love living in America where I can eat whatever I may be craving.

5. I love America. I love living in the United States of America. I love the freedoms which we enjoy. I love the blessings which we enjoy. I love the comforts we have in our country. I love the holidays and peace our country has. I love those who have or who are willing to give their lives for my safety and freedoms.

6. I love warm sunny days. I love rainy cool days. I love the beautiful world outside. I love the sunshine and being able to play outside. I love playing in the rain and snow. I love the outdoors and how it makes my mood happier. I love the beautiful world Heavenly Father created for me.

7. I love snuggling inside my house to a good book or movie. I love being able to relax and unwind after a crazy day. I love movies of all kinds but especially scary movies.

8. I love the smell of cookies, cakes, pies, and breads baking. I love the smell of good good being cooked for me to eat. :) I love the smell of Christmas and Spring. I love the smell of fresh cut grass and clean laundry.

9. I love helping others and receiving help from others. I love service and am grateful for those times I can give it and for those times I receive it. Service keeps me humble which is important for me.

10. I love being pregnant and babies. We may be done with our family but I loved being pregnant and I love seeing my babies grow. I love their excitement for everything, I love how it's all new and wonderful for them. I love their trust and faith. I love how they love and forgive. I love their smiles and how they light up their whole faces. I love my babies and all babies.

11. I love purses! I love wild fun purses and pretty elegant purses. I love big ones and small ones. I have so many and I'm often teased by Larry about how many I have but I love them. They express my moods and personality.

12. I love getting dressed up for things but also love living in my jammies.

13. I love my job and how I can work from home. I'm so blessed with a great company and great people to work for and with. I love working from home so I can see and be around my family. I love my job and helping those who are sick and need help.

14. I love Love. I love how it makes me step out of myself. I love how Love makes you selfless and humble. I love how Love can make you laugh and cry. I love how it melts your heart and lifts you up. Love makes you weak but strong at the same time. I love how you have to work at it sometimes to make it stronger and deeper but how there are times it just happens and seems so easy. I love how Love changes people and hearts. I love how it's a 4 letter word that means so much and yet others seem to treat it like it's nothing. Love is truly what makes the world go round, with it the world is great and without it the world is lost and broken. Let us all take time to truly think about what we love, who we love and why we love.

LOVE...I love it.
