16. Down time. I took a little time to myself to catch up on some favorite TV shows and it really helped me relax. I then spent the next 5 hours on my feet cooking and cleaning up dinner, bathing girls, doing laundry, and such, but the hour I had to myself was wonderful!
17. Promptings. I'm grateful when I receive a prompting from the Holy Ghost, recognize it as such, and follow it. It truly is an amazing blessing. I heard once that if you followed every prompting and was close enough with the Lord you would never make a mistake. How amazing would that be???
18. Dates. Not the fruit variety. Jarom and I spent the evening out celebrating our 7th anniversary (a night early). We saw Breaking Dawn (not so great) and then had an incredible dinner at Conner's steak house. I am so grateful that after seven years I still look forward to date nights and time with my sweetie. I still look forward to him arriving home each day and I'm grateful for the love that we have. We are far from perfect but perfect for each other. He is my rock.
19. Birthdays. We are having Addie's 4th birthday party today due to next weekend being a holiday and the following weekend a vacay and then celebrate Scott's 22nd birthday tonight. Addie is having her party at Bananas. They are dressing each kid in a prince/princess costume, doing their hair/makeup/face paint, then they have a crowning ceremony, royal "tea" party, a royal ball, pizza party, cupcakes, and then making pucker powders (Pixie sticks). Addie is thrilled, I'm thrilled to not have to do cleanup. I love birthdays because they are such a special perfect time to show extra love for those you love and remember them and what makes them so special to you. Seeing Addie's excitement growing has been priceless.

I love date nights too. Shawn and I are quite good/regular with them now that the kids are older, it was so much tougher when they were little. Good for you guys for making time for each other. Bravo!
What?!? You didn't like Breaking Dawn? Ugh, I loved it and thought it was too short :( probably because it was my favorite book. glad you had a anniversay date :)
I really liked Breaking Dawn too!! I thought it was the best so far. I am glad y'all had a good date night though. John & I don't get them nearly enough. :) I am thankful for promptings too and I am always blessed for following them.
