Thirty thing I am grateful for, and will write about this month if possible

It's fall time, to be grateful for the leave and thirty other little things
Thirty, I will start with you and work my way down to the number one thing I am grateful for and the one thing I wish to write most about. Let see well I am grateful for time. Time to grow and learn when it moves slow though the night or when it takes forever some night to get my babies to bed or just get them to stay a sleep. I love time for bring change and it's the one thing that is always the same but never the same.


Twenty nine, Age with comes wisdom experiences and well lines and wrinkles and Gray or white hair. An sometime makes part of are body hurt or do thing it never did when we were younger. But I am not scared of age I am scared of not enjoying each age to the fullest. An yes my single collage years were cut short but I am not sad for that really. I just know I want to enjoy what age will bring and not be scared to get old I will be young again one day. Then it will be Forever!!


Twenty eight, Travel, I have travelled to a lot of places in the United State and hope to do more travelling with my family. If I do not ever leave the USA and get to see most it I will be happy it's amazing how each new state is like another country from the way they talk to there manner everything is different.


Twenty seven, Running and working out have become my way to get things out I can't in any other way. Besides that the way you feel when you know you lungs should hold you back and you still run anyway and get to where you are running three miles three days a week ( so want to get there again) and you can do it and you look and feel good because that it's so cool.


Twenty six, Callings in the church. I am a Relief Society teacher  and I love it but sometime I wonder what heavenly father though I had to give. When I feel I am getting so much more then I give this such a cool calling I did it  once before when I was in the single ward but I love it so much now. I am glad that I am glad to be given the chance to do it again. I was going to school to be a teacher so to be one that lold has called is even better.


Twenty five, My house I am so glad I looked in to foreclose with the agent my husband was getting listing with already at the time.  That is how we got this home and to have a home to do whatever I want with and every time I make a payment it goes to paying off date not just in a land lord pocket.


Twenty four, Growing up in a small town and growing up outside of Utah. I love Utah and I am glad that live here now but I would  not be who I am if I didn't go to school where I did. Live in the small town and living in New England were people are so strong about what they know made me want to be sure what I wanted out of life and also to help me know who I was.


Twenty three, The beauty of the world around me. No matter where I have stayed or lived in my life there is always something to look at and wonder in, that is beauty created for me. I love all the season for all the different wonders it hold and that I get to see each day.


Twenty two, Losing my wallet when we moved after losing it twice before once for a year at store in town. Then once at the Las Vegas airport. But when we moved to our new home it was gone. so no more wallet so had to get a new recommend and few other things. Best thing  I EVER lost I  gain so much more.


Twenty one, Hand me down cloths are so wonderful after having Thomas being able to have his older brother clothes put him in, it was great. Same goes for having cloths at all they are pain to fold but to be able to wash them and take care of them in my own home is so wonderful and to have so many at times a pain, but we never go naked that kind of nice.


Twenty, Good books I love to read and I have loved living in Utah to get LDS author that are unbelievably good. But when you have to buy each book and it's in a set of 8 or more for ten dollars a pieces it really stinks. However living here I have read so many great books that if I very move a way from Utah I will have to buy so many, so can share them with my little ones.




Nineteen, The scriptures are the best part of my day. I feel like heavenly father has handed me the personal journal of some the greatest men and some women in the world. From his own life to the Nephites and Joseph Smith. I come to see how much I need to change and work on thing but also how much heavenly father loves me.


Eighteen, New car, not brand new but new to us. My In-laws are selling us there old one for hundred dollars and we will soon have two cars. It need some work but we will have it when Kern takes Bob our other car to work. Plus we still have to name it and I haven't gotten any idea from my children but this will be my car to use whenever such a blessing.




Seventeen, General Conferences Was amazing this year both in April and Oct the things we were told to do and given up lift-meant on were just what I needed. I got to read all the talk from April and set goals plan to do the same with this month Ensign also, can't wait.


Sixteen, 28 of June 2010 Well it was a  week to the due date of our third child. We didn't have a first name for him then, yet. An I had been in the day before thinking it was the real thing. But when it wasn't and woke with same pain I though no this can't be it he would be a week early but sure enough it was. Our little Thomas after the prophet Kern after his daddy got here at 5:30pm wow it was and is one the best days of my life. He was 8 pound and 15 oz 20 1/2 inches.


Fifteen, June 19, 2004 Six year ago So six year go by in a blink and I wouldn't change a thing but to remember to bring our cake knife. Rent a tux for Kern for my bridle pictures and try and will someday make a point to go to the temple each year and do sealing. Something always has come up, so this next year we aren't going to let anything stop us.


Fourteen, Aug 1, 2010 The day  my husband gave our third child a name and a blessing and the hardest thing was there no mic. But he was blessed to follow the priesthood bear before him and to be like his name sake. Both them, and we didn't take enough picture of that weekend but it was a wonderful time to be together with all our family. Not all the Uncles ( my brothers) could be there but they were there in spirit. It was a very special day for me.


Thirteen, Five years old EMMA IS FIVE My little girl is old enough now to let her go to school note that I didn't say send I let her go. I was planing on home school but I felt she need this as well to go and learn from other good teacher then her parents. She has become quit a a little tomboy in a dress is the best way to put it. She so much like me but so her own little person who want to be a part but have her own part. She is so caring helpful and creative. My days moments and year she has been in my life have never been the same.


Twelve, Grand Parents The 12 of Oct is grandparents day and I never felt like I had a grandparent who I enjoyed the most but there were moment growing up and now that will never forget that make me laugh even today. One of them is grandma Dowdle having a fit about something to do with there mission they were going on in Africa. Don't remember the reason only that it was funny to watch a sixty something year act like a two year old. Then there is the love my parent for there grandchildren that is one best things in the world like the gift of a lobster for Emma.


Eleven, Buddy walk My little hero's and I went to show support for families with children who have special needs. It was  a wonderful and we had funny helping others so walking and playing it was great.


Ten, Locks of love I final went in to just get my hair termed, but when they asked what I wanted to do I really wasn't sure. So told the hair stylist of my want to cut my hair and give to lock of love but didn't know if I had enough. So I asked and she said you have 12 and she showed my with her comb how short it would be if I did it. An  I have been growing my hair for our whole marriage I have cut it but not this short ever. So I did, and got a free hair cut.






Nine, Wisdom teeth pulled check falling with baby check, fractured ankle priceless Kern went in for a clean one day, came back needing the rest the wisdom teeth pulled. The first two were pulled when we were first married now he need the other done. Ok no be deal took him over dropped him off got lunch went back. Went home took the Thomas up stairs to change him and well tripped over JJ truck and fell twisted my ankle really bad, I was more worried about the baby who started screaming he was fine me not so much. So before the weekend was over I got a walking cast and we all got to stay home from church together so fun. Unforgettable weekend.


Eight, My Dad 's I say Dad's because there is first and for most my dad who raised me and then my father in law who are both a lot a like in that they are hard workers. I have learned from my dad that you talk with heavenly father every morning and night if have to read something when your going to be spending time in the bathroom the scripture are a good one. An Holiday's are not play days there are work days. My other dad let me know how not to talk to my husband and how if I need anything he is there. The dad who trust me to make it back with my family and his trust well placed shows me I am the most important thing he will ever have in this world and he want me home with honour.




Seven, My Mom's I say Mom's also because my Mom is the one I want to be most like but there is also the way my teacher Lori, showed a to teach in a way I wanted to teach as Mom she was a Mom to me in that moment. There is my Mom laughing at me when she know I did something bad but finding it funny. Teaching me sometimes it better to laugh. There is Edie to teaching me to let my children of have agency but help understand there agency. My Mom showing how to bake and cook and Becky teaching me how to cook some of my husband favourite.




Six, The Holidays like them or not when things go wrong or right I am glad I have them with my family here, Boston or wherever. I would not have some thing best and silly moment with out such holidays but if we could have less drama that would be great. Then again I think it will only prepare me for my own teen drama my children will have at that time with boys girls or life all together. It's only going to be better from here more fun and also more a bout what matter most he true meaning behind the holiday and those I love again testimony and wonderful moments.




Five, The Holy Ghost He brought my husband and together he told us to start our family. He has guided me though school what to do with my little ones when I worry. He is one my best friend and I am so glad that he was given to me as gift at eight I hope only to teach my children better then, I was taught how to use him from start. How to feel him close and why you or anyone would want him as there best friend.




Four,My Boys, I have two boys now JJ and Thomas are my little men there so sweet JJ is the one who loves hair he want to just play with. He was my biggest worry when I cut my hair, don't worry he still plays with it. He smiled from the minute he was born till now. Thomas is my big boy ready to go a week early and looks just like daddy jj a good mix of both Thomas is his daddy double. He loves to talk the minute he started screaming to ever little sound he loves to let you know he is here to be held or listened too.


Three, My Girl Emma is so like me the little girl in dress climbing the tree and getting dirty.She loves her hair long hate doing anything with it. She also is the biggest help with her brother being a little mother to them but also being willing to let them know when they bug her or step out of line. She has here dad mind when come to learning things and she loves to sing.


Two My Husband, Mr. Bowler holds my heart and beyond the lord my trust in way no one has before him. He makes me laugh and stand by me no matter what. He not perfect but his mine and we are sealed in the temple so have heavenly father help in all of thing. Kern has help with my goals and my testimony I love him.






One My Heavenly Father and My Testimony if had to give it all to be with heavenly father, I feel I would do so. Heavenly Father has given me everything I have my family my life and my chance to use my agency to get back to him or not. My testimony is my  way of getting though everything the things the holy ghost has witnessed to me  remind me of where I came from and where I plan to return one day. I hope and pray I never have to choice between family and or something just as dear as the lord. Because it may almost kill me but I will choose the my God.
