I was thinking of the things I wanted as a child for Christmas while I was wrapping my last few presents tonight. I was laughing at some of the stuff I was remembering... everything from a pogo stick to speed skates, Popples, Debbie Gibson cassettes and Electric Youth perfume, a curling iron that would magically curl my bangs the 'right' way- not the kinked way(Lynette, you know where I'm going with this), my own set of skiis, and the list went on of course! So just for the heck of it, I've updated a few things. I'm finding I've must have been a good girl! ;)
1) A powerful and loving marriage (check)
2) Healthy, happy, giggly little girls (check)
3) A warm, cozy home of our own (check)
4) A dependable vehicle to drive (check)
5) An amazing set of parents, both sides (check)
6) Loyal, truly wonderful friends (check)
7) A sister, please!!! (in laws count ;) Julie, Cam, and Apryl (check) Step-sisters Jasmine and Julianna (check, check)
8) An iPod- to not think about things sometimes (check) I need music.
9) A plowed driveway- hallelujah! (check)
10) A job that I honestly enjoy, most days ;) (check)
11) A study bible to read the Word, and understand it! (check)
12) A church where we feel is the best fit for our family (check)
13) My own kitchen to cook in! (check)
14) A friend that I can call any hour of the night if I needed to (check)
15) A friend who tells it like it is! (check)
16) A friend to share a bottle of wine and dance with (check)
17) A husband that helps around the house (check)
18) A truly devoted father to my children (check)
19) Making Christ the center of my home (check)
20) Brothers to remind me that life is a journey ;) (check)
21) Blogger and a computer to let it out! (check)
Whew. I could go on, but really I think my list is complete for now! This time of year is truly about remembering our Savior's birth and recognizing what it is we are here to do. Love up your husband and kids, spend time with loved ones, and cherish those unforgettable, irreplaceable moments.
Merry Christmas!

OK, I forgot that you changed your address and my blog never showed you updated... remembered now though (check). Great list, it's amazing to be able to see how truly blessed we all are (even if there are potatoes covering my oven right now...)! ;)
I was wondering how I missed your last posts- it was Lynette's fault I now see. :-) Great list- makes me want to make one of my own! You seem truly blessed!
I'm really stumped though on who the friend must be that tells it like it is. Hmmmm.... I wonder. ;-)
Love your list... our God is good and we are very blessed!!!!
