1. I am grateful that sacrament meeting was so good today. It seemed like it was made special for me. The talks were on repentance, service, and patience, and the musical number was "Lead, Kindly Light."

2. I am grateful that Claire loved the little piece of cinnamon apple pancake that I let her eat. She giggled over how much she liked it.

3. I am grateful Gramma is willing to rearrange her schedule tomorrow so that she can watch Claire so we don't have to have a babysitter.

1. I am grateful for Claire's smiles. They cheer me up like nothing else can.

2. I am grateful for Claire's cries. They motivate me like nothing else can.

3. I am grateful for how much I rocked Claire today. I couldn't always get her to sleep, but I don't regret the time I spent rocking her.

1. I am grateful that I was patient with Claire so,that she could take 3 one hour naps today. I had to rock her for a while, but it was worth it.

2. I am grateful that I vacuumed and sort of cleaned the kitchen. More than I have cleaned it in a few days anyway.

3. I am grateful I went to the relief society activity tonight. It was fun to talk with sisters.

1. I am grateful that we had such a pretty drive through the canyon tonight.

2. I am grateful that right after praying about how I want a part time job that will support us, I found a posting for a part time attorney.

3. I am grateful Nick helped me look for jobs to apply for, even though a lot of the jobs he found I am not really qualified for. I really appreciate that he is being supportive. I did apply for one job that he found.

1. I am grateful that Nick and Claire came to salt lake to visit me at work on Friday. It was good to see them. It was especially good to see how excited Claire was to see me. It's always good to know your baby loves you.

2. I am grateful we got to go to the BYU football game yesterday. It was fun. Claire didn't love how loud it was in the stadium. Maybe she will like it better next year.

3. I am grateful that Claire has been eating baby food better these past few days. I told the pediatrician that some days she eats really well, and some days she won't eat anything, and he said that sounds like a toddler, but not to worry. But I am still glad when she does eat well.

4. I am grateful Nick and I played the X-wing Miniatures game. It is fun, and we haven't played it in a while.

2. I am grateful I got home in time for activity days tonight.

3. I am grateful I have been doing better since my priesthood blessing Monday night.

4. I am grateful the Dodgers won th first round of playoffs.

5. I am grateful I got to watch general conference this past weekend. I look forward to listening to or reading the talks more.

6. I am grateful I pumped so much today so Claire will not have to have as much formula tomorrow.

7. I am grateful Claire held still and smiled cute for her pictures this morning. Usually she is either too wiggly or not smiling so it is hard to get a good shot.

1. I am grateful Claire finally had naps that were longer than a half hour today.

2. I am grateful that I finished my draft of the petition I have been working on.

3. I am grateful we could go to both Nick's and my mission reunions. One was in Bountiful and the other was in Provo, and we made really good time on the freeway. And it was so good to see everyone.

1. I am grateful that I made some progress on the legal memo I have been writing.

1. I am grateful I got to see my sister and her new baby today. I am grateful they are doing better.

2. I am grateful I went to the BYU women's pre-law event tonight. It was a good practice for me to talk to people, even though I felt awkward and got mistaken for an undergraduate student several times. Everyone was nice and wanted to be helpful.

3. I am grateful that Nick really wants to help me with marketing me as a lawyer, even though neither one of us know what we are doing, and that he loves me even when I have a negative attitude about his ideas.

Tuesday, October 1, 2013

1. I am grateful I found new ways to make Claire laugh. I love her laugh.

2. I am grateful we found the stamps. I knew I used them last week to mail my mom's birthday card, but I could not find them tonight, and it was kind of stressing me out. Glad I know exactly where they are now.

3. I am grateful the small claims potential client called me back today so I could tell her what I would charge her. Of course, she hasn't called me back since I quoted her the cost, so I hope I didn't scare her off with a too high price.
1. I am grateful that I got to see a friend from law school before she moved to Texas.

2. I am grateful that I had a conversation with a stranger while waiting for my interview today. Talking with strangers isn't the easiest thing for me, and I want to be better at it, so this was a good experience for me.

3. I am grateful that I've had such a good attitude today. I'm not sure why today was so good, but I hope to keep up the good attitude and make it a habit.
