- That I made it home safe from my 5:30am commute AGAIN. I'm not gonna lie, it's SOOOOO hard and I literally pray most of the way home for strength to stay awake and alert. And as dead as I am when I hit my bedroom at 6:15am, I have to quickly drop to my knees and once again thank my Heavenly Father for helping me to drive and not fall asleep on the road.
- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a heaven-sent program, seriously.
- Living close to family. I rely on them to watch Drake a lot especially because of our work schedules right now. My mom, Rob's mom, my aunt, my cousins, and my sisters are wonderful and give selflessly to help us with Drake. I just feel overwhelmed with gratitude for our family today.
- On that same note, I'm so thankful that my sister Staci was willing to spend most of her only day off from work tending Drake so that I could sleep from working 2 shifts in a row. That's a big sacrifice. She loves him so much and it shows. She is constantly taking pictures and videos of him, showing him off on Facebook and her blog, calling to talk to him, or coming to visit because she misses him. She talks about him more than I do sometimes. Drake is so lucky to have an aunt like her and he LOVES her! Thanks Stac! You are so great and I don't know what I'd do without you.
- A brief moment tonight when Robert, Drake, and I were all awake and together in our home at the same time. It was short, but it was what I needed after hardly seeing each other this last week.

I just got on and read these last two posts. I'm emotional! What is it about music that has such a powerful influence? I'm so thankful for it.
I'm so thankful, too, that you are able to be safe each day when you drive home. That is not an easy drive even at your most alert.
I love you, Linds. So much. Thanks for your friendship.
If you ever want to bring Drake to Logan with you when you work, I'd be happy to tend him. Love you!
You are blessed and it's awesome that you take time to acknowledge it! Family is so wonderful, aren't they....I don't know what I would do w/out supportive siblings and parents (and aunt's, uncles, cousins, etc.)
Such sweet posts, Lindsay! I relate to your prayers while traveling. I have said so many of them in my adult life and I believe it is the only reason I am still alive! And it is no small wonder that family is central to Heavenly Father's plan for his children. I can't imagine any happiness without mine and that includes extended! Love you, honey!
