counting my many blessings...

I don't really know how to start this post. I've just felt extra blessed the last few weeks and wanted to share why I feel this way. Mckay and I were talking the other night about all of the things we are so blessed with. I told him that I really don't understand why we are because were not perfect people.  It may come off a little weird, but we haven't ever really had to go through anything that hard, I mean we have it pretty easy. Then there are the people who we see that in our eyes are perfect, people who we feel are better then us, but who go through such hard hard things in their lives who don't have all the things we have.  McKay and I are blessed to have each other, We haven't lost many loved ones, were healthy, we have a perfect little baby girl,  we have a home, we have all the things we need, and its all we need to make us happy. We've been so blessed to have each other return home safe every night, and to be able to spend time together on this earth. I just think about how short this life is and that anything can happen and one of us could be gone. And I thank Heavenly Father that we been blessed with these bodies and with this earthly life that seems like so much time, but is in reality so fragile. Sadly I've been thinking about death a lot, don't know why but, I'm so comforted to know that it doesn't ever end. We don't suddenly not exist after our bodies go in the ground, It goes on forever.  McKay and I have been blessed with jobs and the money we need to provide for each other, and to play and do the things that we want. McKay and I are blessed to have been married in the temple, and to really understand what that means. Forever. I know right now so many people I knew from high school or other friends or friends of friends who are going through divorces. Very sad situations with their spouses, who just decide that they don't want to be married anymore. Who just decide that marriage isn't what they thought it was going to be, and just decide to walk away. They leave the person so broken hearted in a way that just cant be understood.  I'm blessed to have an amazing marriage that to me is perfect. I have a husband who honors his priesthood, who wants to take care of me and do the best that he can in this life to be able to do that.  We both have amazing families who love and support us in every way they can. And friends. We love our friends.  Then there is this little one. I had a lot of worries with the pregnancy that something was going to be wrong with her. It was hard to hear that the ultra sounds were a little less that perfect, but felt so blessed when she came out a perfect baby girl. We couldn't be a happier family :)
