#22. I am thankful for...

Milk. And for all sorts of reasons.

#1. I was raised on powdered milk. Nice and frothy and... oh, I so savor my milk now! (I still laugh about that time when grandma was babysitting and she had mixed us a batch from the unlabeled "white powder" Tupperware container. Flour and water...yummo... the sad thing is it took us kids a while to even notice the difference...oh, I so savor my milk now!)

#2. I don't have to rise before the sun to make a trip to the barn...just a trip to the grocery store. Amazing. We are so blessed. The only time I've lost sleep over milk... see #3.

#3. Nursing a baby brings on a whole new appreciation for this "white gold."

#4. ..."and 'cause everyone knows...if you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk to go with it."... Milk totally makes that story. And I love that story. Just like milk totally makes a cookie. And I love cookies!

we were raised on powdered milk, too, and I could never understand why my friends complained about having to drink their nice, cold, cow's milk!

Who doesn't love a nice tall glass of icy cold milk?

We Are From...

We are from love. We are from marriage. We are from a baby in a baby carriage. We are from a blind date, a glad we're not blind date. We are from Provo, from Paso, from everywhere in the Middletown. We are from rainy days and Mondays and lots of first day of school days. We are from Winco and Walmart, from super soaking cottage cheese ceilings, from "Flip That House." We are from orange dream machine jambas and a protein boost for him please. From rainbow jell-o, Christmas jell-o, from it's a girl pink jell-o and from it's a boy blue jell-o. We are from yam puffs, veggie puffs, PuPPPs, and someday a puppy. We are from surfboards, snow boards, skateboards, motorized skateboards, wakeboards, ironing boards. We are from we don't know how to be bored. We are from fish in our trunk, from sushi nights out and KFC Christmas eves in. We are from bowling, a lot, from shooting pool and other things. We are from the Bob Jone's Trail, from trail mix, from mix matched socks, from shoes. We are from Donald's words of advice, from serving, from being served. We are from 1st Nephi 3:7, from faith, from family. We are from laughter. We are from love. We are from God.
