It seems that I have gone from great blogger to hit and miss. Considering the fact that I have only posted 8 posts this year, verses 61 from last year. I wish I had excuses (of that I have many), but I think it all boils down to priorities.
That said, I have been thinking a great deal about what matters most to me lately. I love my family! I have had to spend time away from them recently and it has made me realize how happy they make me. Sometimes I think it becomes easy to take our family for granted. We get in a daily routine and forget about spending time together. I love spending time with Brandon and the kids. It makes me happy. The more meetings that have come up, the more the time flits away, the more I come to appreciate the time that I have.
The season is upon us to be grateful. Be grateful for the life that we have been given. For the blessing that it is to be together, happy and important in someone's life. I would hate to wake up one morning and realize that it was all gone. I cherish every little blessing that has been sent my way!

Hear!! Hear!! Katy - thank you for sharing this. So SO true.
The things that make us the happiest are always right in front of us and so easy to take for granted.
Hope all is going well for you guys!
I loved this post Katy- this is sooo true.
Nate had some trouble with his job and he just about lost it. Luckily we found a great job, but had to move a couple of weeks ago. We are now in Logan and it's been crazy. I was so wrapped up in having to leave our home in Lehi, I loved it down there and it's our first house. I was reflecting too much on how I would handle this transition of moving again and trying to get to know new people that I didn't realize that Nate is home more now and we get to spend more time together as a family since he is only working one job and not three. This has been a blessing in disguise and now I am seeing that this change had to happen so we could spend more time with each other and so my girls could finally see their Dad. It's also made me cherish the time I have with my parents and sister's because now I am living 2 hours away from them and don't see them that much anymore. So any time I do get to have with them, I don't take it for granted.
Thanks for this sweet post. :) I hope all is well with your family and everyone else in that ward. We still miss it.
