The Sundwall's Adventures: June 2009

I was just thinking today about how much in my life I have to be grateful for so I thought I would share my gratitude with YOU!
Some of the many blessings I have that are on my mind today are:

GUY! (I know everyone thinks there husband is the best, but mine really is the best) He is such an amazing man and my best friend. He always knows what I need and supports me so much. He never judges me and just LOVES me unconditionally. It is so nice to have that kind of love in my life.
My marriage- this is a subcategory of the first one, but I am so grateful to have a strong and healthy marriage. We make an awesome team and can get through anything together! Not many of you know but we just survived both of us being unemployed for over a month. We relied on our faith and our savings account and we came out of the trial stronger and smarter. Now Guy has a great job and I might too!
The Gospel of Jesus Christ- I am so grateful that I was born into a family that raised me Christian. My faith gives me such strength ad hope! And I am eternally grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ.
My family!!- My family might not follow the traditional structure but it is because of them I am the woman I am today. I also happen to have awesome in-laws, so I pretty much lucked out in the family department.
Chocolate- enough said
Air Conditioning and Otter Pops- I don't know how I would survive the summer without them!
Our great friends- we have some awesome friends who are practically family and they bring so much fun into our lives!
Our health- something I don't think we should take for granted
A roof over my head and food to eat.
BYU- I get to study what I love and get a spiritual education too. It is such an amazing opportunity
Dexter- the best cat in the world! He brings so much joy into our home!
I am also grateful for: flip-flops, popcorn, ice cream, movies, hot water, THEATRE and any kind of art, Scentsy candle thingys, and washing machines

I was in a bit of a down mood earlier but as I started thinking of all of these things I realized I don't really have a reason to be down. It really helped me out alot and I definitely recommend it if you aren't feeling that great.

For my birthday my family got me a brand new sewing machine (THANKS GUYS!) which was something I have been wanting for a while. Usually sewing machines HATE me and decide to break/get jammed whenever I am using them so I was hoping to overcome that and make some fun stuff with my new machine!
Our first sewing project was Guy's idea, we made really cute plush monsters. We just used old fleece blankets we never use, worn out jeans and old t-shirts for the material and drew a picture of what we wanted them to look like and started cutting! It was so much fun and I think they turned out so cute (Guy's is the purple spotted and mine is the one with the bow). We had a blast making them and now we might be addicted...
