I Like.....

Life in our home has been less than heavenly. We have been at each other's throats and really for no other reason than that we are getting tired of the snow and cold weather and we are all quite anxious to have Mr. Jewels finish his PhD project and get a job.  Every thing we seem to do is annoying to at least one other person in the family and everyone hears about it.  So we decided to make a little change.  Every night before family prayer each of us has to say one thing they like about every other member of the family.  We have been doing this for about two weeks now and it is going pretty well.  We are getting along better and even enjoy each other's company every once in awhile.  It only took a few nights for us to get Sam to say "I like when Jon..." instead of "I don't like it when Jon..."  I like it when little changes make a big difference.

You truly are the best mom ever. And I am not being snarky or rude. You are amazing, funny, kind and generous. It is good to know that you aren't perfect. I love you even more.
