Socks!

I knit those socks.  Yep.  All by myself and everything.  I love the colors, and I'm so happy I am finally finished!
One small problem: they are a perfect fit for Hyrum.  So I'm trying to be happy that they fit somebody in my family, even though those feet are not mine.

Gratitude List:
* snowblowers
* Jared is home < 3
* Freshly baked cookies
* yummy leftovers for lunch
* Walker is practicing his tuba upstairs.
* I have a lot of sock yarn now.
* Also, enough yarn of one color to knit a sweater for (hopefully) me!
* My kitchen is mostly clean
* Dinner is in the crockpot (shredded BBQ elk)
* Laundry is folded and put away
* House is warm
* Family is healthy
* God is good

Happy times

Random happy things:

* Jared was home for Valentine's Day this year.  I think that makes 4 times in our 15 years of marriage.  :)
* My in-laws are looking at houses near us.  I'm pretty excited about that.
* I went shopping for yarn with friends today.  I laughed so hard in the car I almost couldn't see the lines on the road!  Plus I have lots of beautiful new yarn.  (pretty sure yarn fumes make me high)
* More snow at the house, and more shoveling, and hot cocoa afterwards.
* Everyone is healthy.
* Kids are reasonably happy.
* We have plenty of food to eat.
* Jared is home for the rest of February!
* I unpacked another box.
* Walker went camping with the scouts, in the snow, and had a wonderful time.  He's sacked out on the couch now.
* Jared's making dinner tonight :)
