The theme of today's blog hop is ANSWERED PRAYERS, and I definitely have many in my life to be thankful for.  Actually, my entire life is comprised of answered prayers.  First and foremost, I was blessed with being a pretty intelligent woman.

This led me to become the first college graduate in my family and college is where I was lucky enough to meet my future husband, Michael.  He is such a gift to me that I could write the rest of this blog solely on how great our relationship is, but I have four other answered prayers that cannot go unmentioned either.

I can't believe it, but I actually got the whole package.  You know what I'm talking about ladies...the whole picket-fence scenario.  I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful home, an amazing daughter, and even a loving dog...and to top it all off, I even have the last name of CLEAVER too!  :)  (I know what you're thinking, and no, I don't have a son named "The Beaver").

Finally, I even have a patented invention called Toothpaste 2 Go, which we are building our own small business around.  If it takes off half as well as "Bubba Teeth" or the "Shamwow", we could be financially set too!  I don't know what I ever did to deserve any of these answered prayers, but I am thankful every day for my life and I do my best to try and give back to my fellow human beings.  I'd like to think that with the right attitude, I could possibly answer a prayer or two for someone else soon.
