Post of Thanks

As I’m sitting here in my warm house watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, with the smell of delicious food filling my house, while the snow falls outside filling the air with magic (I hate snow but I have to admit it makes everything look like Narnia)I can’t help but feel  SO blessed.

I have so much to be thankful for that the list would go on and on, so I’ll just list a few here. I really have been so blessed and I am really trying to do better about expressing my thanks all year long.

I’m so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Without it I would be so lost and I wouldn’t be able to feel the joy that I have felt from being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. At work people ask me why I’m so happy and full of energy, and really I feel like a lot of it relates to the gospel and the way I live my life.

I’m SO thankful for the family I have been blessed to be born into, they really are the BEST. They are the best support system and the best examples of unconditional love. I always knew I had a good family I just didn’t know how good until I got married! (funny what marriage teaches you).

Speaking of marriage, I’m so thankful that I married someone who loves me for who I am. Brad and I have so much fun together.  We enjoy doing the simple things together as well as the fun adventures that life throws at us. I am so glad I get to go through life with him by my side. I love this chapter of our life but am also looking forward to when we add our own littles.

Finally I’m so thankful for the opportunity I have to get a college education. There are times I really hate it and get annoyed with how much it costs and how much work I have to put into it but there are so many people who will never get that chance. And honestly I LOVE school.

I hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving, and remember is about more than just a feast of good food! ;)

Goodbye October, Hello November

Can you all believe how fast the month of October came and went? I am still having a hard time believing it's already November! Soon we will be into the New Year! Crazy to think about.

October was a pretty fun month for us. I feel like we squeezed in a lot of fun things when we didn't have to work. We went to a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, carved pumpkins, boo'd some friends, and even dressed up as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider for our ward's trunk or treat. Also, my mom came into town on Halloween and we LOVED having her visit. We had such a fun time chatting that I didn't even get any pictures of her visit (hate it when that happens).

I'm really excited (maybe more like nervous) for our crazy month of November. Hello midterms, working, moving the weekend before Thanksgiving, more than likely working Black Friday, and putting up Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving (because that's how it is supposed to be).

I hope everyone has a fabulous week! I'm just hoping the snow stays away for a little bit longer.
