Thanksgiving 2013

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with both of our families. We started out the day by watching the parade. All I could think about was how great and fun next Thanksgiving will be when Ben Curtis is here. Life will be different for sure! For lunch, we went to have lunch where Josh's dad is staying for rehabilitation. There were lots of families there, and the food was very good!

After lunch we headed to my mom and dad's house for dinner. Lots of family and lots of yummy food makes for a wonderful time. Before dinner we took some pictures together. I am so thankful for all of our family!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Be Thankful

I hope you have had a wonderful Thursday so far! There are so many things to be thankful for on this beautiful Thursday...

-Family that is always here for Josh and I. His family lives within 5 miles of us, and we love seeing them throughout our weeks. I tutor our nephew twice a week, and it has been a blessing to spend that time with him. It is always amazing to see a little mind learn and start to understand things that you find so simple. He will be going in Kindergarten in a couple weeks, so I have had the privilege of preparing him! Although my family lives and hour away, we still see them often (this coming weekend-woohoo) and I talk to my mom everyday. She is always so encouraging, and she always gives wonderful advice and just talks to me about everyday life. I'm so thankful for them all!

-Friends that I have all around me. I live with my very best friend (aren't I so lucky?). Josh is the best friend I have ever had. He gets me like no one else, and he is the one person that knows 100% everything about me. He loves me for who I am, and he loves me no matter what. I also have wonderful friends that I am able to talk to on a daily basis. I see my friend Caitlin often. We both got married in May, so we love having each other to talk about marriage, cooking, being a wife, etc. We encourage each other, and I love having that bond with her. My new friend, Nicole, is one of the sweetest friends I've ever had. Even though we have never "met" in real life (blog friend), we talk almost everyday and she is someone that will stop and pray for me at any moment. I'm so thankful to have her in my life! Friends are such a precious thing.

-Our jobs are definitely something to be thankful for. Josh and I have been blessed to both have jobs we enjoy (for the most part). Not only do they provide for our needs, but we are at a place where we can do fun things together and go fun places. I'm so thankful for that.

-My Savior who has put my right where I need to be. I am thankful to have the reassurance from him that I know Josh and I are in His will and we are seeking Him together. We are seeking for a church home, and we are seeking for a community to serve in. We are blessed to be where we are, and it is all because of Jesus.

I hope you all take time to reflect on what you should be thankful for today...there are so many things!

I'm headed to clean and get ready for our company this weekend! I can't wait to tell you all about it. Happy Thursday friends!
