We were super sick last Thanksgiving, so this year was ten billion times better because we were actually feeling great!
My sister Sarah came to visit us again this year. The kids just lapped up all the loving attention that she gave them. I made some really yummy food. I tried a new recipe that was a homemade (completely from scratch) green bean casserole that I really enjoyed.
Sadie loved eating all the food as well. I took a few pics but they're mostly on my instagram, so I don't want to post them on here also, cause I'm kind of lazy.
Things have been pretty norm lately. I've tried to think of something everyday that I am grateful for, and I thought that I would put it here.
Thirty things that I am thankful for:
1) Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ and a very loving Heavenly Father
2) The temple
3) My family, near and far. Especially Rick and my three babies.
4) The Book of Mormon
5) Latter-day prophets and their wise, timeless counsel
6) Personal revelation
7) My body...it can do so much, even when it's not in the best shape.
8) My focused and clear mind
9) Food--We are able to feed our family. That's important, right?
10) Food and family storage (especially Thrive Life that I am getting addicted to!)
11) Air Force--great benefits, and Rick's job provides for all our needs and a little extra.
12) Modern day medicine--antibiotics, vaccinations, epidurals, etc. I'm all for home remedies when they can be used, but I really love myself some of the good stuff
13) Our current home. We're renting,which I really don't love, but we have a roof over our head.
14) My current ward, especially all the amazing people I work with in my calling.
15) Volleyball!
16) Education--grateful that I had a great education and I learned how to work hard.
17) My sewing machine. It's so lovely.
18) Books, books, books
19) Internet, so that I can keep in touch with friends and family a lot easier.
20) Clothing
21) Indoor heating in Ohio
22) The beach
23) Disneyland
24) Disposable diapers
25) Indoor, running plumbing
26) Running shoes
27) Two running cars
28) Evan's preschool and teachers
29) Date nights with Rick (they are starting to become more regular!...)
30) Winter clothes and accessories
