Thanksgiving

I feel behind...forgot to post yesterday, even had a post planned out!  So I'll do two tomorrow.  But for today, Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you guys all had a wonderful day filled with food and loved ones.

Darren and I spent today with my family and had a great time.  We had lots of turkey and other yummy foods, then headed over to the park for some annual kickball.  We ended the day with some pie and ice cream.  Now, on to Black Friday Shopping!!!  (or...for most stores, Black Thursday)

Little Seester

(This was Wednesday's post)

In my family, I fall in a hole sort of.  3 years above me is David, and 4 years below me is Sandra.  So I only have one little seester, and she's pretty awesome.  Sandra graduated HS in May and is now at BYU-I, my old stompin grounds!  Anyway, Thanksgiving was yesterday and she came home!
 A few years back during our weekly beach trip, we went to Knotts =)
 Sandra and I go WAAAAAAAAAAAAY back!
 Just hangin around
 While I was up at BYU-I, I made a trip to Boise while my family was there visiting.
In Oceanside, that's why I am so dark.

My little seester is awesome and I love her!  It was fun having her home for Thanksgiving, and she'll be home for good (well, till April) in a few weeks!

Quadding

Or...4 wheeling, your choice.  Either way, we did that!  On Saturday.
It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cold, amazing!
Thanks to Steve for letting us borrow his quads
Thanks to Bishop and Sister Gravley for inviting us!  We had a blast with you guys and the Wiltbanks.  It was a wonderful morning!

Friends

Today, I am grateful for friends.  I have some of the greatest friends out there...and I probably take them for granted.  But right now, I am very grateful for my wonderful friends.

It has been a stressful week for me...there's a lot going on and not much time to do it all in.  Usually it wouldn't bother me, life is generally busy, but now that my doctor put me on this new medicine...I get overwhelmed very easily.  It's pathetic, really.  Marcey, you were RIGHT!   Only it took 3 months to catch up to me! 

Anyway, so I've been a little frazzled and exhausted (my dr refusing to fill my thyroid meds for a few days probably added to the exhaustion).  But me being all frazzled helped me realize what wonderful friends I have :)

A few nights ago I got a text from a friend asking if I was at home.  I wasn't, we were at dinner.  She asked me to stop her house after dinner, so I did.  I get there and what does this FABULOUS friend have?  2 scoops of Water'N'Ice chocolate chip ice cream just for ME (my favorite, she's awesome for remembering that).

Then yesterday evening, another wonderful friend stopped by with a pack of Dr. Pepper and a bag of Twix.  More of my favorites :).  These two friends who have touched my heart this week set a wonderful example as to what it means to be Christlike.  They were thoughtful and loving, they are wonderful and I strive to be a friend like that!

I am grateful that I am blessed with such amazing friends to help me through the stressful days.  I am also grateful for a husband who is patient with a frazzled wife.  He's amazing =)

How awesome are your friends?  Have you thanked them lately?

Dreams

I want to live here
Absolutely amazing, right?!  Chances are I'll be living in AZ for a very long time, and this is where our families are, so I don't really want to move to Colorado.  But I wouldn't hate life if I had to ;)

It's like a dream...
