Finally getting to Thanksgiving!

We've been a little busy, so it's nice to finally have a chance to post our Thanksgiving pictures. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! It came and went so quickly, but our Thanksgiving was great! We were so not ready to head back to school and work after having such an awesome Thanksgiving break, but we're already back in the swing of things and looking forward to Christmas break!! (Yes, our lives really do revolve around school.)

D & Miss Abbie hanging out in the truck - the weather was awesome!!
I think one of the highlights of our day was being able to see my awesome cousin, Christopher, ride his tricycle!! He was 1.3 pounds when he was born, and has some difficulties because of it, so it's amazing to see him grow and watch him progress. He's 9 1/2 years old now. These pictures are mostly for my family who weren't able to be there to see him.
Randy runs along behind him to make sure he doesn't run into anything. Christopher likes to watch his feet rather than watch where he's going :)

Our Thankful List '09: We are grateful for...
1. Our Father in Heaven who knows us individually and knows our struggles. He knows what we can handle and what will make us grow. We're so grateful for his perfectly designed Plan and giving us the opportunity to partake of His greatness.

2. Having a supportive spouse to go through all of the happy times and the rough times with. We truly are so bless to have each other. It's an amazing gift to be married to your best friend!

3. The Gospel in general and the power of the Priesthood. D has had the opportunity to use the Priesthood in my behalf several times this year. I am grateful to have a worthy husband, and D is grateful to be able to call on the power of God in times of great need, and times of little need too.

4. Knowledge. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to increase our education at this time in our lives. We know how important education is, and we hope to instill the love of learning in our future children as well.

5. Our circle of support. We have such wonderful family members and amazing friends who love and support us constantly. We are so grateful to have you all in our lives, and hope we can be the examples that we strive to be.

Bonus: Cheese, TimTams, hot chocolate, best friends, and clean water.

I am thankful for such a wonderful friend as you. You are pretty amazing. The Lord puts certain people in our lives for a reason and they are usually answers to our prayers! You are certainly that! Happy day to you and your good lookin hubby! :)
