Help From The Missionaries

We have the best missionaries in our ward! I spent a lot of the day yesterday raking leaves and it was the most perfect day to do yard work. After I was done, the missionaries came over and visited with our family. On their way out the door they told us they would be back in the morning to help us with our leaves. This morning at 9:00 I went out and started raking leaves, it was really cold and the leaves were frozen to the ground. I soon gave up after 45 min. and went in the house. The missionaries came over at ten and started working on our leaves and I went out soon after to help. I'm so very thankful for their help with our leaves! It would have taken me a very long time to get them all cleaned up without their help. Lexie and her friend Jacqueline even came out and help us. I still have a lot more to do, but a big chunk of it is done thanks to our wonderful missionaries.

Our New Dog (Buster)

While we were in Utah Travis asked the kids if we should get a new dog. Travis wanted to get a friend for our dog Benji, since our cat doesn't like playing with him. We went to Bird World in Centerville and found a perfect little dog to bring home. We our new little dog Buster. Buster is a long haired Chihuahua just like our dog Benji. He is so cute and is a great addition to our family.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. My favorite part of Thanksgiving day is sharing with those around the dinner table what I'm Thankful for. This year I was a little sad because I wasn't able to do that. I have so much to be thankful for and I want to share it with those I love. I am so thankful that I was able to spend Thanksgiving in Utah with my family. I'm thankful for my children and for the joy and purpose they bring to my life. I'm thankful for my amazing husband who is my best friend and great example to me. I'm thankful for the gospel and my ward family. I'm thankful for the country I live in and the many freedoms we have. I'm so happy and blessed, I could go on forever in Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for?
