How Can I Not Be Grateful

“So once in every year we throng

Upon a day apart,

To praise the Lord with feast and song

In thankfulness of heart.”

- Arthur Guiterman, The First Thanksgiving

This year I will not attempt to list all of the million things I am grateful for- it would be too long. So I will simply list my top two: My Saviour and my family. The first gave me purpose in life, the second gave me the opportunity to enjoy it.

Here are some pictures of our fantastic day:

Change of Plans...

We are totally bummed, but we are ending up not heading out for Thanksgiving to Utah because of some complications on the homefront. We really are sorry, Jeremy and Hallie- we wanted to meet Cambria so bad!!!! Audra was looking forward to meeting her little cousin and her great-grandpa, but things were not meant to be this year...

But, because we are not going, it gave me some time to blog, and I am totally stealing this from my friend Carrie, but I absolutely LOVED it- I was crying I was laughing so hard!!!! If you are Twilighter, casual Twilighter, or have heard a lot about all they hype, you need to read this:

It is a spoof from the screenplay Twilight, and it is incredibly funny!! (At least I thought it was...)

I saw the movie last weekend (thank you Ann and Beth!!!) and I really liked the movie- in fact, I was surprised at how much I liked it. I don't need to see in a million times or anything, but it was good.

Thanksgiving

We are heading to Utah tomorrow for Thanksgiving- we are very excited, Audra finally gets to meet her Great Grandpa Marriott for the first time! We come back next Monday, and I will post some pictures then. Until then,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

And, remember, next Tuesday, December 2nd at 10AM we will have our let's-get-everything-done-for-Christmas- (or at least attempt to) party at my house!!! Brings the kids and the to-do-activities, and I will provide lunch!!
