November happenings....

Where has this month gone?! It's flown by & I can't believe it's only 1 month until Christmas. For me this month has been all about ME...ME...ME:) The first part of November I went with Josh's mom, his sister, his two aunts, & one of his cousins to a Timeout for Women seminar in St. George. It was amazing! It was totally a mini EFY for women. I left there wanting to be a better mom, wife & person. It motivated me to take EVERY chance I have to teach my children about gospel principles. I loved it & I highly recommend it to all women...we all need a "timeout" every now & then don't we:)

The following weekend Josh "surprised" me with an airline ticket to Phoenix to see friends & to stay with Heather for the weekend. I was so excited! I flew down on Friday & had a wonderful dinner at Sauce with Heather, Kae Lynn, Mary, Shannon, Joanna, Kamie, Anna, Samantha, Danae, Justalyn, & Alexis. Thanks girls for making it so special!! On Saturday I did a couple of hair cuts, went to Zach's soccer game, ate lunch @ Gecko Grill, went shopping, & had dinner with Heather, Kae Lynn & Mary. I stayed up later those two nights than I have in a LONG time (thus the red eyes in the pic:). It was so wonderful to spend time with these girls. Heather & Kae Lynn both have had babies & it was so great to see there little ones. It was such a great time & I know that it was a crazy weekend for Heather & I hope she knows how much I TRULY APPRECIATE HER!!! The only picture I got that weekend is of me holding Heather's baby:( I guess we were too busy having fun!

The next exciting event was the release of NEW MOON!! There were 20 of us that went to the midnight showing. Jenn hosted a New Moon party at her house before the movie & we had a blast hanging out, eating some good food, & wearing our vampire teeth:)

Here we are with Thanksgiving tomorrow & I have SO much to be thankful for! This month has been all about spending time with family & friends & I have LOVED it! I'm so thankful to have a husband who loves me & will put up with me:) He's such a great husband & father. I'm so thankful for my three beautiful kids who motivate me to be a better mom everyday. I'm thankful for my parents & siblings. I love that we're in Utah & that we get to spend more time with each other. I'm thankful for Josh's family. They are always so willing to support & love us. I love that my boys say their best friends are their "uncles"! I'm thankful for wonderful friends who love me & understand me. I'm thankful for Jesus Christ. I'm thankful for his sacrifice & that he made it possible for us to have eternal families. The list could go on & on....aren't we thankful for Thanksgiving?!
