What a fabulous week and weekend!!! I LOVE Thanksgiving!!! I love everything about it!! I love the family, I love the food, and I love the time to share together with friends and family laughing and talking, and being thankful for life!! This Thanksgiving was especially special for so many reasons!! Wyatt and I spent thanksgiving day at my grandparents house in Marshfield, MO. My great Aunt and Uncle and cousins were there, it was so much fun!! My "great aunt" is only 5 years older than my dad so my sister and I always beg her to tell us funny stories about when my dad was younger. They hung out a lot together since they were so close in age! She always tells us hilarious stories of my dad as a kid and a teenager!! Whoo-hoo, hilarious!! :) After lunch my dad and I decided that we wanted to look through the News-Leader to find the BEST sales for the day after thanksgiving so we got in the car to take a quick trip to the closest convienence store! Well little did we know that the only thing that people do in Marshfield on Thanksgiving day is sit around and eat turkey while looking at every single solitary paper that was sold in Marshfiled!! They were ALL GONE!!!! Every single one of them!! We went everywhere in town, every gas station and store that was open (including Wal-Mart,) they were all gone!!! So we ended up going on a mission to find a paper and low and behold we finally found the last 4 papers in Conway!! Yes my dear friends my dad and I drove to Conway to get an everloving paper! :) What was supposed to be a 15 minute trip took an hour and fifteen minutes! It was so fun though, I love spending time with my dad so we had an awesome talk while driving around!!
One thing that I missed this Thanksgiving was everyone going around the room and telling what we were thankful for!! So I am going to tell all of you!! YAY!
I am so thankful for my amazing husband Wyatt. He knows me so well, and still loves me!! He laughs with me and is quiet with me, he is tender and compassionate with me, yet he loves to pick on me. Never could I have imagined marrying someone so entirely wonderful!! Wyatt, I adore you!
I am also thankful for our friends!! You guys are such a blessing to us!! You have helped us grow so much in our relationship and marriage! You have helped us stretch our friendships! You guys have refined us! We are so thankful! We look forward to so many of the adventures we all have ahead of us!! We love you all!
My family is amazing!! God knew that I would need each one of them throughout different times in my life! They are here to love me and laugh with me, to grow with me and stretch me! I love them all so very much!!
Last but not least is Jesus Christ! What an incredible gift!! I am so thankful that I have Him to lean on and to trust when I feel scared or unsure! I feel so happy to know He is there whenever I feel lonely or when I simply cannot talk to anyone else! He is my Savor and King! I feel so blessed to have come to know Him at such a young age!
For all of these things, I am thankful!

Hello Again!
Hello friends!! Sorry that I had to take a few days off from blogging, these past few weeks have been CRAZY!! Thanks for your thoughtful comments! You guys always make me smile!! :)
Wow!! What a fabulous weekend!!! Friday night was a fun evening with my husbando!! We shopped at Sam's to get cool stuff for Caryle's baby shower, then we had dinner at Qdoba! Honestly I do not love their food, but I tried something new (thank you very much) and I loved it. So next time you go to Qdoba, try the chicken gumbo, it is delicious!! :) It was so fun though, Wyatt and I just sat and chatted, like best friends do. We talked about our families and our friends. We talked about work and life, but mostly we just lived life together, slowly and lovingly at Qdoba!! It was so much fun!! Sometimes I forget that we need to continue to date one another even though we are married! I have such a wonderful partner in life! Good times!!
Saturday was a BLAST!!! Wyatt got up super early to go hunting, yes friends I did say hunting. Now most of you would not think that Wyatt is a hunting man, and really he isn't, but his brother-on-law (his sister's husband) has been inviting him for two years. So alas, he gave in and went hunting!! He had a fabulous time! Anyway, I got up and started preparing for Carlye's baby shower!! Saturday was such a beautiful day! People were out and about. You can tell people are getting so excited for Christmas (I am one of them!!:):)) Whoo-hoo!! At 1:00 p.m. Wyatt, Paige, Katie Sinnokrak, and Teresa joined me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH friends for all of your thoughtful help!!! It was such a fun shower and I could NOT have pulled it off without your help!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! So the shower was fun, lot's of good times with Lynette!! Let me give a Shout Out to Caryle's parental units (I am sorry, that is just what I call them.:):)) You guys are so fun, thank for hanging out with us!!! Feel free to move here....I mean come back anytime! :):):)
We hung out with the Ferguson's on Saturday evening which was a BLAST!!! We are SO thankful for you guys!!! Thanks for having us over, your house is so warm and comfortable!!! Paige your scrapbooks warmed my heart, they were beautiful!! Scrapbooking, here we come!!!
Sunday was my sister's birthday!! She is 28!! Yes, I did say 28!! Whoo-hoo!! One thing that I love about being the younger sister, is that she will always be older then me! :) I will always be more mature, but she will always be older!! He he!! She really is a joy in my life and I am so thankful that God blessed me with a sister! We had a great time hanging out with my parental and grandparental units all afternoon!! And THEN we went to our church's Thanksgiving dinner!!! Another good time had by the Jenkins' and our SS class!!!!! The Barber Shop choir was very interesting. They definitely LOVE to sing and they are very good at it also!! We had a fun time listening to them!! It was even more fun to be there with the Ferguson's, the Frederick, (Teresa we missed you!!!), The Sinnokrak's, The Harshman's, The Bryant's and the Marquis and Rima! :)
It is going to be a busy week, but a fun one!! Remember ladies to put December 4th on your calendar for the Ornament exchange!! Christmas is coming...... :) Take care friends!!!!
