Thanks

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!
