A very grateful Thanksgiving.

I'll start off this post by noting the great collage of family photos from the past 2 years. I made this especially for Michael's brother Spencer, who will be back from his mission in about a week. I cant believe its been two years since he left, and I can't believe Guy will be TWO years on December 2nd. Time truly does fly.

We had a very nontraditional Thanksgiving this year. Michael and I have both been battling colds and our energy stores are depleted from the long semester. We spent our thanksgiving morning doing homework, Michael participated in the annual "Turkey Bowl", and we spent hours trying to get our overtired child to sleep. We had a late dinner with my family, played some games, and I even persuaded Michael to go to a late night showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So choice!
A few things I am thankful for this year
--Michael and his Job. He has been working with a great firm the past year, but has now moved on to bigger and better opportunities. The Attorney General's office sought him out for a position in the Litigation Department, he took it, and will start in January. I'm so proud of my brainiac lawyer-to-be husband. He is such a stud, and I love him with every part of being. *note awesome picture of him above.
--My child, Guy. He is AMAZING. He has brought so much joy into our lives, and has made me grow in all aspects of my life. He is our inspiration and our darling.
--Our home. Somedays I get frustrated as I see our friends purchasing new homes, I want that so badly for us. But as we prepared for freezing temperatures and a blizzard this past week, I was so grateful we have a nice, warm, and clean place to sleep at night.
--School. I curse it throughout the year, it brings me to tears, and makes my hair fall out from the intense stress at times. But man, am I grateful for the opportunity to get my degree and to help people in need.
--Our church. Being LDS rocks, seriously. We are blessed to have such guidance in this mess of a world. My sunbeam class drives me nuts at times, but, yeah I'm even grateful for them! :)
--Lastly, but not least. Our family's and friends. We love them, to pieces! They help and support us to no end.

I'm done being all cutsie and sentimental. We both have finals the next few weeks, and then its time for some Holiday fun! I have lots of fun pictures from the fall, I'll update again soon.

Peace
