Thanksgiving

Josh and I drove from Sunnyvale, CA to Riverton, UT on Wed. It was 13 hours of fun, fun, fun! We arrived at Mark and Elisa's at 11:45 that night (his sister). They've pretty much let us take over their house since moving in and our kids have loved having cousins to play with (almost exactly the same ages as mine).

My favorite things about the visit, or that I'm THANKFUL for, are:

-Being in functioning home, kitchen, bedrooms, everything works and feels like home.

-Being in UT, I love it here. I love the spirit that is here, I love seeing temples all over the place, I love how nice and friendly everyone is. I love being close to BYU and all the great memories that come from it, including meeting Josh.

-I loved getting a few deals yesterday with Tina. I didn't particularly love the shopping, but it was much more fun than usual since I didn't have to be doing it and didn't have the kids. We both love the choas and excitement that something like Black Friday brings, so she was a good person to be out with.

-Eating lots of good food. Lots and lots, much too lots.

-Being with family. His brother, Ethan, is getting married next week to his lover Danielle (left), so they joined us. Tina, my little marathoner sister is at BYU so she's been staying with us too, soo fun. And Elisa and Mark are the owners of this shabang, on the right. The kids are too little to be seen at their table:). Josh's parents came in last night for Danielle's first time going through the temple, I love a full house.

This is Thanksgiving dinner. Notice the difference between picture #1 and #2?

Okay, I realize that the pics are too small to really notice, but when we looked at these we all agreed the second was better. Then I realized that it was because right before he took the second pic I said, "Posture!"

Q: What are you Thankful for right now?
