Thanks Giving 8-13

It is the 28th!

Do I give you the whole spill about not being behind?

NO! Because we all know I'm behind.

I'm not even going to ask where the heck this month went. I'm not giving up there will be 23 Thanks on this blog by Wednesday night! before I post one Christmas post.

Here we go....

November 8th

I am thankful to have this opportunity to be in school. I love learning and I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment as I near the end. I'm a little older than I thought I would be when I graduated from college but I wouldn't change a thing.

November 9th

I don't know if I have ever mentioned how grateful I am to have a handy husband. He spent an entire day off of work, with no kids, no plans, PAINTING! Yes, my front room is now a beautiful shade of green that I LOVE, due to a very handy not to mention handsome hubby.

November 10th

Laughter! Not to long ago I posted about not remembering the last time I laughed so hard I cried. Well just the other night I laughed so hard I cried. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. I laughed so hard that my sides hurt. All thanks to my wonderful goofy family and my son's desire to have pigs in a blanket for dinner.

November 11th

Family. Yes, I know that is an obvious blessing but that is not the reason why I am grateful. I am grateful that my family makes me a better person. I am thankful that I learn as much from my children as they learn from me. I am grateful that I have their support and their love. Life would be pretty dang lonely without them. Also, I wouldn't be half the person I am today.

Trials. I know who in their right might is thankful for trials? However, I know that my trials have opened my eyes. They have pushed me out of my comfort zone and made life better. It is strange that we need trials to grow but we do. I would like to say I have gotten to the point that I embrace trials but I'm not quite there. I am willing to admit that the glass is not half empty or half full. The glass is all full just half of it is water and half of it air.

November 13th

I am grateful for my oldest monster S. She is an awesome kid and I am so blessed to have her as a daughter. Today, (November 13th) she was awarded her Young Women Medallion. She has worked very hard this year to complete all of the requirements. We even ended up having a race to see who finished the Book of Mormon first. I was in the lead for a long time and then she pulled ahead and finished before me. It was an experience I will always remember.

I have ten more thanks to go. December 1st is just a step away. Our Christmas tree is up. The lights are hung and the crunch of Christmas has began.

I love this crazy time of year.

Happy Cyber Monday Everyone

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
