Thanksgiving 2013

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed in Pullman. The 4th year vet students had to choose if they wanted Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years off. We chose Christmas, so in just a little less than a month we get to go home to see our families. It was the first time that I had ever not been home for Thanksgiving, but it was still great. We are so thankful to our friends the Kings who had us over for dinner. They prepared a yummy feast. It was also fun to meet Josie's parents and little sister. We had five different pies to choose from. I made apple, pecan, and rhubarb pie. Josie made banana cream and pumpkin. Pretty much all of us had a little piece of all of them. They were all delicious. I was excited my pecan pie turned out. It was the first time I had ever made one. I was the worst at taking pictures today, but I got a couple.
I am so thankful to the Heavenly Father for giving me so many things to be thankful for. My family is my pride and joy. I am so thankful that we are able to be sealed as a family for all time and eternity. I am so thankful for the our church leaders who love and guide us. I am thankful for my Savior who sacrificed his life for all of our sins, so that someday we can be together forever as families. I am so thankful for my children, and how much they teach me. Chloe, I am thankful for her happiness, and sweet smile that makes my day everyday. Ian, I am thankful for my sweet boy. Although he cannot tell me he loves me, he shows it. He works so hard at his therapy, and is the smartest little boy. He is so strong, and teaches us what is really important in life. Matthew, I am so thankful for how hard he works. He has been going to school for so long to provide for our family. He is so smart, and goes far and beyond to become the best he can be. He has such a strong testimony and he helps me become a better person.  I have so much to be thankful for this year.
