Thankful

Thanksgiving is a week from tomorrow- holy smokes! Where has the time gone? Seriously October went by in a blur. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving! Plans are to sleep in, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in bed, then head over to my grandparent's house to eat glorious food and spend time with the fam! Thomas hasn't met some of my cousins/aunts/uncles yet, so that will be nice to finally introduce him to them. Just wanna talk about some things I'm thankful for :)

My husband. Duh. But really... he rocks. I'm so thankful to be married to him! Cuddling with him in bed, making him dinner, seeing his cute face every morning, going on walks, being silly/weird... and so much more. We have so much fun together.


My family. I have such great siblings and parents on both sides! We love spending time with our families on Sunday. It's definitely something we look forward to.


Our home. We live in a duplex... Thomas' parents are on the other side. They built it on like ten years ago for Thomas' grandparents to live in. After they died, they started renting it out to people. There were four girls living here before we got married, but we kicked them out haha. It is really nice living here! I feel safe and more at home since it is close by my parents... his parents are literally right next to us, etc. I am not a fan of apartments, so I feel super blessed to have been able to live where we do! Rent is cheaper than if we lived somewhere else, it is bigger (vaulted ceilings, 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms) and I just love it. It feels like a house instead of if we lived in an apartment. We go through the side gate and our front door is in the back of the house. We even have a doorbell. Haha I love it.

The gospel. I'm thankful that I belong to the true church and that I get to be married to my husband for eternity!


Friends. In particular, Courtney Cotter, Brian Nielson, and Stephen Moyer! We have so much fun with them! Courtney is like a sister to me and Brian and Stephen are like brothers. They rock.


My job. I am an assistant preschool teacher at a home preschool that is five minutes away from where we live. I love going to work! The kids are adorable and hilarious. Kathy, the teacher, is great to work with. She is an awesome teacher and so fun.

Thomas' job. He's a pool guy! He works for his brother-in-law. His schedule ROCKS. He can work basically whenever he wants. The summer was hard because it was super hot... But it's getting a lot better because of the great weather we're having. He gets home at like 2 at the latest each day. I get to spend lots of time with him :) I love it! I'm thankful that Thomas was able to get this job. It's always nice when family members own businesses.


School. It may be hard sometimes and I basically always have a butt load of homework, but my teachers are great and I have such awesome classmates! I feel like I'm really learning things that will help me a good mom in the future :)


Our bed. And comforter. Both were free! My brother and his wife got a new bed and gave me theirs before Thomas and I got married actually. We saved a lot of money because we didn't have to buy a bed! Oh and it's a king... which is awesome. I love big beds. My mom got me the comforter for Christmas last year. I love it! So pretty.


Dance. It makes me so happy :) Nothing else really to say... I just love it! I'm glad I've been able to do a technique class once a week.


Disneyland. It's the happiest place on Earth! I can't wait to go in January with my whole family! My mom sent a text last night saying that her and my dad are paying for everyone to go and stay 3 nights and get a 2 day park hopper. BEST PRESENT!!! I'm so stoked!!
