Man, i have lots of things to be thankful for.. For starters my HUSBAND (Joel) and my BOYS (Brakken and Madden).. Two other people that i wouldn't be the person i am today cuz of there HELP.. My SAVIOR and My Heavenly FATHER!! Today was a blast.. Welllllll KINDA... The MORNING was AWESOME..(we had breakfast and bowled with the Hansen Fam!! Thanks Everyone for the Wonderful time I can't wait for next year!!)
Madden telling uncle Jordan that he needs more syrup for his food!!
Daddy and Maddie
This is us bowling
Then the AFTERNOON was another story..(this 3 or so hours was with my family) I have never been more disrespected by my OWN FAMILY!! My mom's sister (she doesn't even deserve to be called me aunt) totally-flat out said what i BELIEVE is FALSE!!! How dare she say something like that!! I never tell her that what she believes is CRAZY.. And she had to comment on how Joel said the PRAYER!! My SWEET Grandma asked Joel if he could say it and my mom's sister had to comment on what he said and how we shouldn't even say a prayer at family get-togethers.. But to end on a HAPPY note.. We left my PAPA and Grandma's house and headed back to DRAPER for a fam dinner with the Hansen's again.. (wow lots of driving.. Breakfast we drive to Joanna's to eat and that's by Jordan High School, and the Real Stadium, then down to Morgan area for lunch, and up to Draper for dinner and now we are home..) We had a yummy dinner and i got to talking with Afton (Joel's gma) and she told me that being an EXAMPLE is one of the best ways to show people what's right.. and later that night his Uncle Neil told me the same thing.. Thanks you two for the great guidance.. I just feel i have to STAND up to anyone even my fam about the gospel and i know telling someone something doesn't always mean they are listening or even soaking it all in.. But i do learn things the hard way.. Thanks to my thick head..haha
After today i really didn't KNOW the meaning of what Thanksgiving DAY was for.. BUT now i do.. Thanksgiving should be a day to day thing.. NOT just once a year!! I have learned that just getting together and eating is NOT Thanksgiving.. Thanksgiving is a DAY to spend with the people you are THANKFUL for and to have in your life, and to look back on all the things that GOD has blessed us with.. Now i think I'll spend more time MAKING GOOD memories and not crappy ones.. One more thing I'm SOOOOO very Thankful for the GOSPEL, and the love it's brought to my life.. Thank you to those that helped bring it to me..
