THANKFUL

Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought that I'd share some pictures of those people that mean the most to me! I'm going to apologize right now, some of these photos are not the best but as I've been looking through my picture folders, I've come to realize I don't have 1 single picture of my entire family - or even individual families so that's going to be something I work on.

I have one of the best familes in the world! We definitely have had our fare share of issues and drama but I love each one of them, they are a HUGE part of my life and I love them all!

Jon! I couldn't ask for a better brother. He is one of my very good friends and we've enjoyed many good times together: Mexico, Colorado, road trips to Seattle, ReAL games, just to name a few.


Jen & Ben
I've learned so much about Jen in the last few years and she is such an amazing example to me. Ben has been a great addition to our family and is always fun to play games with on Sunday nights.


Josh & Nikki

I've had many good times with Josh and Nikki, especially going to visit them as they've traveled around. I will admit Spokane tops my list of memories, with the $30 trip to get candy & sweets, the fire/sprinkler alarms going off at night and waiting outside in single digit weather & the boys with their head bands made from the bottoms of my work out pants!

I've been blessed to have some of the BEST friends.

Kristal, Julia and I have literally been friends for over 20 years.

Kristal is my very best friend in the entire world. I don't know what I would do without her. Even though she's married, with a child, we still try to get together a couple times a month to just hang out, vent about our lives and just be together. She's been there for me through thick and thin and I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

Julia has also been one of those friends that even though she's married (with child) and been living outside of Utah for many years, that when she comes to town and we get together, it's like no time has past at all!

I love my nephews!

Austin is such a goof, he is constantly making me laugh, and I love that I get to see him all the time.


I love Spencer and just can't get enough of him. I can't wait to see him and his little personality grow.




And Keegan. I miss him! All the time!! My first nephew, he will always hold a special place in my heart. This video is from Spokane, so a little old but it makes me laugh everytime I see it.
My parents!

I have the most amazing parents. They love and are such dedicated to their family and are always trying to be there for each of us. They've done so much for me, and our entire family. I am definitely my mother's daughter, I see more and more of myself in her, which one day can drive my nuts but most days, I feel very blessed that she is my mom. My dad is such a hard worker and constantly amazes me with how much he knows- just in general- there isn't anything he can't fix or doesn't know the answer to.





And Lamont. We always have so much fun together, whether we're hiking, playing Boggle (which is our new obsession) or just hanging out.



I hope everyone has many wonderful people and things to be thankful for this year!
