"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." -Melanie Beattie We spent Thanksgiving night at the Melton's home with the Ingersolls....we had a blast!

I am thankful for my AWESOME husband, who tries to give me everything I want. I love him. I am thankful for our families. I married into the BEST family, and I have the best family ever. We love living within a mile of both of our parents.
I am thankful for the gospel. I am thankful for a house that keeps me warm through the dreadfull, horrid winter. I am thankful for my MY COMFORT bed... oh how I love that thing. I am thankful for cars to drive our butts all over town, even if one of them is a scratched up minivan. I am thankful for our healthy bodies..... Austin and I haven't been sick enough to miss school or work since we have been married (2 whole years!) I am also SO thankfull all of our family members are healthy. I am thankful for my legs that I can enjoy exercise. I am thankful that we have clothes to keep us warm this winter, even if they aren't as stylish or as plentiful as I wish. I am thankful for our Grandparents; they spoil us! I am thankful that Austin and I both have the opportunity to go to school...especially at UV (The best school in Utah....thanks) I am thankful I have my sisters & sister-in-laws cause they are my best friends. I am thankful for cable because my life wouldn't be nearly as good without my TV shows. I am thankful for my little brother because he has a rockin' sense of humor, and he makes me laugh...hard. I am thankful for our flexible jobs during school.
I am thankful for 3 nieces and 1 nephew, who are the cutest kids EVER. I love them! I am thankful for my camera......because I just love it.
I am thankful for all of our friends!

oh Andrea you sweet thing...I guess photos CAN be deceiving...I am, however, starting to get into Bikram Yoga. We'll see how long I can keep that up.
Hey girl!
I just wanted you to know how grateful I am to have you in my life. I love you like a sister. I am so glad we have become close and I look forward to many more memories and long talks together.
Thank you for your love and support this past year. I haven't felt completely myself and have experienced some anxiety and after shock from everything. Having family like you and Aust means more than you will ever know.
I hope you know I am here for you if you ever need anything.
XOXOXOXO

Andrea, I loved your thankful post, thanks for the reminder of the simple joys in life:) Ok, those little turkey rolls are so cute, but how come nothing I makes turns out like that, any advice? Maybe I will try to do some Christmasy ones somehow. I love the cabinets in that kitchen in these photos. What a fun Thanksgiving!
