November: The season to be thankful!

Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven.-President Thomas S. Monson 

I love having a season that let's us count our many blessings. Ryan & I have so much to be thankful for! We started a new tradition and wrote on a tree what we were thankful for. I want & hope to keep this tradition going each year.

Also this month we had a fun double date with our friends Dustin & Matasha Johnson. They were able to find jazz tickets on the floor level: row 8 for a really good deal! We had a blast! It's always a good time getting with them. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and then to the game. The Jazz played the Bulls and lucky won by 3 points going into overtime. 





Thanksgiving Day 2013

This year for thanksgiving we were on my side of the family. We went to my grandpa and grandma Bosshardts house. As usual we ate to much to the point I felt like I couldn't move or breathe haha! It's the one day out of the year you have a good excuse to eat as much as you can. After stuffing our faces we sat around that talked and that night we went to Catching Fire (Hunger Games).  I always enjoy getting with family and are so blessed to have family that lives close to us.


Closing this blog post I have to leave you with the wonderful stove that Ryan has perfected this month. Needless to say I'm very lucky to have such a handy man if the Apocalypse comes.  This stove makes the hottest and a perfect cup of hot coco! We haven't adventured out to cooking anything else on it but I'm interested in seeing how it does. It may look small but it heat up like a CHAMP! 

I wish the season to be thankful went on a little longer and Christmas didn't start until December. We all have so many blessing that we often forget each and every day. I hope that during the new coming year we can all  keep gratitude into our hearts. It's not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy:)
