Thankfulness

Happy (late) Thanksgiving
I hope all of you had a great time on thanksgiving day, enjoying family, friends, or at least a day off!
Justin and I headed over to our friend's Matt and Emily's, for a great dinner, we made a few things, including my first Lemon Meringue Pie (my Momma's recipe, the very best ever)! Justin made some Beautiful Rolls, he was trying to channel our friend's the Howell's in North Carolina, but we don't have their recipe so we just used his mother's recipe.
And of course Justin wanted to dress up, to surprise the kids. Then when I jumped on board and actually made him put lipstick on his face he wasn't quite as excited, but I had fun!
At dinner we mentioned three things that we are thankful for so I will try to do the same in no particular order:
First, I am thankful for my family! My sweet husband is the best ever! Such a fun, caring loving man! I adore my parents, both Justin's and mine! Such wonderful people! Of course all of my brothers and sisters, and their adorable children, life would be empty without you!

Second, That Justin and I were so taken care of in all our recent changes! We never needed for anything and have been blessed immensely, and are happier than we have ever been. I have never had so much fun in my life, as right now staying home. I make a healthy dinner every night and work on project after project and have been dusting off a few of my dream ambitions, (writing a book-who knows when it will get done, I need to give myself a few due dates)

Third, for my Father in Heaven, and the plan that he has for us!
