Thankful Thursday

I'm stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it's such a great idea.

Every Thursday I'm going to try and remember to post something I'm thankful for.

1. The first thing I'm thankful for today is my sister, Angie. She lives in West Valley City, Utah, so I don't get to see her very often. I miss her terribly! It's her birthday today, so happy birthday Ang! I just want her to know how amazing she is and how much I love her.

2. I'm so grateful for my mom! Last night she came (with her FoodSaver!) and helped me get some meat ready for the freezer. Then we hung up a giant clock on my wall. I'm so glad she lives so close by and is always there when I need her. For example, about three weeks ago Mike was gone on a boys trip, so I was left home alone. Well Mike calls me about 10 o'clock at night to tell me there might possibly be a creepy guy wandering around Ucon! Naturally, being the wuss that I am, I started freaking out! I called my mom, and she said she would drive out and stay with me! She is the best and I absolutely love her!!!

3. Last night my visiting teachers came. It's so nice to catch up on what's been going on, especially since we have been gone a lot this summer. I have great visiting teachers that try to come every month, and if they can't make it, they call and check up on me. One of them is even subbing my primary class this Sunday, and I am definently gratful for that!

4. I just ate a Twix Peanut Butter and they are amazing! If you haven't tried one, you need to! Especially if you like peanut butter like Mike and I do. I'm so grateful for yummy snacks!

These are just a few of the many things I am thankful for....but there is always next Thursday!!

Wishing we were back on our cruise!!!

Dave's Drive-In

So Monday night for FHE, my family decided they wanted to watch Nim's Island. But watching this movie inside on the couch with everyone cramed didn't sound that appealing. So my brother decided to borrow a projector...

And we watched a movie oustide on my parents garage door! It was tons of fun. All the kids in my parents culd-e-sac decided to join us. Since we had to wait until dark to start the movie, it got a little chilly about halfway through, but we had plenty of blankets. Nim's Island was a pretty good movie for those of you who haven't seen it, although I missed the ending due to being a little sick.

Other than the chilly night, it was way fun. We decided that this should definentlybecome a new tradition. Everyone really enjoyed themselves (even though Mike doesn't look that enthused!)

My nephew, Ethan, waiting for the movie to start.

By the way, I cannot believe that this summer is almost over! It has gone by way too fast! Although, I can't wait for fall and some cooler weather.

One of the best books EVER!

So I just finished Breaking Dawn over the weekend and LOVED IT. Anyone who has not read the "Twilight Saga" has to read them! This one was definently my favorite, although they were all good. Stephenie Meyer is an excellent author. Everyone who has read them, let me know what you think! (Unless you didn't like them, then I don't want to know!) I'm thinking about reading The Host next, so let me know if it's worth my time or not.

Congratulations Court!!!

I had to show off my cousin and congratulate her on getting engaged!!! I've never even met her fiance, Jake, but I'm so excited for her! Probably more excited than I was when I got engaged. (not really!)

The happy couple

Her gorgeous ring!
