A time to give Thanks


Remember this song?

I was listening to music one day when I heard a familiar as well as an annoying yet catchy song on google play music. I took a screen shot so you would believe me. Yes, the song that started off as a joke, but than became a huge hit for a while. "What does the fox say?" played last week! The song brought back good memories. This song came out when Nate and I were dating, at that time Nate was my home teacher. Nate and his companion came over to teach our apartment one evening. Nate's companion introduced us to the song by singing it to us. We all had a good laugh, then we saw the video and we laughed even more. It was more funny watching Nate's companion laugh at the video than it was to watch the actual video. Although this song can be annoying, it brings good and fun memories to me. 



THANKSGIVING DAY

Nate was chosen to carve the Turkey. I believe his dad said something along the lines of
 "You have a family to care for now, you need to learn how to carve a turkey" Nate was excited and nervous because he has never carved a turkey before. Let's see how he did...
I don't think Nate missed a piece of meat.
Nate has been and will be a great provider.



 EYELASH EXTENSIONS


       This is my Thanks shout out to my Mother in-law Julie Hancock. She gave me birthday money to spend it on whatever I wanted. However, the deal was I had to spend the money on myself, no one else. I couldn't use the money for a date or a hotel get away, it had to be just for me. In return  I must tell Julie what I spent the money on. 
        As we all know this past Friday was Black Friday. I wasn't planning on shopping, but I really wanted eyelash extensions and I didn't have anything going on Friday. I scheduled an appointment and now I have eyelash extensions! They were 30% off because it was Black Friday. So far they are great, I don't need to put on mascara, I hardly have to use any makeup. I can get up and go without any worry.So far I love them, and Nate LOVES them too. My eyelashes were the first thing he noticed when he came home from work! I'm thankful to have such an attentive husband. 


THANKFUL FOR THE CLOUDS

Ever since my mission I have loved clouds. They have a unique way of bringing happiness in my life. I was walking home from the gym the other day and saw this cloud formation. I found it fascinating and beautiful. I am thankful for the beauty the earth brings. I love how you can find beauty anywhere in nature. 


I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, however it was spent. May we always be thankful for what we are given.

Birthday SURPRISE!!!!!!!

Image
Yes, it's true, my birthday is on Star Wars day, may the 4th (force) be with you. However, that is not the surprise I received. Monday evening I went to bed with cramps. Tuesday morning (3am) the vomiting started. Tuesday mid morning I couldn't keep anything in my stomach and my cramps were continually getting worse.  Nate came home for lunch and I told him I would like to go to the hospital. Once we arrived we discovered that I had appendicitis. What I thought was serious constipation ended up being Appendicitis. Orem Community send me to Utah Valley to get an MRI to confirm their findings. It was indeed true. Tuesday night I went into surgery and had my appendix removed. Afterwards the doctor spoke with Nate (because I was too incoherent from the drugs) and told him that my appendix was on the verge of bursting. I am grateful I got in the hospital when I did.   My sweet nurses put together and card and a candy basket for me. I love the balloon, so clever!  ...

Season with Family

BRAD'S BIRTHDAY PARTY! After having the famous Chip beef on Toast (Brad's FAVORITE meal), we all went bowling at BYU!!!  (heads up, they close 2 hours early during finals week) How do I know that you ask? Well my sister Cyndi, Mrs prepared, phoned and asked what time BYU bowling closed on Tuesday 19th Dec, she was told 10pm.  Thinking we had plenty of time to bowl, we arrive at 7:35pm. As we approach we see the lanes are empty and employees are cleaning up. One of Haley's friends (Brad's girlfriend) said they close at 8!!!  But that we could bowl for free the last 20 minutes. He gave us lanes 3-8 to use!!! We all spread out and were able to bowl at least half a game. Even though we were misinformed it ended up being a tender mercy!  Mom's bowling stance.  Ben and Sam trying to lift their ball! haha HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET ETHAN Ethan is officially 1 years old. For his birthday he slept in (very unusal) until 9:20. He pro...
