Thanksgiving and more

This week has been busy. I don't often write much in my posts {because, lets face it, people want see whats going on, not read it}. But I feel like I may be ungrateful if I don't mention something about Thanksgiving.
I cannot express how grateful I am to my Savior for the sacrifice he made! I would not be in the places I am today without the gift of forgiveness and repentance, and that is amazing. I have a great husband, I have two fantastic boys, who work my nerves, but one day will make up for it I am certain. We have a wonderful home, and Evan is employed. At this stage in our life, we really can't ask for more.

This year we had a couple friends over to celebrate Thanksgiving, it was not the same without family, but it was very close. We have met a few families here that are good friends, wh
ich makes life easier! I didn't take any pictures of the feast (which was delish), but I did finish my console table project to decorate for the occasion.

this is my family wall - you can't really see it, but it is going to have lots of pics of our ancestors! I love it!

our new pride and joy

this is the newest part of our family! aren't you so excited for me! a special shout out goes to my sister Cher and her hubby Cory for keeping it nice for me for three years {they must have known one day it would be passed along to their poor {pun intended} sister} 

so now i need help to fill it, please give me freezer meal ideas... but if the first thought that came to your mind was giving me food... DEAL, no back-sees.
