Thanksgiving Break

We made the drive up to Idaho for Thanksgiving. This year we were with my side of the family and it was so much fun. Everyone was there except for my little brother Kevin, who is on a mission in Argentina. Kylee had way too much fun with all of her cousins. We are very happy that my brother's family is moving from Nebraska to Boise so we will be seeing a lot more of them! Now, Randy and I are the odd ones out because we don't live that close (4 hours still isn't bad). Randy and I really like Boise so it will be fun to visit them.

 My brother's new puppy was a huge hit with Kylee. She followed Wilk around everywhere!

Getting together with family is always so nice but my mom spoiled us with too much good food! I thought I was getting in really good shape but I went to the gym yesterday to my usual class and I definitely had way too much pumpkin pie because I could hardly keep up. I brought stuff home to exercise every day but I never even touched my running shoes (sleep and food sounded so much better at the time).  I better start making trips to the gym twice a day before our next trip to Idaho in a couple of weeks! 

Randy and I know that we have a lot to be grateful for but a few blessings that stand out to us this year are:

Family- we are very lucky in that department.

Kylee- Even though Kylee is a very wild child we love her to pieces.Every night Randy and I find that our conversations revolve around Kylee and the funny things she did that day. We love our little girl.

Friends-  both old and new. We have made some lifelong friends since we moved here and I am very grateful for that. Our friends are amazing!

Opportunities in Education- Randy has an amazing professor/boss who has provided Randy with some really amazing opportunities. Randy is just finishing his first semester in graduate school and has already been offered opportunities in Rhode Island, Albuquerque, NM, Ogden, UT and Phoenix, AZ.

Happy Thanksgiving...a few day's late.

* I was very lazy and only got my camera out one day. Enjoy.

Kylee picked this apple off the tree for Wilk. Too cute.
