Holidaze . . .

I am fighting off the urge to get a Christmas background! (FYI I have been listening to Christmas music since the last week in Oct. and it has really put me in the Holiday spirit!)

November has cooked up to be a busy month for us. Matt took me on a little vaca last Mon-Wed to Vegas. He had meetings and wanted me to come so bad he called my mom and asked her to come stay with the kids so I could go. So grateful for a persistant husband and a loving, devoted mother (I believe Dad had a little something to do with it to0 so thanks DADDY)! It was so nice to get away! Thanks MOM and Matt!!

Last Saturday we had Matt's work Holiday party at Maddox! mmmmmmm. Yea, it was that good!! Never fail, it snowed like mad.

We are in Layton the next few days for Farm Bureau meetings. Saturday we get up bright and early to head to Manti for a sealing (so happy) and have turkey dinner with my family (so excited). Then back to Corny-Town for Sunday meetings and back to Salt Lake on Monday for a backpoke. (Just-in-case you were wondering what I am up to!!)

I am so THANKFUL for this time of year and being surrounded by such wonderful FAMILY and FRIENDS. I am learning to find JOY in the SIMPLE things, counting my BLESSINGS, increasing my FAITH, strengthening my TESTIMONY, and just sitting back and ENJOYing all that I have been BLESSED with.

Today, hold your little one's a little closer and chrerish your friendships, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
