THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Ok so I was sitting at home today thinking about thanksgiving, and going over my recipes. I was thinking about what it is I love most about Thanksgiving, and here is what I came up with

1. The satisfaction that comes from preparing a meal from scratch, and getting to smell all the great things you made baking in the oven.
2. Having friends and family over to eat the food you made, and having no real schedule for the day.
3. After having stuffed your self till you can't possibly eat another bite, then taking a nap!
4. Cranberries! Turkey! how often do you really get to have these items (lets face it a turkey sandwich does not count).
5. Tradition, I love traditions! last year was the first year I made our thanksgiving dinner, and this year I am hoping the turkey actually turns out. But I love being able to be at home, and whoever wants to come can.
6. Charlie Brown thanksgiving. We have the holiday collections of Charlie Brown, and I love it when we get to pull it out this time of year. Becca loves them, and they remind me of her.
7. One memory I have growing up, was that early on thanksgiving morning my mom would be up preparing the turkey, and I always wanted to be up in time to help, and she would let me. I loved watching her make everything.
8. Tyler Florence on Food Network! He is pretty much awesome, I am using all of his thanksgiving recipes.

SO now here are a few things I am thankful for

1. My Nathan, and Rebecca I serioulsy love them so much! I don't know how i lived my life before without them honestly.
2. A home to live in, to know that Rebecca has a safe roof over her head, and that nathan is able to go to work to provide money for our family is such a blessing!
3. HEAT! up here in Midway especially it gets so cold, It is so amazing that we can flip a switch that will heat your home up.
4. Being able to stay at home with Becca. I can't stand the thought of not being able to watch over and grow up with her. Thank you again Nathan! I love you
5. Family and friends, I really like to be around you people.
6. Being pregnant again! I know that sounds weird but I hear about so many women lately who can't get pregnant. I think the recent stats on that is about 1 out of every 3 women with have fertility problems. So I feel very blessed.
7. The Gospel, and having the knowledge that I can be with my little fam forever if I endure to the end.

The list goes on and on, but those are the Top few. thanks for reading if you did, and I hope all of you have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Anyone who reads this is tagged :) Love Lauren
