Thanksgiving is coming up fast. It is hard to tell with all of the Christmas stuff around. Thanksgiving is a good time to be with loved ones and taking the time to remember what we are thankful for. It is too bad that we as a society don't take the time to be thankful everyday instead of just one day a year. One of my goals for 2009 is to really reflect on the things I am thankful for EVERY day. I am thankful for this year my friends and my family. We have gone through quite a bit but the thing is that together we got through it all. We are still here for each other even though there may be physical miles between us, that will never change how close we are in heart.
Looks like we are going to be spending our Thanksgiving with Lisa, Buster, Eli, Kavon, Shilo, John, Mom, and Papa. It is going to be different without the other family members around, but we will focus on the things we are thankful for. I will make sure to take lots of pictures.

Today was funny. We were at Fred Meyer and I went to turn down the soup isle and couldn't go because there was a family blocking the way. That family was my orthodontist and his family. Rather funny seeing him outside of the office where I normally see him. Only in a small town can something like that happen. That is one of the perks of living in a small town, when you run into someone you know they say hi. I don't know of anyone running into their doctor in a big city and their doctor will stop and say hi and talk to them like they are long lost friends.

Oh I was asked to give a talk in church on the 30th on Obedience. I will be spending this whole next week studying and praying on the subject and see where God will lead me on that talk. I will guarantee one thing, that talk will not be from me, it will be from Heavenly Father.
