It was a feast of feasts! (Now, wishing we'd taken more pictures than just this one where it is as if I'm about to eat my weight in Thanksgiving food) But, nonetheless. We had a great day. It was very nice to have our first on our own Thanksgiving, we did a lot of relaxing, and a lot of time spending with the family. It has been really nice to have Sam home for the last few days. We broke out the toys that were so kindly given to us by one of this girls here, and Kaj absolutely loved them!
I am very thankful to be here in Stony Brook at this time in our lives. I am thankful that we are having this chance to grow closer as a family. I am thankful that we are developing different strengths while we are here serving in different callings that can allow us opportunities to serve, and have our testimonies strengthened. I am thankful for the girls in this ward. I am surrounded by some of the most amazing girls I have come to know, their examples of kindness, thoughtfulness, and charity are unmatched. I hope wherever I go I will recall how it felt to be welcomed to such open arms, and strive to always be as inviting to others. I am thankful for Sam, he does so much for our family, and he is constantly adding new perspectives to my life, and I love being able to see things from different angles. I am thankful for Kaj, thankful for the little person that he is. He is so happy, and so energetic about everything. I am thankful to be able to add to the family with another little boy. I'm very excited to meet him.I am thankful for the friendships we have back home, and for their thoughtfulness. I am thankful for family. The love and support is always felt no matter how far away we are from each other. I am thankful for the gospel. Thankful for a loving Heavely Father who loves all of His children, answers prayers, and is aware of our situations. Thankful for Jesus Christ, for his atonement, for His perfect example that we may try harder every day to be more like Him.
Happy Thanksgiving!
