4th week of Thanks

#22-For an awesome snow storm to really bring in the holidays and getting Chad sent home from work early that day.  Was nice to have him home at 3pm instead.
#23-For my Mom and Dad, who came the night before Thanksgiving and stayed til the day after.  They helped us get our house put together for the festivities the next day.  Mom shoveled our driveway, which is no small feet.  We can fit 6 cars on our driveway if needed, so that gives you an idea of how big.
#24- For family who travels our way, since Chad was going to be on call for Thanksgiving.
#25-For a husband and dad that did all the prep work of setting up tables while my mom and I were busy in the kitchen Thanksgiving morning. And then having a husband that cleans up the house after most everyone was gone.
#26-To have a temple so close and to finally get back there.  We had the opportunity to go through the temple with Chad's niece Shandarae, who is going on a mission next month.  I was able to reflect on my own endowment, and the greatest of that day.  How things change and how it becomes such a place of refuge and revelation!!  So glad to have it less than an hour away. Just need to make it a priority to get there more often.
#27-For more family, Chad and I had the opportunity to and visit all but one (and we talked to them on the phone) of his siblings and at least part of their kids over this weekend.  It was good to visit them all and catch up.  We get caught up with the day to day life and don't get to visit as often as we'd like.
#28-For a 4 wheel drive vehicle.  With all the snow that we've been receiving it's been a lifesaver in letting us accomplish all the visits we made this weekend. Not only does it get us to point A to B, but entertains Kherrington and makes traveling so much easier!!
#29-Warm home!! Not only did it accommodate most of my family for Thanksgiving, but it keeps us warm and very comfortable and has lots of space for all our stuff.
#30-Great jobs, Not only does Chad have a steady job, but I am able to work as needed as for 2 hospitals, Pullman from home on occasion and then EIRMC 2 times a month.  I love it.  Not only that, but I'm getting my vinyl business up and running and am loving the great excuse to be creative again!! Now to just keep up with it all.
