Thanksgiving!

Josh and I were able to travel to Connecticut and spend Thanksgiving with his Aunt and Uncle, Mindy and Drew! It is so nice to have some family out on the east coast, it makes us not feel so alone! We were able to go up on Wednesday and buy all the stuff for the feast! We stayed up till 2 in the morning trying to make pies and get some stuff ready so we didn't have as much to do on Thursday. I was so proud of us because we made the whole dinner just Mindy and I! We made homemade pies, stuffing, cranberry sauce, yams, potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, pretty much the works! We make everything with only one oven and it was all very yummy! Drew also made his famous cream roll for dessert, which was delicious! They just had a baby and she is the cutest thing ever! Baby Halle! We had so much fun! We went and saw Yale's campus, because Drew is going to Med School there. We also went to the beach and were able to see the beautiful sights of Connecticut! It was so fun to spend Thanksgiving with family being so far away and get to know them better! We stayed up till like two in the morning every night just visiting and laughing! Sometimes we would get a case of the giggles! :)

With it being Thanksgiving, it has made me reflect on everything that I am so grateful for! First of all is my wonderful husband! I could not ask for more! He is wonderful to me and I am so lucky to have him! I also have the best family and in-laws in the world! They are the best that anyone could ask for and I am so grateful for that! I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ! It blesses our lives so much and I don't know where I would be without it! I am so grateful for the opportunity that we have to go to school and further our education. I am also so thankful for trials in our lives and how it makes us grow and become more like the Savior. Although sometimes when I am going through them, I tend to forget that. I am so lucky! We had a wonderful time in Connecticut, thank you Mindy and Drew for letting us come and stay with you! We had a blast! We love you all and hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

The whole gang!

The oven was packed full!

The boys figuring out how to get the turkey ready! It was pretty funny!

Making Pies!

Josh making a scarf! Ha ha he is going to kill me! This is my new hobby and I know he likes it a lot deep down!

Chemotherapy?!?

Who ever thinks in their life they are actually going to have to have a chemo treatment? I never thought so! But with this crazy molar pregnancy I had, my tissue grew back so I had to go in today and get a shot in both hips of methotrexate, most often used for leukemia and breast cancer etc. I'm not going to lie it kind of freaked me out. And the needle was SO long! So far I haven't had any side effects besides being really tired and hopefully I won't have any and I'll only have to get one treatment. We will see I guess! I will try to keep you all posted on how things turn out.

Making Jam and Football fun!

This weekend Josh had an away game so I went and stayed at my friend Britten's house. On Friday night we made homemade jam! We found a steal on strawberries at the Farmers Market and bought a whole flat of strawberries for 6 dollars! It was cool. It was my first time making jam and it was really fun! Now I know how to do it! Then on Saturday we went to Bethlehem PA and watched Josh's game against Lehigh! It was a really pretty campus. Her kids were so cute! They were dancing and playing and loved watching Josh play football. He only has one more game left WOOT WOOT I am so excited! One season down...one more to go! Here are some pictures of the fun we had!

Family visit!

This weekend Josh's parents Ralph and Heidi were able to come visit us for a quick trip to see Josh play football! (Ralph told me I had to put his name really big and bold so there it is!) It was really fun! We visited and went to dinner and watched Josh play football! They also stocked us up for the winter with food! Thank you so much! :) We always need food! It is always fun when family comes to visit and we love showing them our little town here! Ralph was so funny he was lovin the football game. He was hugging the mascot and running around all over. It was pretty funny! We can't wait to go home for Christmas and visit everyone for a long time.

WoOt WoOt!!

Today Josh's parents bought us plane tickets to come home for Christmas! THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We will be in Utah for TWENTY EIGHT DAYS!!!! I am SO SO excited. So is Josh but mostly he is just for school to be done and football to be done so he can have some time to breathe. I can't wait to go home. And we have already been here for 6 months so we only have 18 more left! Halloween was different this year because Josh had a game in Maine so he was gone. So I was able to go to my friend Britten's house because her husband was working graveyards, and we had some good girl chat and digital scrapbooked! Then on Saturday it was our stake temple day so we went to the Washington DC temple. I was so glad I was able to go even though it was a long day it was definitely worth it. I will never take for granted being so close to temples again!!! It is an ALL DAY trip out here because it takes 3 1/2 hours to get to the temple, and thats if you don't hit any traffic! Josh's parents are coming out this weekend to come to his game! We are very excited to see them! Oh and Congrats to the Lady Cats and my dad for taking State in 2A Volleyball! I wish I could have been there! I am so proud of him! I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
