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!
