Giving Thanks


I don't have 1 picture from Thanksgiving day. I am terrible I know! We had a great time with the Smith side at my house. We ate great food and had good conversation. The kiddos ran around like crazy just loving being together. I am grateful for this time of year!!


As I sat in church today a nice old couple in front of me introduced themselves to me. I had Elliott on my lap and Ben was in the nursery with Cam. They asked me a few questions about where we came from and what we did for work etc. The cute old man said with tears in his eyes to enjoy every day with your family, enjoy those kids, and love your husband now just like you loved him on your honeymoon. I watched this couple sit hand in hand all through sacrament and could just feel the love they have for each other after 60 years together. I also thought of all the stresses and craziness we have everyday and I realized how much I miss just because I don't take the time to enjoy each moment!! I love my family so much and I want to be able to sit at church after being with Ben for 60 years and love him more then as I do now!! I am a very lucky girl.
