Thanksgiving Memories

When I was growing up, Thanksgiving was always a big tradition in our family. Everyone on my mom's side of the family would gather at my grandma's house in Paris, Idaho where we would have a HUGE feast, exchange Christmas gifts, and visit with one another. It was always nice to have everyone together for the holidays. The tradition slowly faded away as some families moved and others grew in size, but it will always be one of my best memories.

This year I had to work Thanksgiving, which wasn't fun, but I am grateful for my job and the way it supports Kelly and I in our newly married lives. After work, Kelly and I went over to his parents' house for dinner and games. We had so much fun spending time together and laughing!

On Friday, we spent some time with my family watching the Jazz beat the Lakers! It was an awesome game! I am so grateful for family and for my loving husband who works so hard, takes care of me, and who I love so very much.

A little about us

Kelly and I were married on May 16, 2009. We now live in Layton, Utah where we both work. Kelly has been interested in woodworking since Jr. High and has gotten really good at it since then. He now works at a cabinet shop, however, he enjoys making anything and everything aside from his work. He has built hope chests, coffee tables, photo frames, dressers, nightstands, bookcases, kitchen tables, headboards... you name it, he can make it!

Here are a few things he has built...

As you can see he is very creative and talented and he definitely makes his work look good!

As for me.... I work at Walgreens and have been with the company for five years. It's not exactly what I saw myself doing, but I enjoy it and am learning a lot. Aside from work, I enjoy photography and taking pictures with our Nikon D3000. I hope to really get into photography and start taking professional photos sometime in the near future!
