Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been meaning to write a “thankful” post for a while. I guess better late than never. First. I'm thankful that Thanksgiving turned out so well. Curtis' parents and aunt came to our house this year It was the first time I made a turkey all by myself. Thanks to roasting bags, frozen Rhode's rolls, and successful delegation...dinner turned out great.

My biggest thankful is a wonderful husband. I knew hew as a good guy when I married him, but I had no clue how great he would be. He does the laundry and the dishes (especially since I've been pregnant), he can live off of minimal hours of sleep and never gets grumpy because of it (hopefully that continues after the babies come), he works VERY hard at his job and does it very well, he's super smart, he dreams REALLY big, he's super friendly and likes most of my friends even more than I do—just kidding guys. Those are just a few of the reasons I love him so much. I'm grateful for people: sisters, family, a great ward, wonderful coworkers, and awesome friends. I'm grateful for my babies. I'm grateful for the perspective that Addison has given us as a family and I'm grateful for these two little miracles growing inside of me. I'm grateful that Curtis has a good job that will allow me to stay home with them. I'm grateful for our cute little house...especially our baby room:) Finally, I'm grateful for the restoration of the gospel and for our Savior. Where would I be without His strength and an eternal perspective.

Thanks

I'm quite tired and going to bed shortly, but wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to our baby showers up North. You were all so generous. We came home with a car full of all sorts of baby necessities. Thank you a million times. We've been working on the big stuff, but didn't have any clothes at all. Looking at all of the blanket and the tiny little clothes makes it a whole lot more real. In the next 2-3 months, we really will be bringing two little babies home. Ahhh! I can hardly wait. It's hard to believe how much these two little babies will change our lives.
