Thankful

Thanksgiving is such a fun holiday. I love it because it's the one time during the fall semester that we get to go home, but also because it's a time to reflect on our lives and recognize everything we've been blessed with. Ty and I have so many things to be thankful for, but we just picked five to share with you.

1. We are thankful for our families. We often exchange stories about our families and things we did growing up, traditions we'd like to keep, and crazy things we did with our siblings. We both love our parents and our siblings and are excited to be able to see some of them this coming week!

2. We are thankful for school. We love BYU-Idaho and we're so thankful that we're able to get an education (and have some fun while we're here too)!

3. We are thankful for church. We are extremely blessed to have the gospel in our lives. We are thankful for the inspired leaders of the church who guide us and care for us. We're thankful that we have a temple literally up the street, and for all the other blessings we receive as members of the church.

4. We are thankful for sports. I'm sure most of you are well aware that sports are everything to Ty. I'm thankful that Ty has the opportunity to play sports here at school, and I'm thankful that I grew up in a family of sports fans so I know what's going on when I watch Ty play! We love going to games, mostly football and basketball. It makes for fun date nights and we love spending that time together.

5. Last but not least, we are thankful for each other. Married life is great! I love being with my best friend all the time. We always have fun together and love learning more and more about each other. This semester we were lucky enough to work out our schedules so we have a break at the same time. We just hang out in the cafeteria and talk, and talk, and talk. I love that we don't necessarily have to be doing anything to have a good time; just being together is enough to keep us both happy!

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
