Thanksgiving

We spent thanksgiving at Ashton's parents yesterday. It was a good day. We ate great food, played lots of games, and Aspen was actually pretty good. Then we went to Enchanted, much to Ashton's dismay and my interest. I LOVED it and he thought it was a chick flick. I laughed so hard. But of course, if you know me, I always laugh at anything. I find something funny in just about anything, and usually in a theatre I'm the only one lauging, or the loudest, because no matter what I try, I can't laugh quietly, or it just comes out my nose. Guess I just have a good sense of humor...or a silly one. Either way.

I have been out of the habit of saying my own prayers at night after family prayers, an decided yesterday for Thanksgiving, to get back in the habit of Thanking my father in Heaven more. It felt really nice to get on my knees and htalk to Him, and let him know all I was thankful for, and especially that I was missing my dad a lot right now, but that I was thankful for how much He has sustained all of my family through this ordeal.

I am thankful for opportunities that help me to grow. And although I think I have had more of the "Refiners fire" than I was prepared to have this year, I am thankful for the growth I have had.

I'm thankful for my sweet husband who gave me a super nice Canon Rebel XTI Camera for my birthday and told me he wants me to go take photography classes because he knows how much I have become interested in the arts, grapic arts, anything computer, animation, etc. All these things are things I have never in my life been much interested in, but my dad always loved them and pursued them, and I think I have begun to have an interest because it helps me to feel closer to him. So I am really an amature at it all, but I hope to get better, and maybe I'll be able to share as I go along in this life journey. So if I post something that isn't that great, just know it's just practice. Feel free to tell me how to make it better!
