Thankful For...

This year I am so excited for the holidays. Thanksgiving is always the best kick-off to a season full of family and friends. This picture captured the essence of the warmth that Thanksgiving day brings. I wanted to make a list of the things I have been thinking about that I am grateful for this season:

* My Wonderful Family
* To have the greatest friends in my life
* That I have a roof over my head when I fall asleep at night
* Opportunity to go to school
* The Holidays and all of my favorite traditions spent with all of my favorite people
* Our Country and Freedom
* Beautiful Weather
* My Health
* Low gas prices
* The magic of Christmas music
* My new cabinets
*Soothing power of home-made cookies!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

In case you are interested to know how Josh and I came to be... I will be the first to tell our story.
Believe it or not, we actually went to preschool together! I don't remember him and he doesn't remember me, but we have a poloroid to prove it!
We actually grew up in the same neighborhood. I moved away in third grade and long story short, we met back up in High School. My best friend took him to sweethearts and I thought he was the funniest, corkiest person ever... Exactly my type!
So after being friends for quite some time he finally decided to take me on a date, a double date. Our first date began with me having to pick him up from a parade ( he was selling big stick ice creams) and to my arrival noticing that he was wearing a wife-beater! Which was funny, because I am pretty sure that I spent all day getting ready for him :)
I think he put a nicer shirt on over the wife beater to get dolled up for I-Hop! We shared our first first romantic dinner over a funny-faced pancake and orange juice!
When walking me to the garage door that night, I think he kissed me... He was so nervous that he did it so fast and paced back to the car faster than lightening... It was true Love!
He went on his mission in February 2005, and we wrote almost every week. I dated lots of people, but no one measured up to my "Shu Shu!"
We then dated when he got back for about a year and then decided to tie the knot in Hawaii and the rest is history still being written!
