IT'S almost here.......

Christmas!!!!!! but, that's not what I'm thinking right now..... more like END OF SEMESTER!!! I love school, but this past little while has been super stressful! I don't know what I was thinking 16 credits, 30+ hours a week at target, trying to keep the house clean, and not to mention trying to keep up on laundry and there is only two of us!! I'm hanging in there though its almost over! We made it through Black Friday, and Thanksgiving at Grandpa Carters was wonderful! I wanted to list some things I am greatful for! Tis' the season...

1. My wonderful, amazing, hard-working, Husband! It is our first thanksgiving since we've been married!
2. My Job even though I dislike it at times...
3. My husbands Job... he works hard to support our family!
4. The roof over my head... I love having our own place to call home!
5. UNLV and the great Education we are both receiving 
6. My parents and in-laws they are our biggest support!!
7. The country in which I live and all the troops who protect our country. On Veterans day John made sure we wrote Thank you veterans on the back of our car!
8. Trials they make us grow stronger
9. My calling... even though it is pushing me to my limits!! That's good though! I should be using the talents I have been given and what better way to do so then playing the piano in primary! I can do this! 
10. Dove Ice Cream Bars!! They are my new found favorite treat!

Happy Turkey Day!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! Our second Thanksgiving together, but our first as a married couple! We spent thanksgiving with my family this year playing lots of dice, eating delicious food, and playing/ talking with all the cousins! Are trip was quick because we had to get back to Las Vegas for work, but it was well worth it! We even stopped and got hot chocolate at LOVES on our way back to Vegas and we discovered the Worlds BEST hot chocolate! 

Family Home Evening =)

We had a fun FHE tonight! Sometimes we get so caught up in our busy schedules we don't have time to fit in Family Home Evening... that's a bad thing to say, but it's the truth... but, when we do we ALWAYS have a blast! Tonight we played Jenga and colored christmas ornaments for our future Christmas Tree! They turned out super CUTE! Who knew we could be so creative?? and making our own ornaments ended up being so much cheaper then buying a whole bunch!
