Being Grateful....

Today is Thanksgiving.. We didn't go out of town this year and didn't have any family coming to visit. So it was a nice quiet day with just our little family. Our Ward was asking for donations for dinners for those who are in need and so we donated as much of the list as we could and then because it was just us, we decided to go out to eat our Thanksgiving dinner. We at first were going to go to Golden Corral and eat all you can eat, but when we got there at 12:20 pm there was already a 45 minute wait just to get seated. So, we decided to try Marie Calendars across the street and we got right in. They were a little more money but it too was all you can eat and they served you. It turned out to be a really nice dinner and as we left there were so many people waiting to eat. It was crazy! We have never eaten out on Thanksgiving so I didn't know it could be this way.. I really thought everyone stays home and cooks, apparently not.
So, we came home stuffed and sleepy. So as we all relaxed for a bit and watched some football. We then decided to watch the movie we rented Super 8. It was a good movie.
So, now we have just a few more hours and me and Joe are going to go hit a few stores for the black friday sales. That should complete the evening and then starts the weekend of taking down Fall and putting up Christmas.. and then the crazy begins!
All and all it has been a nice day. It has also been a time to reflect on what your grateful for. Here are a few of mine:

* That me, Joe and the boys all have our health

* We have a roof over our heads.. It may not be ours but we are making it home

* To have cars that run

* For the gospel in our lives

* That Joe has a good, steady job

* For his health insurance for all of us

* Both of our families that love and support us

* For good friends


Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
