Thanksgiving

This year Brett and I could not be together for Thanksgiving, so I was going to go to by parents. Well, they planned to go to Utah to visit my grandparents and my dad's siblings and said I could tag along!! They even bought my ticket. I am so thankful for wonderful parents who still watch out for me. We left Dallas on Wednesday where is was about 80 degrees and flew to Salt Lake where it was 20 degrees. SO COLD!!!!! The snow on the ground was beautiful though. We were there until early Sunday morning. So much fun. 

I am truly grateful for my wonderful husband. I miss him so much, but we both know that serving in the Army is what the Lord wants us to do and I feel blessed every day. I'm thankful for my job, mo co-workers, my friend, and especially my family & Brett's family for supporting us and helping me out while I'm living by myself.

Here are a few pictures of the trip. Check out my facebook page for more pictures.

Uncle Dwayne, awesome guy

My cousin Tyler got the turkey leg, we didn't even sit down for another 10 minutes when he was handed the leg

My brother Jeff is buried in West Valley and Dad had to dig in the snow to find the marker

Snow was up past my ankles

We always leave Yellow Texas Roses and Blue Bonnets
Everyone who could come with us

My first snow angel in probably 20 years :)
