Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you know Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday? I love the meaning behind it, I love the family gathering, the good food, good conversation, and just all around family time. I think each year that goes by I am more and more grateful for our families for the love and support they give us. I got pretty lucky with my family, immediate, extended, in-laws, my sister and brother-in laws, etc, etc. I feel extremely blessed. I'm thankful for a loving and supportive husband who motivates me and helps push me (sometimes drags) me along whether it be thru nursing school, church, or just life. I'm grateful for my nursing school experience, I know the Lords timing is everything. It's been amazing to see things unfold these last few years and how it's been all in his timing.
It all started when we were looking into moving to Arizona. Josh had been applying at some departments there, even tested for one. During that time we ended up finding our home in Herriman, when we stepped inside we knew it was it. I know I had the strongest feeling that this is where we were suppose to be. Shortly after Josh got the notice that he was to test for SLCPD. The weekend in July that we moved into our home he tested and later found out he made number 2 on the list. A short time after that I found out I finally was to start nursing school. Then I found a position at Riverton hospital (literally 10 minutes from home) that I could interview and transfer to...doing the same thing I was at Central Lab. These positions don't come up very often at Riverton. It was definitely a blessing. The people at work have been AMAZING with working with me so that I can work and go to school. It was meant to be. I couldn't do it without them. The group of people in my classes, we've bonded. There is no group like it. I KNOW Heavenly Father knows our needs and puts us where people can bless our lives or we can bless the lives of others. There is no doubt in my mind I was suppose to be with the group I'm with!
I'm thankful that I have a loving Heavenly Father that knows who I am and knows whats in our best interest. I'm grateful for the knowledge of the gospel, it means everything to me.
I hope that today on Thanksgiving we take time to thank our Heavenly Father for everything that we've been given and we take time to truly reflect on the blessings that's he's given to us, big and small. We take so much for granted and I'm grateful for a day that helps humble us and remind us that we need to be thankful!
I'm sad that we can't be with all our family on Thanksgiving, everyone is so spread out, work, or whatever else gets in the way, but know we love you all and are thinking of you!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Now go eat some good food! :) Stuff those bellies!
