IT'S ALMOST THANKSGIVING!!

I'm very happy with the new background on my blog and I'm pretty excited that I figured out how to add it, all by myself!! This has been a great week...I've either gotten to talk to, or see each of our kids - which has been wonderful! On Thurs., Mike dropped by, on his new (well, it's an '86) motorcycle & when he knocked on the door, I said "that sounds like Mikeys' knock"! When I answered the door, he was standing on the porch - what a pleasant surprise for us! Everton said "did you know Mike was coming over?" I said "nope, I just recognized his knock!" We had fun visiting! Allen came over Friday night & we had dinner together & then Lis came home from working @ the mall and she visited for a bit...until she went VERY early to bed...she & Jen had gone to see "Twilight" on Thurs. night at midnight & didn't get home 'til after 2 a.m. Friday morning, so she needed some sleep! I talked to Jen Sat. morning and she loved the movie, so I guess I'll have to start reading the books (I haven't started yet, 'cause I'm afraid I'll get "hooked" & stay up too late reading!!), so I can go see the movie!
Lis and Adams' wedding invitations came in this week & they are sooo cute! I can't wait to mail them out!! We are having fun buying things for the reception: plates, utensils, napkins, "goodie bags" & goodies to put inside the bags - I also ordered dresses for both the wedding days (Lis and Adams' & also for Mike and Saras')...and we looked at wedding cake designs yesterday, for Lis and Adams' reception - things are coming together well & there's just 7 more weeks 'til Lis and Adam get married and they'll get to go to the temple on Dec. 18th to receive their endowment, which is another awesome date to look forward to! Well, I hope you'll have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and I am thankful for my loving family and friends, for my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, for my job, for my home and all the abundance in my life, and most importantly, for my Savior, Jesus Christ
