Thanksgiving at the Dunes 2012

Dune season is officially in full swing and of course the first trip of the season was during Thanksgiving. There is nothing better then riding quads/rhinos eating yummy food with friends and family. I was very grateful to my father in-law for buying a rhino this year (basically a souped up golf cart)so that he can take grand kids on rides and of course pregnant ladies such as myself! We were at the dunes from Wednesday through Saturday and had a blast. Everyone brings a contribution to the Thanksgiving feast and we eat everything you would normally eat at a home Thanksgiving dinner.

Jaden had so much fun riding in the dunes all safe and snug in his car seat, with his cool helmet and goggles. He even survived me rolling the rhino over upside down. Luckily no one was hurt and just a little scared, I pretty much fired myself from ever driving again hahaha. Also while we were there both of the binki's I had for Jaden he chewed up, so of course he wanted nothing to do with them the whole trip..AWESOME.

I did find one more binki that is good at my mom's house tonight, and tried giving it to him at bedtime because he was fussing but he spit it out. I think it's almost safe to say we are binki FREE and that he doesn't want one anymore. Which makes me happy that he kicked the habit on his own and I didn't have to be the bad guy!! Thanksgiving was wonderful this year and I feel very grateful to my Father in Heaven for my wonderful little family and all that we are blessed with, I really do love this time of year when we can reflect on all the things we are thankful for and for all the fun memories we get to make around this festive holiday season.

I'm also really excited to start Christmas decorating my house and putting up lights so that will be another later post!!

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
