Our Summary for this week...

SOME UPDATES: --Well good news...we have a bite on the condo...hoping to sell it soon, it's a great feeling to get that done! 2 Saturdays ago we went hiking with friends to Bells Canyon, one of our favorite places...it will probably be the last time for the season I'm thinking:) We have had fun spending time with family...Brad has become the new human horse for kids...they love it. It's so fun to have nieces and nephews around--they are so fun! We didn't make it to the Nielson "chopping wood" day but had to post a pix of the brothers with my dad...my brother Rory moved back from Norway so it's fun to have him back! It's fun to have someone to actually cook for, so I am trying new recipes..my friend sent me one for jalepeno poppers--and it was easy and tasty. Some of my new recipes don't turn out great..so Brad is a sweetie and eats it anyway, he is a trooper:) We have both kept pretty busy with work...so we are very excited to get time off for Thanksgiving weekend. I actually ordered a gluten-free pie crust so I can have a pie this year...Wahoo:) This time of year is so great to remember all that we are thankful for. I realize that I truly have soooo many things to be grateful for...so here is my list:

1. Family/(Cute Bradley) 2. The Gospel 3. Friends--I have some of the best friends ever! 4. Great job--Teaching is soo hard sometimes, but sooo rewarding too 5. Nice house--I am grateful for heaters in homes this time of year 6. Health 7. Technology--it can do some pretty great things for us in our world today 8. Books--love to read 9. Cars--to visit family and loved ones 10. Education--I feel fortunate to have been able to go to some great schools in my life Well the list could go on and on, but I truly am grateful for so many things in life and realize the attitude of gratitude should last throughout the year..not just around this time. Hope everyone is having a great week...and enjoy the family time we get soon:)
