Happy Thanksgiving!

I know that it still has taken me a while to update this blog, but I will get better. I have been thinking a lot about the many things that I am thankful for. I really enjoy this time of year with the leaves changing and the opportunity to focus on what is important in life. First of all I am thankful for a wonderful wife who is the best thing that ever happened to me! We will be married four years in December and it has been an incredible journey! I am also thankful for my two sons. Gavin is 2 now and is like a sponge, observing and taking in everything that he can each day. He reminds me all of the time of the excitement of life and learning. I am also very thankful to have another son this year! Noah is almost 4 months old and is growing a lot. It is great to have a baby in our house again and it is especially fun to watch the two of them interact!
I am also thankful for all of our family and friends. It is great to live near our families so that we see them often. Our friends have been an important thing in our lives and two weeks ago we went and visited a few of them. We had the opportunity to visit Emily's brother Andrew and her sister Amanda in Rexburg. We stayed with Reece and Emiliy who are some friends of ours in Idaho Falls. My wife Emily grew up with Emily and have been friends for their entire lives. We then traveled down to Salt Lake visited my Great Aunt Addie, she just turned 89. We alsways enjoy seeing her. We stayed with T roy and Jen. T roy was a roommate of mine at Ricks. They have a son Cache who is just a little bit older than Gavin and one on the way. After that we went to Logan and stayed with Josh and Shanna and there two girls. I have known Josh my whole life and we were roommates at Ricks as well. We attended the Boise State vs. Utah State game. It was great! We had both Gavin and Noah with us and they we were all dressed head to toe in Bronco Gear! It was a great trip and we had a great time seeing all of those friends that we did.
I am also thankful for our health and for the job that I am able to work at. I am learning things each day and really enjoying it.
We hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
