Cabbage Patch kids of DEATH!

Titles have to be some of the most fun things that I get to come up with. Do you remember the Garbage Pail Kids? All of the grotesque trading cards of demented Cabbage Patch kids knock-offs? Good times.

So today is my Thanksgiving post. This time of year is my most stressful and that was before I started school. We got married 11 years ago last Saturday. So Michelle and I went out to dinner at Red Lobster because she loves seafood. Then we went to Curtains which is a musical being put on by Hale Center Theater. It was funny and fun. Great show. Over dinner Michelle asked me to tell her my favorite memory of the last 11 years. That was a tough task and we spent a good portion of our time together when we could talk without disturbing the show, talking about some of the good times we've had.

Then is Thanksgiving which is generally at Michelle's parent's house because it's around her birthday(if not on it) and so we go up there. Then this year, her birthday is the day after Thanksgiving. It's also Black Friday. And from there we are plunged into the Christmas season with baking and decorations and parties. And for the last two years it's also finals. Oh joy.

In the long and short of it, I have been very blessed. I have many things to be thankful for and I'm going to make a short list of those things I'm most thankful for:
my wife
the gospel(Jesus, Heavenly Father, atonement, etc)
my kids
my job

I said it would be short. Happy Thanksgiving!
