I am Thankful!

OK....I am finally getting to this! (Sorry Brandi!) I have been tagged by Brandi Rasmussen, and now I need to tell you 6 things that I am thankful for!

#1. I am thankful for my wonderful husband! He is my rock and my better half. I love how we can be completely honest with eachother and how happy he makes me! We are best friends and we love to do a lot of things together! I love him with my whole heart and soul! I could not have asked for a better man! :)

#2. I am thankful for family! I am thankful for the little family that Ryan and I have and also my immediate two families. (Ry's and mine) They are such a great support to us in all that we do! I love that they give us advice while at the same time letting us make our own decisons. We are sooo excited to see them at Christmas!

#3. I am thankful for friends. I have such great friends! They are always there for me! It's sooo nice to have people that you can count on to have fun with and to also cry with!

#4. I am thankful for heat! With as cold as it is in Rexburg it is so nice to be able to be WARM!

#5. I am thankful for the gospel and scriptures. The gospel is what makes me who I am. I don't know where I would be without it! I know the scriptures can answer any questions that I have and can be a guiding light in my life...it is! :)

#6. I am thankful for my Savior. I can never repay Him for what he has done for me, but I will sure try my whole life! :) It is so wonderful to have someone always there with you that knows exactly how you feel. I don't know where I would be without Him in my life!

We love love love CAMPING!!

Ryan and I both LOVE camping and so we decided it was time to go before it got to cold... ;) Which is was supposed to be cold on Friday night (when we went) However it turned out to be quite nice. A little nippy...but not to bad! We had a blast! And we were sooo excited because we just bought a 6-man tent!!!! So it needless to say it was a lot bigger than Ryan's old 1.5-man packpacking tent that he has had since he was a scout! lol! I was sooo happy that Ry could actually fit his whole body in this tent...I am sure he was happy too! :)

This was out sweet six-man tent!

This is Ry getting ready to cook me breakfast! Awww! Don't I have the best hubby ever?! :)

Ok...So I know that was loads of fun to see us goofing off! In addition to camping we also went on a little nature hike...well er...I guess more of walk. We were walking across a very dry river bed that was next to the camp ground! Fun stuff! :)

The picture of Ry looking down at that huge mass of black was actually a huge pile of BEAVERS! It was crazy! Apparently there were big ones and little baby ones. They had all been burned. :( So sad...kinda gross too...but kinda sad. I didn't dare go near them.

This was our lovely camp site! :) What a fun trip! :)
