Happy Anniversary #49...and Thanksgiving!

 It's one of those times when our anniversary falls exactly on Thanksgiving!  And I'm ok with that because being married to Paul is one of the things I am most thankful for!  I will always be grateful for him coming into my life when he did and bringing me the love I so needed right then.  It has been a wonderful adventure being married to him and having him teach me to love so many things that I knew nothing about pretty much!  I can't believe it's been so long!  I love him more and more as the years go by if that's possible.  It's a little worrisome to think that more of it is behind us than in front of us, at least here on earth.  We will just keep on keeping on enjoying it! Love you Paul, with all my heart!  We celebrated some the other night with one of our favorite dinners at the Outback.  We will celebrate more as we can over this busy week end and then more if we want to later!  


Here's our Thanksgiving!  Ferf and kids and Grandma joined us this year.  Paul's smoked turkey breast was a delicious addition that we will want to keep on the menu in the future.  It was fun to see all of the kids and hear their life updates.  The food was great and the company as well.
On Friday we spent the day together just running errands and getting things done for Anna Lou.  Saturday we got our chores done and then just decided on the spur of the moment to go over to Jacob Lake for dinner.  We drove the back road through Cane Beds and Kanab to get there and stopped off to hike up to the caves by Moqui Cave.  We've driven by them for years and finally decided to stop and hike up to see them.  It was a little sketching getting up to them, but well worth it to see what is there.  The dinner wasn't the best this time, but the cookies and hot chocolate were SO good!  We also put up a fake Christmas tree on Saturday morning.  It is the best one we've ever seen and it will be nice not to have to worry about needles and sap.  I will miss the process of going out and getting one in some ways, but it felt like time to save the trees and do this instead.  Paul bought me a beautiful necklace at Jacob Lake.  And we also bought Paul a new suit on Friday. He's going to be put in the SA Ward bishopric next Sunday.  He has lost so much weight that he needed a new suit.  And we got a great deal on the Black Friday sale!  Happy #49!
