I just want to say that I am really the luckiest gal.  I have such an incredible husband.  He is constantly amazing me with his talent, determination, and accomplishments.  This man can do it all people.  I have been gone from home for almost a month, and as we drove into Vernal last night, I was so excited to get into my own house, my own bed, and my routine.  As I pulled into the garage, my jaw dropped.  Once again, Mike amazed me.  He built - by himself I might add - storage and a work area for all of my crafting.  He also built a shoe rack, which I didn't get a picture of, but which is equally as awesome.  The work table for the craft area rolls out.  My husband is incredible.  Thank you Mike!

We also purchased our "family" car yesterday.  As an odd side-note, the salesman knew my family back in North Carolina.  In fact he worked with my brother!  Small world. Anyway, we bought a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder.  It's so nice and roomie, and I absolutley love it.  It had so much more power than my little Yaris did going up the canyons on the way home from Salt Lake, and Mike warned me that I best slow down or I might get pulled over.

 While in North Carolina, I got to spend some quality time with my family.  It was so nice to be there and to laugh and play with everyone.  Thanksgiving was delicious.  Our good friends, the Harts, came over with their little sweetheart, Georgia, for the meal.  Kids were running around crazy and I loved basking in the atmosphere.  We had family pictures taken by a great photographer, and here are some of my favorite pictures.  Sam hardly ever gives kisses these days when you ask for one - he's a spontaneous little kisser.  But this day he cooperated.  I also love the candid shot of him and Mike.  Oh man do I love my little family! 

Bottom line people - I love my family and my life.
