Thanksgiving is so close, I can almost taste it! I will be busy as a bee Wednesday night making the pies. Mom taught me how to make the pies a while back and it has been my assignment each Thanksgiving since. Except the Mincemeat pie, that's still Mom's specialty; probably because it's made especially for Papa Jim and Grandma Grace. But I must say I have found a taste for it. It's actually quite savory.
What I'm thankful for this week
Great Friends. I realize this has been a recurring theme, but I have been able to spend some quality time lately with those friends that mean so much to me. I went to dinner with Bonnie, which was well over due. We hadn't seen each other since July. She's had many an adventure since then, so catching up was a dream come true. Darby gets to see Bonnie all the time since they work together at the high school. It makes me a little jealous that Darb gets to see Bonnie more often than I do. But Bonnie is a great friend and I love going to dinner with her. We were mission companions and every time I look back on our short six weeks together in Formosa, I am so grateful for all that Bonnie taught me and continues to teach me.
My house. We purchased a house this year as a family investment and it is so nice to have. I love working in the yard or the garage. My roommates are pretty great too. Erin keeps the inside nice and decorated very tastefully. I am more than happy to take care of the outside stuff. It works out for everyone.
My calling. Right now I am serving in the Stake RS presidency as the secretary. The three girls with whom I get to associate each week are wonderful girls and teach me so much about the gospel and being a true disciple of Jesus Christ in word and action. I am constantly amazed by their knowledge, discernment and compassion. They are true examples to me of living the gospel and I am so grateful for the time that I have to serve with them.
