Suzy Q
So, besides yesterday being Thanksgiving, it was a really busy day for our family. We have a new addition to our little family. No, a baby is not on the way. We now have a small Pomeranian, named Suzy. Chris's cousin gave us this sweet dog and we couldn't resist.
This is Suzy as she looks now. We are going to get her to a groomer within a week and she will be half the size. I can't even brush through all that fluffly hair. Stay tuned for the updates!
Now, although we spent most of yesterday in the car (Yes, 6 hour drive to get the dog!), it was a great Thanksgiving. We got to spend the day with both of our families and have 2 great dinners. Chris and I have so much to be thankful for:
Family: We both have our families so close and can visit anytime we want. They are so supportive of us and show us love everyday!
Friends: We have so many friends surrounding us and love being able to spend time with them.
Jobs: Chris and I have been lucky enough to have great jobs.
Gospel: Of course, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without it I don't know where Chris or I would be. It is such a strength to have it as a foundation in our lives.
There are so many other things in our lives. We live in such a great country and are surrounded by so many freedoms that others take for granted. Chris and I have a wonderful life and have been so blessed to spend the last 18 months together!

I have a new found respect for parents. Did I mention I hate doing laundry and for extra people it is even worse : { Thank you Braden for keeping you and Zach's stuff clean and for cleaning the house. Needless to say, it was a fun experience, but I was really glad for mom and dad to get home!
