We had the best time spending Thanksgiving holiday in Thayne, Wyoming. We rented a basement apartment that was great. Star Valley was pretty and Thayne was the cutest little town.

Such a good Thanksgiving in Thayne, Wyoming. Turkey in the Tetons and just our little family was wonderful.
“Ain’t it funny how the best days of my life was all that wasted time.” - Keith Urban.
Today was a quote kind of day.
“Nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers don’t drink their own water. Trees don’t eat their own fruit. Sun doesn’t give heat for itself. Flowers don’t spread fragrance for themselves. Living for others is the rule of nature. And therein lies the secret of life.” —Amit Gupta
“Having different blessing than someone doesn’t mean God loves us less, it means He loves us individually.” - Mary StallingsHappy Darren’s birthday. Sunday birthdays just aren't the best for celebrating. I'm glad we were able to sneak away yesterday.
I gave a talk in the 3rd ward on mercy. I very much enjoyed pondering justice and mercy this past month. It is beautiful how God is both just and merciful.
Convinced Darren that driving to Canyonlands and hiking for a bit would be a great way to spend his birthday Eve. 7 hours in the car was worth the 5 hours at the park.
“Counting our blessings is far better than recounting our problems.” -
President Nelson. Oh how I needed his smile, his optimism, and his
encouragement to be grateful. 7 days of thankful journal couldn’t have
come at a better time.
Governor quarantine allowed D, Sadie and I to relax and watch movies
this weekend. Friday was Jurassic World and Saturday was Jurassic World 2
and it was so nice to relax and watch movies.
When you only run once a week, it’s always painful. But listening to a
good podcast helps. This morning was - Don’t Miss This, Ether 1-5. Good
episode. “Faith = confident that He can, hoping that He will, but I
trust that His will is good.” Also, God works in disappointments.
Pickleball at the church with D, Mason, and Rylie was a fabulous
Saturday night event. Then pizza and Just dance for even more fun.
Zion was way fun! I love that this may be an every year thing now that we’ve done it two years in a row. Hiking in beauty with friends for 4 days is awesome! So many smiles, much laughter, and such beauty. I especially love the east side of Zion.
Started my new position at the library today. Finally took a clerk
position. I’ve passed this up many times over my library years but now
feels like the time for a change. I like working at the library. The pay
stinks but the people are nice, the hours are good, and it’s a good
environment.
Another good Sabbath. K and T came to visit and we had an epic jokers and marbles game down to the last card. Intense. Ha ha. We also had a visit from Russell. :) Also the Murphys (picking up Kaitlyn). It was a beautiful fall afternoon chatting outside.
Darren feeding the two dogs whip cream was entertaining.
