Well hey there!  I know that it has been a while since my last post, but school and life in general got kinda crazy all at once.  But I am back for another post and just in time for Thanksgiving!  Can you believe that Thanksgiving is TODAY?  It's truly crazy to think about how fast this year has truly flown by.  With Thanksgiving today, that means that Christmas is literally almost here!  And in my opinion, Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year!  From celebrating the birth of The Savior to waiting for the snow that [normally] doesn't fall.  This is the time for the family traditions, pictures with Santa, cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning, opening Christmas presents together, family gatherings, reading the Christmas story and The Night Before Christmas, and so many more!

The best part though, in my honest opinion, is being able to spend time with these crazy, strange, awesome, amazing people I get to call my family.  This doesn't just stop with my mom, dad and siblings though.  You see, not only do I have the best mom, dad, and siblings ever, I also have the best aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents ever.  Whenever the holidays come around, I get to spend time with these amazing people and it truly makes me so happy.

Now, let me tell you just a little about my family.  Over the past three years, the Lord has revealed to me how truly amazing my whole family is.  This conformation all started when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer.  Since then, we as a family (not alone) have been through many journeys that people really don't want to have to go through.  And though the journeys may have been difficult sometimes, there has been One Person who has remained the same the whole time: God.  Through every single road that we have walked on together as a family, our Savior has been walking beside us holding our hands and guiding us through the difficult times.  He [God] has been the provider of peace, understanding, answers, comfort, and even joy in the times when we have needed it the most.  

But you know what, His care isn't just there in the tough times, God always provides and never will stop!  If that's not completely comforting, I don't know what is.

As this Thanksgiving and Christmas season continues to come around, just remember how blessed you are to have your family to be spending this time with.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
