November- remember to be thankful!

30 days to be thankful.

(I'm a day late... so here's yesterday's post...)

Day number 1: I am thankful for two working cars. Even though one makes funny noises, steams and smokes in the middle of traffic, and seems to barely make it through the week, it still saved us time, money, and a lot of trouble when it showed up on Craigs list this past February and we're very thankful for it. We bought it to go back and forth 2 miles to work in Amarillo, Texas, a relatively flat area of the country. It has now made it from Texas to Missouri and from Missouri to Illinois and now from home to work in downtown Kansas City. And there are some great hills here in the river valley!

I am also thankful for our 12 passenger monster van that has also come from Texas to Missouri, to Utah, to California, to Illinois, fits everyone with room to spare, and serves as a spare in case of problems. Also works for Scout campouts and youth temple trips. We bought it right after Christopher joined our family.

We are blessed!

We've only had two other cars before these two... our OTHER Ford Escort, our first car bought when expecting Michael, and our Ford Windstar we got before Nathanael was born. We also borrowed Amanda's car for a short time when she was on her mission.
