11.28.09- Day 191

This morning we said goodbye to the big sheltons and then Bethany, Amanda, and I went to the City Market in downtown KC. It was so fun! It's a year round farmer's market. I got some spices for $1 a scoop! We also bought more sweet potatoes than we could possibly eat (oops- we overestimated how many we would need for sweet potato fries). I wish Denver had something like this year round! We just hung out for the rest of the day. It was nice and relaxing and good to be with friends.

11.27.09- Day 190

After spending a couple fun days with the Hunt clan, we headed over to Paul and Bethany's for a few days. We love our Shelton friends! Thanks for letting us spend time with you guys. You're good for our souls.

Al was given the responsibility of shading the Shelton family's faces while I took some pics for their Christmas card.

Spent Thanksgiving with the Hunt family. We enjoyed each other's company, some good food, and taking pictures. Here is some of the fun...

11.25.09- Day 188

Long drive to KC with Matt and Jamie. Look at those macho men. 'Nough said.

Happy Thanksgiving!

(I'll post my post of the day with pics later)

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for so many things! Both Alan and I graduated from school and were blessed with good jobs. We have all that we need and then some. We have wonderful families that are so flexible, loving, and encouraging. We live close to some good friends. We have found a church that we feel in community with. We've been able to travel (me to Ethiopia and both of us to China). It's also been a really great year for Alan and I. It is so easy to take life forgranted, but thank you Lord. We know that every good thing comes from you!
