"Double double" is how Mallory says "Gobble gobble" when she sees a turkey. She loves the holidays and makes them so much more fun for Porter and I. This month I have realized how truly blessed we have been. It seems that over the past few years I could always think of challenges we were facing at the time but the last few weeks I have seen so many blessings come our way that I really can't make a single complaint. Especially since Thanksgiving is just days away I have tried to recognize all of my blessings, even the little things. Here are just a few ways we have been blessed just this month:
- Porter has been invited for interviews at 2 Physical Therapy schools. One in Glendale and one in Connecticut!!! (we are still waiting to hear from 8 more schools)
- I had a great job really just fall into my lap. My friend suggested my name to her boss back in June and I was just contacted this month to start work, which is such good timing since I don't nurse Mallory in the day anymore and we have family around to help watch her. I really couldn't have a more perfect job. I am doing nutrition consulting for the Head Start Program in Snowflake, Holbrook, and Winslow. I can set my own hours and do a lot of work from home and it is not very many hours.
- Mallory was sick and I swear after praying for her to get better she perks right up!
- We found out that NPC was not offering the last class Porter needed (which they offered last Spring). I searched every online school in the nation and all community colleges in AZ for an online physics course and no one offered it. We were stressing about how Porter was going to get this last class. We prayed and prayed, then the next day NPC called and suggested a list of schools for me to look at. I had checked all of the schools they suggested but 3 and one of them had it online! Sounds like a small thing but this was a huge deal for us so he could get in to a PT school.
- We have a wonderful family that helps us in so many ways. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us live with you! We love it (and hope you do too!) :)
I could go on and on... I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father looking out for me and my little family. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Seriously where did you get those cute jeans?
I just loved your pics of Thanksgiving and your comments of gratitude. I just smiled when I saw Malli there with her boy cousins. Glad things are working out good, your little job, and Porter's school and job interviews. Hope he gets one in Provo. Love you all so much. Grandma and Gramps. Got the cute Christmas pic and letter. Thanks.
