Attitude of Gratitude: Day One

Today in church, my oh so talented little brother Mike and his wife Megan gave talks about Gratitude and Thankfulness.  Megan made me cry several times as she expressed her gratitude for the men and women who serve our country.  I would like to echo their thoughts, as well as add my own.   In honor of Thanksgiving I wanted to post each day something that I am grateful for. 

Day One:  My Eternal Family

I am grateful to have a knowledge of Eternal Families...and know that Andy, Noah and I (and all our future little Stockhoffs) are sealed together for all eternity.  I am so lucky to have them in my life and am so glad they are mine forever.  I am grateful to my Savior, who made this possible.

Three Reasons We Went to Utah...

1) To see my cousin Kelsey get married.
2) To eat frozen yogurt, of course.
3) To get my hair did.

Three very important reasons if you ask me. Let's start at the top.

Kelsey and AJ's wedding. Beautiful sunny (and chilly) November day. My Mom, sister Whitney, Noah and I got up at the crack of dawn to drive to Utah. It was neat to be able to share this special day with Kelsey and AJ and we couldn't be happier for them. Here are some fun pics from the occasion.

The Happy Couple.

If you can't tell, my cousins Jason and Emily were my main subjects. We were bribing them with marshmallows and gold fish if they would pose for us. Obviously it worked, and they are adorable.

Frozen Yogurt. Since moving away from California and Utah, I have gone into Frozen Yogurt withdrawals. Needless to say, anytime I make a trip I have to load up. I want to personally thank those who graciously entertain my fro-yo addiction...mainly my Mom, sister Whitney and friend Cammie - who will always accompany on a yogurt run. Sadly I don't have a picture of me eating the yogurt (trust me, it never last long enough to catch me in the act)...but just know it was delish, and I can't wait to go back for more!

Lastly,  there is something about getting your hair done that makes you feel like a million bucks...or at least like a new person.  Ever since I first moved to UT in 2005 I have gone to Megan. Even now that I have moved away, I can't bring myself to go to anyone else!  I will travel LONG and FAR to keep an appointment.  I love her (and not just because she is so great at doing my hair).  She remembers EVERYthing I tell her - even when I went for over a year with out seeing her.  If you live in Utah and need a good friend and hair stylist, let me know and I would be happy to give you her info. 

ps. Please forgive me for my bed/nap head.
