Time for Thanksgiving, I suppose

                                             Well,

my parents entered the MTC today. 

For the second time in 3 1/2 years. 

A lot of amazing things happened in our family the last time they served and so
in spite of being sad every time my 2 year old daughter asks to go see that Grandma, 
I know that we will be blessed for the service they are giving and the sacrifice they
are making.  
I grew up vaguely aware that both my grandparents had served missions, and 
I'm excited to be able to share this idea with my oldest daughter that both of HER grandparents have  also served missions at special times in our lives. 

Just a sample of some of the blessings MY little family has enjoyed from parents serving missions:

- Reed and I began dating and got married while his parents served their  mission.

- we became pregnant with and had Aftyn while my parents served their first mission.

With such awesome blessings, I'm going to try and be grateful, instead 

of feeling sad and missing them, that we have such awesome examples 

to look up to and be grateful for the blessings they will bring to us.  

Can't wait!
