Thanksgiving~

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. Except for the fact that Joe and I couldn't spend it with our families in Utah we had a wonderful day of cooking, laughing and just being together. It was the first Thanksgiving meal that we cooked entirely on our own without help from "mom" and we both agreed that it was some of the best food we had ever had (not that your cooking isn't amazing mom's)...we were very proud.

Before we start our cooking adventure.

Joe getting to "know" the turkey.

Rubbing the turkey down with butter...so delicious!

Making stuffing.

Approving of stuffing.

Peeling potatoes is serious business.

Busy, busy, busy.

Posing with the spread.

And hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream for desert.

After dinner snuggling....both of us are too full to move!

We have a lot to be thankful for this year we are healthy and happy with families that love us to boot. We love you - Love Marie and Joe.

P.S We will be home in 15 days!!!

Welcome to our blog!

Since Joe and I have moved to Pittsburgh my thoughts have been turned more and more to my family and friends back in Utah and how the connection I have with them is so important to me. I have realized that that connection is all that matters in life it's what makes life worth living. I am always wanting to send emails and pictures to let you all know how we are and what we are doing but sending pictures can make email sizes too big and then sometimes I end up leaving some people off the email list or sending info to people twice. So in an effort to reach out to all of you from Pittsburgh I decided to create a blog. Plus I think this blog will be more fun and self expressive that just plain old email (not that email is bad - I love it when I get email from any of you so keep it coming!).

It makes me happy seeing pictures and knowing what people are doing so I want this blog to do that for all our family and friends that we can't see everyday. I love all of you so much and can't wait to visit in December!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
