Daily Thanksgiving-Church

Grateful for the ability to go to church and worship how I please. Grateful that I can teach my kids the gospel. Grateful for teachers who sacrifice their time to teach my kids. Grateful for ward members/leaders that care about my family. Grateful for the peace that I feel from trying to do what is right for my family.

Daily Thanksgiving~ Tar-zhey

Ben was in the right place at the right time, so thankful for employment and great employers. Thankful that Ben provides what is needed for our little family and is willing to do so. He rarely misses work unless his leg is broke in half or he is scheduled off. He loves his job and sets an amazing example of work ethic for our boys. Thanks Ben, thanks for all the time you sacrifice away from us to make our lives better in return.

My infamous painting of the drive way that took about 12 months to fade away......sorry neighbors!

Daily Thanksgiving- Cart Tart?Air hostess?sky girl? trolley dolly?

I loved this cartoon when I saw it on a friends Facebook it sometimes is the way I feel when I fly with a junior flight attendant who is still VERY enthusiastic about her job. For example some junior flight attendants get pretty passionate when a passenger brings on a bag that is too big for our smaller aircraft, they try and explain why it won't fit, why they should check it, why, why, why. I just say to the passenger that won't fit on this aircraft, of course the passenger looks at you like this is your first rodeo....so I just simply smile and say you are welcome to try it, fast forward 2 minutes you see the passenger trying to swim back up the single aisle with their BIG OL' BAG and say when they get back to me, "it won't fit".....I simply smile and point to where they could have left it a few minutes ago and saved themselves and everyone else the hassle..

I have always wanted to add up some of the trips that we have been on, and find out how much it would have cost to fly there because I don't get paid a lot but we have been able to make some priceless memories...

Some of our most memorable trips...

Salt Lake City to Paris, for two, coach $3.000
Salt Lake City to Frankfurt,for two, first class $14,500
Salt Lake City to Maui; twice coach and first once $11,400.
Salt Lake City to Kauai coach for six people $3600.00
Salt Lake to Miami (6)$3000.00
Salt Lake to Orlando for 6 people times 3-$9000.00

I can't even remember how many times we have flown up to Canada but for each person it is about 550.00$ crazy!

So thankful to have had the opportunity to travel, see some sites, make some memories, I am thankful that I can work and be gone when it is not as noticeable to the kids. I am thankful that I work with people who are generally happy and fun to be around, I am thankful that for the most part I have had very minor events and I still know it is safer to fly than drive your car. I am thankful that our pilots are very safe and I know they want to make it home just like I do.

Some pics to follow of some of the memories we have made..
