More random thoughts, but on a lighter note!

So, I thought I would just post some random thoughts.

First, I can't wait for Thanksgiving....oh how I love stuffing, the company, and a vacation away from this crazy thing called "putting your husband through a graduate program". Although, Brett will probably have to work on homework while we are there.

Second, I am kind of sad that we won't be seeing both sides of the family for thanksgiving...but hopefully, the Eggetts will be coming to see us in December because Brett will be receiving his MS degree, but will still continue to get his Ed S degree.

Third, I can't wait to see Twilight the movie...yes, I know I probably could have seen it already, but I wanted to go see it with my Mom and sisters...hence, I will wait a few more days.

Fourth, I still have a serious passion for cleaning teeth...I LOVE what I do and it is so great that I don't have to work full time!

Fifth, I can't get enough of the conference edition of the Ensign...Oh so good, especially with the changes going on in the world and the trials I am called to bear at this time.

Sixth, I was so thankful for the week vacation to my parents house. I loved every minute I was able to spend with my grandma, and the rekindling time with Jennifer, the bond that Jace built with everyone, seeing my Mom's amazing recovery from her knee surgery, spending time with my Dad, and of course the unlimited feeding of my crazy drive to play games all the time.

Seventh, before driving home from Salt Lake, I was able to catch up with a bunch of friends from high school and also another friend from Hygiene school. It was so great to see those people, and it felt like 3-7 years really had not passed. Friends can be angels in ways they don't even know they are.

I guess that is enough from my crazy little mind...Hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving and really contemplates what they are thankful for...I am sure I will be posting those things that top my thankfulness list!

Jenson Family Pictures

As most of you know my Mom had her knee replaced and all of us sisters went to help take care of her for a week. While we were there, we updated our pictures.

Above --- all 7 of us...

Grandparents and the grandkids...all 3 (Daniel, Aubree, and Jace), except the one on the way (Joy is due in January with a little boy).

Willow Beach Fish Hatchery

While I was visiting the family in Henderson, we decided to take a field trip with the kids to the fish hatchery. Jereelyn brought Tony and Triny, I brought Jace, and Judee brought Daniel and Aubree. After the long drive...about an hour we arrived and the kids loved seeing all the fish. It was fun, but made for a long morning!

My airport security experience!

Yesterday, Jace, my great grandma (GG), and I went to the airport to fly home to Henderson to see the family. Everything was going great and just as I was thinking we were free and clear to go to the gate, one of the TSA officers said "who's bag is this?" Of course it was mine....I was thinking I have nothing in there that could be of a security risk. She asked me if she could search my bag and I said "yes, of course". I have nothing to hide. She mentioned in passing that they thought there was ammunition in my bag. For a moment, I thought she was crazy, but then it dawned on me that I have a bullet key chain on my key ring. Now jumping back in the last year...I have flown at least 4 times and this was never questioned. Well, it was yesterday...and I totally felt like a criminal/terrorist. She removed the bullet from my key ring and then said "For obvious reasons we are going to have to confiscate this". I felt so dumb for not even thinking about it, but I do have to give myself credit....those of you who have taken a child with you on the plane....there is so much to pack and worry about, the least of my worries was a bullet on my key ring. I am thankful for their security and their efforts to try and protect us and keep us safe, but seriously, I was so embarrassed and now I will have to find me a new bullet key chain (not to hard to do, really). I just thought I would share this hilarious embarrassing moment...Enjoy!
