Thanksgiving brings changes.

I went over to some really really good friends of our families for Thanksgiving. They are closer to me then any cousins I have so thats what we call each other. Now that is cleared up I got to spend the whole weekend there. Amber comes from this family and it was so good to spend time with her and to stay up late talking and watching movies just to fall asleep and wake up and try to watch them the next day falling asleep all over again. She is my replacement sister as I have been down here and really love having her around. They took such good care of me while I was there they really are a blessing to me!

Now for the bad news, once I got home from this fantastic weekend it was to the realization that I would need to be leaving my home here with Jill and the girls. I am so sad that things didn't work out they way they were supposed to and have already shed some tears even though I'm sure there will be more. I love them so much and have been my family here for the past 3 months. I know I will always try to visit them when I am down this way and will keep in touch. They are really great and it will be sad to leave but right now that is what I need to do. Things didn't work out with Jennifer and I need something that will be paying me more money so I can go to Europe and save up for my mission. I will be going home for the holidays and trying to figure out my next step after that.

Here are the pictures of Thanksgiving and my weekend with Amber and her family.

Ambers idea :)

It really was a fun weekend! It was a good weekend without having to worry about kids at all and getting a little break. Even though at the time I didn't know I would be having a bigger break then was to be expected from the girls :( I know things happen for a reason and I will be ok even if sometimes it doesn't seem like I will. There are harder things out there to go through and its time to move forward.
