Happy THANKSgiving

1.) Drive to Salt Lake with 6 kids and a dog with LOTS of rain, some snow, sleet and hail....

CHECK!

2.) Have Thanksgiving dinner with 34 relatives.

CHECK!

3.) Hold Adam's baptism, out-of-state, with 37 people coming, remembering to bring everything from Arizona AND don't stress when the first speaker shows up 25 minutes late and the presiding bishop forgets the baptism all together and someone has to go get him!

CHECK CHECK CHECK!!

4.) Have a Lundgreen family picture taken outside in the freezing cold, immediately after the baptism, before the luncheon even though our friend/photographer gets the flu and can't make it.....

CHECK!

WE DID IT!!!

What I am Thankful For These Past 3 Days:
1.) A 45 gallon gas tank = driving to Salt Lake on one tank of gas = only one 10 minutes potty break = drive to Salt Lake in 10 1/2 hours....
2.) Garden Park ward's beautiful building reserved for Thanksgiving dinner and Adam's baptism luncheon.
3.) Costco and Sams Club!!
4.) Disposable "china" and plastic "silver".
5.) Beautiful scenery and crisp air to jog in to get away... just for an hour...

6.) Advil to make the "oh-so-timely" cramping, headache and horrific varicose vein pain go AWAY when it wakes you up the morning of the baptism.
7.) Great friends to talk you down from stress overload over the phone (Thank you April!) and other friends that drive HOURS to come to a baptism and HELP you!!
(THANK YOU Suni and Shawna!!!!)
8.) Compact digital cameras that take pretty darn good pictures anyway!!
9.) A little boy oblivious to any stress ...... just so excited to get baptized surrounded by family and friends .... with a HUGE smile on his face!
