Easter 2008

One of the greatest blessings I have recieved in the past year is having my family so close. I have really began to have more appreication for them and enjoyed spending many holidays with them. I am so grateful that I have such good parents to lead and guide me in the right directions. They are some of my best friends and greatest strengths. I am so grateful also for such a wonderful family with siblings who love me no matter what. I love being able to spend times with my nieces and nephews and see them grow with their different personalities. I know that I am their favorite aunt without any question. :)

I am so grateful for the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is such a great example and without His help, I don't think I would be where I am today. This gospel is amazing and I am so blessed to be apart of it.

LIFE

So I have been a little busy with school, work, and all those fun things in life. I decided since I had some free time and good news I would share it. First of all, I have a new niece, her name is Hallie Sage and she was born on the 12th. I love having babies around as many of you know. Second exciting thing to happen to me is that I have changed my major to Nursing and I am really excited. I will start the nursing program hopefully in Fall 2009. Third is that I am almost done at the Business College. Life is great and for all your questions you might have about a boy, there isn't one. Sorry for the disappointment. :)

Roommate Christmas

So as roommates we decided we wanted to have a Christmas for each other and draw names. I gave one of my roommates a movie along with a bowl of candy, drinks, and chips. I got from my roommate the movie Clifford with Martin Short. I also got a dinosaur to go along with it and I was thrilled out of my mind. I wanted the movie for a while so that became one of my favorite gifts. If you have not seen that movie, you need to!!! My other roommate got a shirt and the last roommate which gave me Clifford got 100 cookie cutters so we will be able to have all different shapes of sugar cookies. I love my roommates and are grateful for them and the examples they are to me.

Christmas Break

Well I know it has been forever since I last posted something. I decided that I would post something so I could stop being harassed about updating my blog. I was able to go to my parents house in Springville for about a week and a half. It was nice to be with all the family and be able to keep the traditions alive. We played many games like usual and my mom cooked amazingly like she always does. Carly, Kaylie, and I also acted out the Nativity down by temple square a couple weeks before. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be with family and for Christ and being able to remember him during this Holiday season. I am grateful for all the things I have been given and I think once you get older, you begin to appreciate things more. I am truly grateful for everything. Thanks to everyone that helped me out through this year and Happy New Year!!!!!

Fall Pictures

So everyone was bothering me about not writing on my blog very much but the excuse I have been telling them is that is that I am a busy college student. So now I have time and I will add pictures for the enjoyment of everyone. :) Two weeks ago I decided I wanted to take pictures of the leaves changing colors before they were all gone. I had my chance and it was so great. We went to Memory Grove Park and it was amazing. It reminded me of the leaves in Nebraska but I do have to say that I don't think they were as good here in Salt Lake because Nebraska leaves have a special meaning in my life. :) Other than that, life is going great and I love my job and the weather here in Utah. I only wish it would stay this nice.

My New Niece- Rachel's Baby Blessing

On Labor Day weekend, my newest niece, Rachel was blessed in Nampa, Idaho. She is so cute and it was great to spend time with my family. All the family slept outside in tents, everyone but my sisters family and me. I loved seeing all the expressions on my nieces and nephews faces, they are so fun. I love being with family. The day of the blessing, we took family pictures after church, it was the first time in about a year that the whole family was together. I love the picture with all the cousins and the one with Madeline laying in the grass, they are all so cute.

Nebraska 2007

In July, Me, Brittany and Steven (Brittany's husband) went back to Nebraska for Tasha Mar's wedding. We left on a Friday and returned on Tuesday( so it was a really short trip). Lindsay Font came back to Utah with me and we had a great time. On the way back, we got tomagotchi's, yes that is right. It brought us back to our childhood days. :) Although it was a long drive back, we had fun seeing the people there. I loved being with all the girls again, what great fun we had. I was amazed at how much the Holmes Lake Ward has changed. I only new about half the people in the ward. I couldn't believe how big kids got in just a year. It was good to go back one last time and see my house, elementary school, and high school. It was a little hard saying goodbye to my home but I love having my family out here only an hour away.

Fun with Morgan and Jackson

It has been a while since I last added something so I figured I should add things that tell abot my life right now for the summer. A lot of these pictures are of my dad and my niece and nephew. It is so nice to have my parents here in Utah so I can visit them whenever I want. You don't really understand how important your parents are to you until you have actually had the chance to see what life is like by yourself. I think for this blog I will just express all my gratitude for my amazing parents. They have helped me through everything and I love that I am able to spend time with them when I want now that they are here in Utah. I also love that I can be with my niece, Morgan and nephew, Jackson when I want. It is such a great blessing. I love my family!!!! One of the pictures I love the most is the one with my nephew with his arms behind his back. Oh he is so cute. I love all these pics especially the one with my dog and me. Max is pretty amazing!!!!
