Bye Sean!

My little brother Sean left on his mission on Wednesday. It was a sad day, I am sad, it was really hard for me to say goodbye. I am such a ball baby. I do not know how these young men do it, I have so much admiration and am so proud of him for making the right decision and serving the Lord. As much as I miss him, I am so excited to hear about his experiences and see him change people's lives with the gospel. We went to breakfast at the Village Inn before we headed down to the MTC. Here are some pics of Sean's day:

Wahoo!!

So I have been planning on graduating at the end of the summer, but a few weeks ago I had an epiphany that I had never transfered credits I took from SLCC. I got really excited thinking that this could help me be done after this semester, I got a transcript sent to the U and made an appointment with my advisor.....I AM GOING TO BE DONE IN THE SPRING!!!!! I have less than 4 months of school left! Can you tell I am just a little excited?

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas day with my family. It was great, our Christmas present this year was Disneyland so we all got to sleep in until 11:00 and spent the day playing Mariokart and eating more good food. I slacked on taking pictures, but I did take some of Sean and Chad when they decided to go out in the CRAZY snow blizzard to go sledding.

Christmas Eve

Chad's parents go all out on Christmas Eve for their 18 grandkids. It is so much fun to watch them open up their presents from Nanny and Papa-not to mention all the delicious food everyone brings!

Disneyland '08

This last week we went to Disneyland with my family. Sean is leaving on his mission in January and wanted to go on a family vacation before he left, Chad and I went last year at this time and really loved so we suggested it and everyone agreed! I LOVE Disneyland, I don't think I can even tell you why, it is just fun and I love to be there. And it is even better during Christmas time, everything is lit up and the castle looks amazing! I made sure my camera was charged and ready to go so enjoy!

Family Time

We are done with finals finally! The semester drug on for both of us, but we both think we did well! Chad went online to take his last final and found out that he had to get a password from the testing center at UVU-so he had a half an hour to get from our house in Riverton to UVU, luckily he made it!
We had a really good weekend with our families. It is not very often that all 8 kids are in town, but it happened last weekend. Chad's parents invited us all over for steaks and it was really great to see everyone!
One of my favorite thing about Christmas is going to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert, they are so amazing and always have extremely talented guests perform with them. We went with my family on Sunday morning, we love the Sunday morning performance because that is the one the prophet attends. It was so great to feel the spirit and remember why we celebrate Christmas. Sorry for no pictures..I brought my camera but did not realize it was out of battery-bummer huh..
