I forgot my adapter to put my pictures of my side of the families pictures on, all the pictures on here are from Justin's side of the family. I'll have to add my side of the families picture later.

The hoiliday season

So this past week has been a blast. Christmas was amazing, I must say I got rather spoiled on both sides. But the best Christmas present of all was that I got to talk to Justin! Oh my gosh I was so excited to talk to him. He's a little homesick, but what missionary isn't at Christmas time? It cracks me up because he was saying how cold it was at fifty some odd degrees. He said it's a "different" kind of cold. He said he's going to take me to Arizona in the winter time when he gets home to prove that it really is cold and that he's not just crazy. He hasn't been away from Utah long enough to know what cold really is! My parents keep our house at five degrees I sweart! Not a fan of the cold, i'm excited for it to warm up again. But anyway, Christmas was very good, only one thing would have made it better, but one more Christmas without Justin and everything will be complete in my life. Thats the only thing I wanted for Christmas was my missionary in Arizona, but I didn't get it. Santa told me to be patient, and I will have him soon enough. I hope that everyone has been having a good holiday season, and a happy new year!

Hoo-ra!

So I was on facebook, and my friend, Nate from school, started chatting with me. He asked me if I passed all of my classes and I didn't know. So I went and checked, and turns out I PASSED ALL MY CLASSES!!! I am so freakin stoked. So that made my day! It's been okay to be home, but I do miss Ephraim a lot, but I know things will all work out for the best. Justin is doing really well, he just had a baptism and spoke in church and at the baptism. He is doing really good. I am so proud of him! He is the most outstanding person I have ever met, and I get to talk to him on Christmas!! I am really looking forward to that. Also another fun thing that happened this week, my family had our Christmas party and "Mr. and Mrs. Clause" came to visit us (it actually was Justins parents, Joel and Robin) They did an awesome job and my nephews were so excited to see them. My oldest nephew, Zack was my favorite to watch. When they left, Zack was like, "oh my gosh! I can't believe I got to meet the real Santa Clause!! It was really fun to be with all of my family and not just some of them. I had a blast. Good times.

Bo and Jo (hey that rhymes!)

This was actually last night, not this weekend. Happy birthday Katie!So I officially had my last weekend as a student in Ephraim, Utah. :( I'm not going to lie, I am heart broken. But like my mom keeps telling me, "you have to move forward in your life" and I know it's my decision to leave and all but I can't help that I am super sad to be leaving all my friends, a job that I love and most of all, my roommates. But this weekend was a blast! there must have been something in our water because we were all one! we were so hyper! The girls across the hall came over and played with us. Here are some pictures of our crazy weekend.

Some updates on my family, my sister Aimee is having another boy! the boys are starting to outnumber the girls!! My cute little nephew, Reed had surgery and Katee said that he did fabulous and is doing really great. I move back home on Saturday, and finals are stressing me out! thank goodness the semester is almost over for that reason. Justin is doing really well. He seems more uplifting every letter I get. I am amazed with how outstanding he is. I am so lucky to have him in my life. He is a true blessing in my life and I love him to death! I just want to tell my roommates how much I love them and how much I have enjoyed living with them. Love you guys!
