Coming to An End..

It has been another good year! The past 12 months were filled with joy, laughter, tears, sadness, stress, caos, and love. I feel that I've grown immensely due to many events that have taken place. I am more aware, more knowledgeable, and more understanding of the plan Heavenly Father has created for me and those around me. I most of all, have a deeper love and appreciation for my Savior. I am so grateful for the things that I go through, both the good and not-so-good, and for I what I can learn!
This holiday season was just great! I love having so many days to hang with my family!
A few of us got to go to the Train Park and had a blast!

This is the last Christmas our picture for Santa will look like this. I can't believe I'm going to be an only child!
Melinda is getting married in less than 3 weeks so I just need to express my love for her. I am going to miss having a friend like her here at home. She has been a person I have learned serious responsibility from. Mel has such a strong testimony of the gospel which I have grown so much from. She has also taught me the importance of service..from me taking her clothes to her doing my hair whenever I ask, she is always there to help me! Her funny jokes (that she likes to laugh at herself) and her hilarious run, we will be waiting their return everytime she comes home to visit! But I am so excited that she has met her eternal companion! Stephen is such a great guy and I couldn't be happier for them! I love you La La!!
Now I cannot believe my senior year is half over! And I can't even begin to imagine what the new year will bring! But I am so anxious and ready for whatever is to come! While Bre was down for the week, she decided to rub in how old I'm getting and take my Senior Pics! This girl is amazing at what she does...

And last of all, my bestest friend graduated from high school this past semester. She has bigger and better places to go..aka BYU Idaho! I am so grateful her strength and example! I can't believe how times flies.
BRING IT ON 2010!

Tis the Season.

The festivities are here!I started it off with the last and biggest ASU game of the year and had a blast!
Then my little Laners had his big 3rd birthday!Rusty James had his BIRTH day next! He is so cute and petite.

Thanksgiving was a wonderful day filled with family and food..both which I love dearly! :]
As November 28th rolled around my heart was so full. I think about Gunner daily and how all of our lives have changed since he entered this world then returned home once again. Our family has most definitely grown closer and more understanding of the wonderful gospel which we are apart. I miss my sweet nephew but know I've gotta do my best every hour of every day so I can see him once again someday. I love you Gunny Bunns!
Life doesn't stop though so November came and went..now December is here.
And that meant Winter Formal!!
We had a day activity 2 weeks early which was THE IRON CHEF! Zach and I were the best for sure.

This past weekend we got all dressed up and went to the dance. It was so much fun! Glad the stress is over though :]

This whole week I have Holiday Dinners for choir. I get to sing Christmas songs for 3 1/2 hours every night! I am pretty lucky to have such an amazing support system in my life.I love this season and most of all I love my Savior and family. I can't wait for Bre and Martin to get back so we can all spend Christmas together.
Stephie Lou is celebrating a birthday as well this week! I love my oldest sis more than she knows. She is such a great example of the mother I want to become someday! Love youu!.And Merry Christmas in 15 days!!
