Awesome Website

My cute aunt Arvonne told me about the best website! It is called http://www.freebies2deals.com/

It is for free things and great deals/coupons for Utah stores. Everyone should go there and take a look. They have some really great deals!

I read this quote on my friend/old neighboor Natalie Andrews blog and simply loved it!!!

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

I hope that this is how I can live my life. With a smudge here and there to remember that life is really about living and helping those along the way!!!

Our one year anniversary!!

We have been married for one year!!!! It is so hard to believe that it has already been a year. It seems like just yesterday we were married! It has been a wonderful year of marriage. We have grown a lot together, have had some hard times, but mostly some fun and exciting times!!!

For our one year anniversary we spent the day skiing at brighton. It was so much fun. It was a bright sunny day with fresh snow on the mountains. We topped the day off by going to Rumbi, our favorite restraunt. (The place we went on our first date.) The whole day was a blast!!!

My sister's wedding!

On December 29, 2009 my sister Ali got married in the Bountiful temple to Erik Gunn. It was such a special and memoriable day! I am so excited for them to be married and start their lives together!!! We were so glad we could be with them all day. Here is some pictures from their wedding.

The bride (Ali) and groom (Erik) with my immediate family

This is my little brother Scott and his girlfriend Sarah

Love the flower look!

The reception. Who would have though to do orange and red together? But it turned out AWESOME!!!! It look beautiful and it was really fun!

I can't figure out how to take this one off. I accidentally put it on twice. opps!

Families are forever

This past weekend my little brother Scott was able to go through the temple for his first time! It was SUCH a neat experience to see him in the temple. It was the first time that my entire family has been in the temple together!!

Tyler with me.

My parents. They were so excited that all their kids made it to the temple!! They are great parents and have taught us so much! WE owe them a lot!

I love this picture! My goofy brother michael and sister in law (outlaw!) Sara Jean. They are in love.

This is my little bro Scott (the one who went through the temple) and his girlfriend Sarah. They are such good people. I am so proud of my little bro. Way to go scottie!!!

The whole crew at Robintinos. Our favorite Italian resturant.

CHRISTMAS

Every year my family watches How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Cartoon Version), on christmas eve. It is a fun way for us to remember the true meaning of christmas.

The Grinch Says it best:

It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... He thought ...means a little bit more.

To me christmas means a time of giving, a time of love, a time of family and a time to remember and celebrate our saviors life. I hope that the feelings of christmas and the spirit of christ felt during this holiday season, can last past christmas day, and that we can make each day mean a little bit more.

I hope everyone has a wonderful christmas and happy holidays!!!!

Miracles

So this past week has been crazy. I got my wisdom teeth out on thursday and have not been able to do much. Tyler has been really busy with school/church/LSAT. He took his final LSAT test on saturday morning!! WAHOO FOR THE LSAT BEING OVER!!! Our brakes also went out in our car this weekend so we had to take it to the shop. So it has been pretty nuts around our household. Thankfully we have great parents who were willing to come down and take care of me all weekend and make us dinner. They were life savors.

Okay so this morning my teeth were hurting and I had cramps. Tyler just laughed and said that it couldn't get worse. Well then we went outside to go and pick up his car and to our surpise my car had a flat tire! We must of ran over a nail or something the night before. So poor tyler is trying to get my spare tyler out in the cold when our sweetest neighboor drove by and offered us a ride. It was like a blessing from Heaven!!! She drove us down to pick up Tylers car which was a life savor. We were able to pick up my medicine a lot sooner too so which was really nice. It was so nice of our neighboor to help us out! It was a big miracle for us! Now we are finally feeling that our lives are being put back together!! It is amazing what a little helping hand can do.
