New Year

Good-bye 2010, hello 2011.  What a fabulous year I've had.  I have really enjoyed blogging and am so glad I started.  I began the year with a goal of blogging every day and I didn't quite make that but I think I did pretty good.  It's fun to look back at the old posts and see what I did.  I plan on blogging away into 2011 and hopefully just recording what I'm doing in my life.  Here's to a great new year!

Christmas

What a wonderful day!  Going to church at Christmas time is so special.  I truly enjoy going all year but at this time I love worshiping my Savior and enjoying my family.  My mom wrote the most touching letter to my siblings and I.  I cried all the way through it.  Brad even said it was the best part of the day.  I love being with my family and am so grateful for the wonderful adults they all are and for the fabulous grandchildren they are raising.  Austin and Carson are getting so big and we love them!  I know the years are going to fly by and before we know it, Brad and I will be great grandparents.  I can't wait.  Kevin is living in Spain and learning Spanish and when he gets home he will be a young man.  Caroline and Christian are just so sweet.  I loved watching them open their Christmas presents on Skype.  I love technology that helps me feel close to them.  I am so grateful for the birth of Christ and for his mission here on the earth.  The plan of salvation truly is the plan of happiness and the only way to really enjoy this life.  I've been on both sides and His side is the only way to true happiness.  Merry Christmas to everyone and especially to my loving husband and eternal companion.  "I would do it all again".
