New Years retroflection

As the New year came around I thought about 2008. I think It was the toughest year yet! I don't want to be a complainer but it REALLY was hard on me. Despite all the trials and pain, I'm still alive. . . I graduated from college, I've managed a full time job, I was a Relief Society president, I taught 4 year olds in primary, I visited AZ several times, I bought a new car (. . and named her lilly), and moved out of my parents' (then moved back in). After all I been through I am now stronger. With the help of the Lord and a number of friends and family (You know who your are) I did it! Thanks to all of you who held my hand through my rocky spots and wiped my tears when I cried!! I have made it to a NEW YEAR! Bring it on 2009!

Happy New Year eveyone!!

Gingerbread houses, hot cocoa and Christmas carols

Brian and I had a great time putting together this wonderful master piece in celebration of the Christmas season!

We listened to Trans Siberian Orchestera and sipped on hot cocoa that didn't really tast that great.

I think we did a pretty good job if I say so myself.
