The new year is coming!

How was everybody’s Christmas?! I hope that it was as fantastical as mine was. I was able to spend time with a lot of family, and it was just a blast. We had so much fun.
Our day started off at 4 in the morning because Josh’s dad needed to leave for work at around 5:30. The kids were so excited! They got a Wii from Santa this year! The look on Breezy’s face was hilarious. She just kept blinking her eyes, and had this look of confusion on her face… and then she started giggling.
My mom also bought my sister and her three kids a Wii this year. My oldest Niece was allowed to open the present, and as she was opening it she was like “what is this?!” and then as it was all the way unwrapped she goes “Oh… Grammy got us a WII!” And my sister also had a look of confusion on her face… Which was quite hilarious.
I love watching people open presents. It is the best, because I love faces of excitement and happiness. :o)

So, a little over a month ago I posted this. And now that the holidays are over, Josh and I are going to start trying again. We will start in January… {it’s really perfect timing because it’s that… er… time right now and it will be over in January. Amazing!}
Josh gets new insurance because of his promotion and we are going to get that squared away tomorrow! Things are starting to fall into place, and I am super excited.

I go to this website: The Bump. It’s pretty perfect, actually because it has a lot of information about trying to conceive and advice on what you should do, what you shouldn’t do, and all sorts of other really helpful information. It also has a lot of information for ladies who are expecting. I really love this website. Another thing that I love about it, is that it allows you to sign up for emails with articles about trying to conceive or what your baby looks like during that week if you are expecting. I get emails a couple times a week I feel like with information that is specific to what I am looking for, and I absolutely love it.
Just today I got this article which offers advice for things to do to help you be better prepared for conceiving.
Josh and I are pretty excited to get the ball rolling. Things are starting to look up, and it’s going to be fantastic.

Christmas!

I was gone on Christmas Eve, so I didn’t get to take as many pictures as I wanted to. :( But, that’s alright. I can deal with that.
Here are some pictures that I was able to take before I went to my Aunt’s house.

Sister Chelso. She is singing. She will be mad that this is on here. :o)
I put a bad picture of me on here. Chelso took it. I also left B’s eyes red. She thinks it is cool.

Here are some after I got home…

Josh and I in our new Pajamas! {from Kohl’s}

10 things that have made me smile this week

1. Going to Sequim to visit Liz and her hubby
2. Super Mario Brothers Wii
3. Cleaning my room {weird that I listed that, but it was very satisfying}
4. Having a pizza date with my husband
5. Seeing Josh’s siblings be SO EXCITED that Christmas is so soon
6. Last minute Christmas shopping
7. Reading my Scriptures. Amazing.
8. Spending a whole day with my friend who is home from Rexburg, Idaho
9. Getting an e-mail from my math teacher --- I got 95% on my final exam! woohoo!
10. Relaxing with my love, watching movies we rented from Redbox. So bomb.

Last night Josh and I attempted to watch our Church’s Christmas Devotional, but for some strange reason it wouldn’t load. I think that it’s because of our internet that is terrible right now. I think it’s the weather, honestly. But anyways, we are going to try again. If you want to watch it please click on this colorful link and watch it. I am sure that it is simply amazing.

anyhoo…
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!!
Christmas is now upon us with only TWO MORE DAYS!!! It is going to be great.
This is an awesome time to reflect on the birth of our Savior, and his mission. I am so thankful for the Savior and for his sacrifice, and I so grateful to a loving God, our Father in Heaven, who was so willing to send his only begotten to live and to die for us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Cold

I missed my husband and my cats.
When I got home, my cats went crazy and snuggled me, it’s nice to know that I am missed when I am gone. :o)

I woke up this morning to this:

my cat, Boo Radley, curled around the heater in our room.

The Weekend

Just got to her place! This is the only 1/2 way normal picture of me. :o)

I went to Sequim, Washington. I visited my best friend and her new husband. We baked cookies. We ate two boxes of holiday Skittles, some Taco Bell, one whole bag of Rolo’s, we also ate {mostly me} a lot of cookies.
We played Super Mario Brothers for the Wii… for like 6 or 7 hours straight.
We slept in a lot {oh man, that was awesome}
I was able to help her with grading {she’s a 3rd grade teacher}

And now I am home. It was so fun. It was nice to be with my friend again.

Happy Friday!

My sister took this picture of me a few months ago. I was pretending to be her.

10 things that made me smile this week!

1. Waking up and realizing I didn’t have school or homework this week!
2. Talking to my dad. He is so silly, but I love him to pieces.
3. Getting a call from my friend telling me she is coming home this week :D
4. Seeing said friend tomorrow! {It hasn’t happened yet, but thinking about it makes me smile}
5.Weddings. I love weddings, and today my cousin and his lovely bride got married, and it was beautiful!
6. Christmas shopping!
7. Folding laundry. It’s kind of weird, but it’s very therapeutic for me. I love the warmness of the clothes, and how they smell soooo good!
8. Babysitting. Oh my word, I had to opportunity to watch a little boy yesterday, and he was the BOMB.COM! I loved that kid. He is HILARIOUS!
9. Snuggly cats. Always. :D
10. The fountain in front of the house when it gets super cold… because it freezes over. best.thing.ever. It’s so beautiful.

Have a great weekend! I am going to be gone all weekend visiting my bestie in Sequim! It’s going to be so fun! I will see you on Tuesday night!

Best Friends

hubs and I after driving from WA to UT all night long. We.Are.Beautiful.

Josh ditched his friends for half of the night last night to take me on a date. It was magical. We went to Wendy’s. And then we walked around the mall. Then I got a headache, and he took me home. {I feel a lot better now} he is truly a man after my own heart. We don’t have to do anything spectacular on a date… just as long as we are together. He is my love, and I love him dearly.
It’s going to kill me to be away from him for 2.5 days. {because I am seeing my other best friend this weekend!} But I will make it through because I will get to see him on Tuesday.
