Holy night....

Christmas came and went...New years happened...Now it's almost January 3rd! I'm REALLY falling behind... AMAZING news though! Gabe's coming January 14th for my birthday! That's in 2 weeks! I'm so excited I can't stand it! It's finally happening...I need to go to bed now though seeing as how church starts at 9 am now. Whoopee....

Goodnight!

Thanksgiving

This year we went to Emily and Jeremy's for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun. Kris, Becky, Evie, and Maddie came too. It's been so long since we've had everyone together like that. The weather was beautiful. Cold but beautiful! On Friday we went to This Is The Place monument and went on the little train ride there. The kids loved it. Afterwards we walked around the different little pioneer homes and saw some horses and baby cows. Oh my goodness they were so cute! Their hair was still soft and wispy. So cute. Sadly on Saturday we came home. I miss my boys so much. Justin wouldn't let go of me. He held me so tight and begged me to stay or tried to get me to take him home. I wish I could've. I wish I could've brought them ALL home with me! It was such a fun trip. Short but fun. We need more like those in our lives. I love my family so much and miss having them close to me. Thank goodness for phones and facebook!

I'm horrible...

I've been so bad at updating my blog these past few months! It's not like I don't have time... I have plenty of time! I guess not a lot has been happening lately. However I did just go to lunch at Olive Garden with Sis VanBuskirk and Sara. It was so fun. It was good to hear about Daniel. He's doing such a great job on his mission. I'm so proud of him. Gabe and I are still doing quite well. He makes me so happy. He's so stinkin cute. My calling is still a little crazy. Primary in general is just crazy. Those kids are nuts! But pretty cute at the same time. We're going to Emily's in a couple weeks for Thanksgiving! I'm so excited! I miss my boys! They're gettin so big. Ethan's talking A LOT more now. And of course I'm not there to see it! AND THEN if all goes well...I'll fly to Indiana December 6th to see Gabe! I hope I can. I'm getting so excited. But that's pretty much all that's going on for now. I'll try to write sooner if I remember. Ha!

Happy Veteran's Day!

I did it!

Today I got my patriarchal blessing! I'm a lover. It talked about how my I love people and how much I will help them. I am so happy and so proud of myself. I will never forget this day. Ever.

My Gosh!

I just realized it's been over a month since I've updated anything! Aah! I'm a little behind I suppose but I don't think anything has even happened really. I haven't gone anywhere...I haven't done anything. I'm still trying to find work and my sister's still trying to get me to move back to Vegas. It's a little hard though when you are flat broke, heh. Um today was a good day though. We're starting practice for the primary program. I felt like a little kid again. I couldn't stop fidgitting! Those poor kids. I remember it all too well and now I get to do it all over again! The kids are so cute though. It's so hard to stay flustered at them. That's pretty much all that's going on right now. OH! I'm getting my patriarchal blessing on the 18th. At least that's the goal but I might have to change it so my dad can come. And my sister might come down too :D I hope she can! That would be perfect. I wish Gabe could be there too but he's a couple thousand miles away right now, heh. O well. In due time. Anyways I better get to bed. Evie's third birthday party is tomorrow! She's getting so big. Where does time go!?

Goodnight!

Sleep...

I can't seem to fall asleep for some reason. Maybe it's because I haven't actually tried...blah! Why is it late at night you remember all the little things you need to get done so you decide to do them even though your dead tired?? And to think my mom's waking me up in 4 hours so we can go walking. I'm going to be a zombie! So I suppose I should try and hit the sack. I'll hopefully write more later today.

G'night!

Dreams...

So Gabe's mom had a dream about me. Clear back in the beginning of July before she even knew me. She dreamt I was Gabe's wife. I got the weirdest feeling when he told me. It was a feeling of comfort. Like that was what's going to happen. Since I've met Gabe everything's been amazing. Of course life still has its ups and downs but that's life! I just feel great about life now since I know where I'm headed somewhat. I'm so grateful for the power of prayer and for the closeness of my Heavenly Father. I'm so grateful to know that he's always listening. I love getting good answers to prayers! The rest of my life is going to be a blast!
