We're moving!

Well its time to play a little catch up! I'm surprised at myself. Here it is January 24th and a lot has gone on. January 3rd I went to my friend Sarah's wedding were I was a bridesmaid. Super fun and she was beautiful. It was a great reminder in the temple about what is really important.

Also in January, I started going country dancing on Wednesday nights! I used to know all that stuff but it's been a few years now but is is all coming back. I look forward to it each week!

Last Saturday, Dad and the boys and I took of for beautiful Washington. We have finally leased our house there which puts us in a position to buy one here in Logan! So we went up to Vancouver to pack all our stuff into ABF trailers. It was three days of hard work but it was wonderful to be in the NW again! I woke up the first morning there and enjoyed every breath I took during my quick walk around the yard. I will miss that beautiful home and all the memories of Vancouver. I visited the Clark Singles Ward and of course, hung with my best friend E. 

Tuesday we went to the Portland temple and enjoyed an endowment session together. I sure miss that temple. Afterward we went out for dessert for E's birthday. Just good times together. 

Last night I went to the Sports Academy here in Logan. They have a gymnastics room where I spent the whole night. It was crazy! After ten plus years away from gymnastics I managed a round-off back tuck! It was exhilarating! I came home dead tired and sore though. I can't believe I used to do that everyday!

So, its been a busy month and its almost over already. But I have enjoyed most every minute! I have yet to go snow shoeing or cross country skiing so look forward to those posts. For now, here's me signing out from Cache Valley.

Welcoming 2009!

Just like Christmas, this New Years has been different from any other. Most of my siblings are back at school, home, etc. The boys and dad are up in WA at the house and Mom decided to spend the evening with her mother and sister down in Perry. Usually we play games and eat all kinds of food but this year I was home alone so I went out seeking adventure. I went to a friend's party for a few hours and then to the Institute dance and finished at another friend's house playing card games. The music at the Institute dance was kinda lame so we didn't stick around on the dance floor very long. We tried the speed dating and that turned out to just be long. Some of the guys were interesting but lets face it, it's speed dating. :)

When we got to my friends house it was 15 minutes to midnight. I got my sparklers and little fire works from my car and we got things all ready. I've had these fireworks since July 4th and I was excited to use them! I was even more excited when I discovered that my friend likes to run and dance with sparklers just like me! Here are some fun shots of us dancing the new year in!

So, it was a different New Years eve but still a good one. This last year has been an amazing one. I remember it was last January when I found out I was accepted to the Jerusalem study abroad program. Then I finished my last semester at BYU and spent the summer in Jerusalem and then playing in Provo. Then in September I moved to Logan and it has been a wonderful thing to be here. I'm still adjusting but learning so much. I have my goals all ready for the new year I'm just going to take a little time tomorrow and put together some statements of faith to see my goals through. I'm excited for a new year to live and see what blessings Father in Heaven has in store for me! I am so blessed to know that whatever it brings, I understand the important things in life and will see it all through with a smile! So Happy New Year! Hope this year is the best yet!
