All grown up.......

So my baby sister Emma moved to Rexburg, Idaho yesterday to start school at BYU-Idaho. It is hard to believe she is actually that old. Hard to believe I am that old. I was able to stay in Montana with Emma and my parents the week before Christmas. We had a blast and it was so much fun to hang out with Emma before she moved to school. She even let me dye her hair.

(I plan on putting up pictures and such.....however I need to catch up from Halloween)

I am so excited for her. Austin kept laughing at me last night because I couldn't stop talking about it. I actually had to restrain myself from calling her time and time again. She is such an amazing example and such a sweetheart. She will do so awesome.

Love you Emmy!

Once upon a time my husband left two hours ago to go to the gym. I had to stay home to finish making 35 home made angel ornaments for my classes. Mostly I just want my husband to come back so I can at least have someone to talk to besides my glue gun.

The End.

'Tis the Season.....

Christmas must be on it's way....I just had to watch Christmas Vacation with my cute husband.

On a brighter note our we bought a Christmas tree and got it decorated.

Our continual thoughts and prayers go out to little Dakota F. and his family. I have not been able to stop thinking about them. Please add them to your prayers.

Be strong little guy!

Oh the weather outside is frightful......problem is, we have somewhere to go....stop the snow, stop the snow, stop the snow!

I think my post yesterday should have ended with, "knock on wood".

Nothing like the weather to dampen your Thanksgiving plans......now we're just trying to see if we'll actually be able to get to Montana. I-15 closed, I-84 closed, 180 through Evanston closed (we really wouldn't go through Evanston I'm just trying to be dramatic). Right now our only option is to drive up to Missoula (8 hours) and then over to Roberts (7 hours) and that is with ideal weather conditions, on top of that we can't even leave until 4:00 pm tomorrow.

Not to worry, we are still in a thankful/hopeful mood, even if we don't make it we have a lot to be thankful for.

But I am trying desperately not to freak out. As spread out as we are, our whole entire family only gets together 2-3 times a year. I understand life will go on, but...."ahhhhhh!" seems to sum up my feelings right about now.

Plus if we can't get out of here we were graciously offered a meal with Ken and Mari, which was nice because I had boldly stated to Aust earlier, "If we cant leave we are heading over to Ken and Mari's house invited or not." So needless to say we are grateful for an actual invitation. Nothing like amazing aunts and uncles to save the day.

Snow or no snow, I am so excited to be in Montana for Thanksgiving.

Counting down the days!

I really, Really, REALLY love candy canes!

So you think it'd be super fun and cozy, even dare I say romantic to have a wood burning stove in your bedroom......until you realize you've yet to use it, and the wind whistles like crazy during a storm, which is always when you're super tired but can't sleep, but you really want to be sleeping, if only that noise would stop....
