It's been a year!

There has been a lot of things going on at our house. Most of us have been doing really well with our resolutions. Dan and I want to have our own little family home eveings, since we are the nursery leaders in our ward. I love participating in the nursery. They only have little attention spands, and it gives me an excuse for giving them treats. It's been a growing experience.

D turned one this last December and this is one of our pictures. We have the JCPennys Club Card. It gives us really great deals for portraits. It's twenty dollars to sign up and you never have to pay sitting fees. It only lasts about two years. This was the suit D wore when we went to the temple. I have some other patterns for suits for him, but I never seem to sit down. ~UPDATES!!! D has learned to go up and down the stairs! We made sure that he could do that shortly after he started walking. It amazes me how fast he learns and grows. He is not quite as tall as the nursery kids. But I'm glad that he shares!!

Dan's cousin Audrey is getting married again. I am so happy for them!!! And Amy (Audrey's sister) is having twins!!! Man-o-Man!!! she is due Sept. 8! (she's a doctor). Well there is a lot going on right now so I better update some stuff and get going before D wakes up. Toodles!!!

Were here!

It took us what seemed like forever to get here, but the snow did not stop us! We're staying with my folks for the Christmas week. I haven't seen any of them since March this year.

Today was the BiG Day!!!

We took some pictures outside the temple today, but I always forget how to load them, so one day I will post them. We were officially a forever family this morning at eleven. It was really exciting because the temple president Christiansen presided over our sealing. He made the experience so much more than expected and I am really greatful for such a wonderful family to behold. We didn't take many pictures, because we are planning to take some later professionally. Hopefully we will be able to get the whole family together. I was disappointed that my side of the family wasn't able to come, but I know they wanted to (and I was determined to not let it get to me as I thought of them). D was asleep the entire time! But everyone said that he played very cute with all the workers!
I was able to go to a Movie night held by our Relief Society on Friday night. We all came in our Pajama's and watched the Emma Smith movie. I really liked some of the advise she gave her daughter. Something made me feel like I should try and remeber. I can't remember exactly what she said but it was something .... Strength doesn't come all at once. It comes one day at a time....She also made some awesome analogies about the river. I can't exactly remember those either, but I wrote them in my journal and I would suggest the movie to anyone who isn't having the best time in their life.

It's NOT something that made me think "O-Gee, I know my troubles will never be that hard."
I kept thinking there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, and I left feeling -- if she can go through all of that on her faith than I must be able to get through this if i know I can!!!

I appreciate anyone who came and supported us today, near and far! We love you. Thanks!!!
