Holiday Fun

I say forget the count down to Christmas and go strong with the one til James and Diana come home! TWO MORE DAYS!!!!! And I just can't wait!!!

But for now my family enjoyed our time making my mom's amazing sugar cookies and some other sweet treats to give to our friends around town as we Christmas caroled to them tonight with the Missionaries! 

A special day to be HOME

Just yesterday, December 16th, marked Andrew's one year from being home from his mission in the Netherlands! I still remember that night at the Airport filled with tears of joy! But this year we filled the night with fun excitement! We spent it with my YSA friends! We started the night with Ice Skating and then a look at the Lights at the Zoo! We had such a fun that we had smiles on our rose colored faces!!! Too bad there wasn't any snow...!

Out for the Night

As so many people know I don't go out on dates very often nor do I even go out with friends because of my work schedual and with classes. Well this weekend was a bit different... not only did some of my friends and I go out to eat but we did someting too!!! We had a great time at the Mongolian Grill and then enjoyed ourselves to a couple rounds of bowling! We were in a scary area and new we had to leave after the round. So we went across town to a Starbucks and had a nice hot chocolate!

Service.

What is Thanksgiving all about then service! Our Home Teachers and the Sister Missionaries came over to our home to help us cut wood for the colder wether comming up. I was a bit sad because I had to work later and couldn't enjoy all the fun but we had quite the time!

I'm thankful for OHIO.

Thanksgiving morning and I was up and ready to watch Carrie run yet another 5K. I think one of these days I'll run a race with Carrie.... but for now, I'm good with just watching/ cheering her on to the finish line!!! 

I don't know what to say... I enjoy Thanksgiving and all the many things that I have and know. I'm so very blessed with my wonderful family. What more can I say?!!?!

Temple Trip

I always have a super awesome time going to the temple but this was different. I didn't just go with my siblings and/ or family but I drove down with other YSA members (Anna-Marie, Trevor, Mark and Rachel.) They are such a great group... too bad you couldn't be there with me in the car. It was great laughter and fun! Haha.  

But it doesn't matter who I go with, I can always feel the love of the Savior with me!

Tornado Watch in November?!!?!

Life can sometimes give you storms but I've never seen them like this! During my break from classes I stoped back at home because I had to get a few things done. As my mom and I were enjoying a hot cup of Hot Cocolate we saw this go right over our house with a big, huge gust of wind following it and then of course Rain! It was totlly awesome and crazy!
