Dear Boys,

365.

This picture was taken exactly one year ago today.

This picture is our last picture together.

Do you know what that means?

You guessed it!

The Missionary and I said,

"See you in two years."

ONE YEAR AGO!

Yup.

He's been gone for a year!

Well...

See you in a year Elder!

:-)

Yes, you are.

"Pretty is what you are.

Beauty is what you do with it."

Pucker Up!

Kissing Chain.

Rules: 

All kisses must be caught on film.

Kisses must be on the cheek or lips (Personal digression)

Ready, Set, Go.

Did I participate in this event?

Oh yes I did :-)

Gotta love school events!

Catching up.

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Doesn't life get busy?

Well here is a run down of the past couple of weeks

Roadtrip to St. George...

Random Event

I may or may not have fish.

6 of them.

Living in a makeshift fishtank.

On my desk shelf.

May or may not

:-)

Isn't that the truth?

"Trust is like a paper. 

Once it's crumpled, it can't be perfect again."

Shoes.

Sitting in the apartment.

Watching Glee with some of the roommates.

As I glance about the room,

I am always pleased to see our bookshelf.

Two rows of movies.

And...

The rest is full of...

Shoes.

Yes, shoes.

The best piece of artwork ever.

Be jealous.

Quite Pleased...

I'm sitting at my kitchen counter.

Watching the sister make Snickerdoodle cookies from scratch

Yum.

The nephew is sitting in his high chair watching his Momma and eating Goldfishies

Delicious.

The Brother is sitting next to me on a bar stool just being apart of it all.

Family is such a blessing.

It just doesn't get much better than this.

Positive

Everything will turn out how it is supposed to.

Of that I am sure.

The Unexpected

We live in a beautiful world full of beautiful places.

We each have a beautiful body.

We each get to live whatever life we choose.

It is truly a beautiful thing this life we get to live.

Now I know that we do not have complete control of everything

But I think that is my favorite part...

Sometimes things go horribly unexpected.

Sometimes the wonderful unexpected happens.

No matter what happens we ALWAYS do get to choose how we react to everything.

These days I am choosing to embrace the unexpected.

I am loving the unexpected.

Wonderful & Scary Unexpected.

:-)
