Best Girlfriends

I have always been an on-the-move girl, so the adjustment to staying home with Elsie has been a little difficult. I was frustrated with being cooped up at first, but as she is growing and learning, I am finding much joy in our time at home. We are getting to be best girlfriends, and actually have a lot in common.

* We love doing pilates and "feeling the burn" together.

* We visit fabric and craft stores and bounce style and decor ideas off each other.

* We both have a serious addiction to all things pink.

* We could sit at the piano for hours playing and enjoying sweet melodies.

* We love to cuddle and take naps together

Sorry dad, but this is one loop you're out of. I am so thankful Heavenly Father gave me a baby girl to play with and laugh with, who helps me feel the spirit every day.

two years and a baby later...

8*8*10-- Can it really be that two whole years have past since I married my true love in the Bountiful Temple? Four moves, 137 spaghetti dinners, 4,985 kisses, and one baby later, I am ready to take on anything with our little family. Being married for eternity is a greater blessing than I ever could have imagined. I am thankful to have someone by my side to laugh and cry with, who will always lift me up when I am down. Alan is the patient, kind, hardworking, humorous man of my dreams. His not only puts up with me, but loves and accepts me with all of my flaws. He is so wonderful with our daughter and I look forward to many great years to come. Bring on graduate school, another move, more babies, and everything else! "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all."

** Elsie is getting to be such a chunk, so my mom to a few pictures so I can always remember her fabulous rolls.
