December - February with pictures...

It has been such a long time since I added any pictures

or that I have felt like adding anything fun. But, things are

starting to get better!

CHRISTMAS!!!

For Christmas I made some cute aprons for some friends.

I did have some help, but didn't they turn out

totally adorable!! I had already mailed, or wrapped the others

but they all looked like this.

Now, I had this picture turned the right way and I have no idea

what happened to it. But I love our red and silver Christmas tree.

RETURNED WITH HONOR!!!

January 8, 2010 at 6:04 in the morning, my dad passed away.

I feel like I am doing better now,

spoke too soon,I just started crying.

I have to keep reminding myself that he

is so much happier now.

He has full use of his mind and body and his

spirit is no longer trapped.

But, truth be told, I have always been a little selfish,

and I REALLY miss him!!!

This picture was taken at my cousins wedding years ago when he was healthy.
Doesn't he look so darn cute!!!

This picture was taken at my little brothers wedding in

September of 2007. Could anyone ask for better parents, and

examples in the gospel? My parents have always been such ROCKS

in being steadfast throughout life, and my AMAZING mom is

continuing to be that EXAMPLE for all her children.

I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!!!!!


VALENTINES DAY

I have the best nieces and nephews in the world!

They all know that I have had the lap band surgery and

are always amazing at the small amounts of food I

eat, and that they fill me up! Being so cautious and aware of this

situation, they made a special heart shaped cookie for me!

Isn't that AWESOME!!!!!

This makes me feel a little better...

Neal A. Maxwell said:

"On the other side of the veil, there are perhaps seventy billion people. They need the same gospel, and releases occur here to aid the Lords work there. Each release of a righteous individual from this life is also a call to new labors. Those who have true hope understand this. Therefore, though we miss the departed righteous so much here, hundreds feel their reach there. One day, those hundreds will thank the bereaved for gracefully forgoing the extended association with choice individuals here, in order that they could help hundreds there. In God’s ecology, talent and love are never wasted. The hopeful understand this too."

Why is it still so hard...
