Happy New Year!!!

OK so not only am i officially the worst blogger ever, but i haven't been keeping up on other blogs either. I get so lost and distracted sometimes. I haven't posted about Christmas, or the new year, or heck i didn't even post about GETTING MARRIED!!! which has been over a month now. Everything went perfect. Mikel Forgot to bring his Tux to the temple, so i had to wait forever before we could walk out. And even then his uncle just let him borrow his suit jacket to take pictures in. It was funny, but i totally didn't care. I was just happy to be there, and to have gone through the temple with him and to have so many family and friends sitting there with us. It was incredible. Then we had a great Christmas together filled with family and fun. It was really great. I am excited for a new year! I know it is going to be a great year. I know it wont be perfect and there will be ups and downs, but i am ready for the adventures that will come... Here are a few of my favorite memories of the holidays that ended 2010. I am so grateful for awesome friends and family that are always there to support me and keep life great!!! Happy new year!!! Here's to new goals, new adventures, and a super 2011!!!

3 weeks!!

In 3 weeks Mikel and i will be getting married!! AH! How cool is that? We met with the stake president today to get our temple recommends signed. In two weeks we are going to get our endowments in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple so that on the 20th we can be sealed in the Bountiful temple. WHAT AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY!!! I am SO excited!! I am so grateful that Mikel is such a great guy and that we can have such a good relationship. I cant wait to share my everything with him and really become a family. After everything that has happened i am truly blessed to be where i am today. I am grateful for my testimony in the church and the faith that has brought me to this point in my journey. AND i am so grateful for the friends and family church leaders, YW leaders, teachers, everyone that has led me by example to continue with the church. I wouldnt be who i am today without the support of people i love and without my testimony in the church... Cant wait for the next chapter in this journey to begin, and definitely on the right path.

Temple Open House

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go with my family to the temple open house. It was SO beautiful! I loved watching the faces of my niece and nephew as we walked through the Temple. It was so fun. We had a BBQ before, and then all went over there together. It was a great experience. I live right by the temple, so i have had many opportunities to drive past it, but i never really appreciated it's beauty until now.

Congratulations Kristen!!

One of my best friends Kristen and her husband Eric were sealed in the Temple today. What an awesome day! I am so proud of them for their choice, and am grateful that my family got to spend the evening with their family and friends celebrate their family's decision to go to the temple together. I know that this is something they have been working on and that they wanted to do together and i am happy that they made it there! I love them so much and look up to their example. I am glad that even though the road is dark and stormy they have held strong, and found their way back to the gospel, i hope that i can turn my life around and remember my faith too!
