Now, this is what I call way back! This is me and my baby sister, Danielle. This was in December1985. I think that was my favorite Christmas ever! To be a big sister and have someone to pick on, instead of being picked on. ;) j/k. I am so grateful for her in my life, she definitely has filled my life with joy. I just pray and hope I fulfilled my roll as a big sister. I know I did the best I could and will continue to do my best! Thanks to my big sisters! I love you all!! My family is the best!

On a scale of 1 to 10 of being trained, Corrine says I am a seven. I wish I knew if that is a good thing or a bad thing (good for her at least ...). I guess that means I'm all ready for marriage ;)

We have one more week left of school (classes end this Thursday), then finals. It'll be a stressful, but fun week. We'll be renting out a storage unit for our apartment after this coming week. We just bought a coffee and two side tables today to put in it. I think I'm starting to get into decorating. Hopefully all that HGTV and TLC T.V. watching with my mom will pay off (hah!).

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
I thought this would be appropriate because it is a way back, fourth of July. Man, those were fun times. It was a family tradition to go to a certain park, I think it was is Garland, (I so could be wrong). And we would watch the fire works, while a band played. Every time I went I would think, I wonder if this is what Woodstock was like? Funny, huh? There was always tons of people and a lot of drinking. But we kept to ourselves and sat on our blanket. Danielle and I always tried to get dad to buy things for us, anything really, food, glow in the dark things, just anything. He always said it was a waist of money. ;) I love you daddy. We really were a fun family. Mom and Dad always tried their best, and I thank them for that!! I will always remember those times, they mean the most to me.

May everyone have a fun and safe holiday and remember those who protect our country and fought to make it free.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTOFER!!

This past weekend I the time of my life, with quite a bit of craziness! Kristofer and I went down to SLC to take our engagement pictures and my bridal pictures. It was so much fun! Even my mom and all my sisters were there! I loved it! I even got a really great sun burn ;) YAY, for me! anyway... now that is over the announcements are being prepared to be sent out. It was just so much fun to be with family again! I forget some times how much I really do miss them. We are all always laughing. I burn so many calories when I am around them. ;)

We also celebrated Kristofer's Birthday! Man, he is so cute. It was a great weekend!!
