songs for me.

i think it's really cool that blogger wouldn't let me post last night. so i am today!!


first off, school is kicking my butt. being on campus from 9 am to 5 30 pm two days a week is harder than i thought it would be! 


we have an empty house. my cute kiddies left yesterday and we are all pretty sad that we are stuck here without them! it was so fun to have them here. 


here's my cuties on christmas morning. 

i am missing them already! 

i am excited though for a new camera lens i just ordered thanks to my cute friend whitney, it should be here soon! can't wait to use it! 

the new year. here goes!

cheers to a new year! 2011 here we come. 


i hope this year, 2011, will bring me some great and exciting things.


it will bring me a brother from africa who has been gone for 16 months and 28 days. 
i hope it will bring me 
adventure,
happiness, 
spontaneity, 
warmth, 
friendship,  
memories,
and mostly -- change. 


i hope that it will bring me motivation to go to the gym and keep a steady schedule for improving my hot and important bod. 


i hope it will bring me to post on this blog more! i like this posting thing. 


i hope it will bring me determination to keep up on my new year's resolutions that i haven't quite come up with. it's only barely january 1st, i still have a few days to figure those out. 


i hope it will bring me the desire to pursue what little artistic ability i have and continue to do things i love! 
like making these pretty things:

and learning more about this thing:

i hope it will bring me desire to do things for other people that will bring happiness into my life. 


i hope it will bring me many things that i can remember forever. 


if only life could go as easy as keith urban says it is. man, would all of us be living the perfect life! 


i look forward to 2011. 

i hope it does me well!! 

christmas time is here.

Christmas is here. One of my favorite times of the year that's for sure. I love this holiday so much. I love to be with my family and see all the people I love. this past week brings a big change for me. it is time for a new beginning and a fresh start. i hope i can do the best i can and make some positive changes in my own personal life. i am excited for the new year, i hope to take advantage of the one and only "new year's resolutions".  


As of recent.. our bestest friend, Andrew's best friend, Dan, was called to Columbia on a mission. Here's a picture of our family with him the night before he left. Best of luck to Elder Maughan, we sure miss him!! 

here are some of my most favorite christmas decorations we have at our house. we are getting excited for austin and addy to come. i can't wait to see my kiddies. 

merry christmas. another year come and gone. and the last christmas adam will be gone! 


oh. and. i made some of my cute flowers for my first wedding. they turned out so cute.
