Home for the Holidays

well today marks one month until i will be married to my best friend. its getting crazy all the planning but i am still very excited. i came home to vegas for christmas. i got home and missed jordan like crazy. its so weird that being with him for only a few months has made it so very hard to be away from him. friday we went to my grandma & grandpa brooks' house for christmas eve. it seems to be getting more and more interesting the older i get. haha. i asked for quilting boards and what do you know... I GOT THEM. everyone make fun but at least i know to quilt. the next morning i woke up early and hung out. mom made us waffles after we opened gifts. i was pretty excited about what i got but felt like a dud for what i gave. this whole not working thing is wearing on me. we went and saw little fockers [which ps was not that great and i was annoyed that parents dropped there kids off like it was a babysitting movie... note to self-never use a movie at a casino as a nany service] we got home and had dinner and sat around. my mom was bummed that no other family was over. she hates when no one is around especially considering this is my last year at both holidays. the next day was sunday-the fam and i went to church. one of my old young women girls played a christmas song that she wrote. it was so awesome. i love her & all the other girls for that matter! we got home and i headed to the airport to pick up my "christmas surprise". jordan came to spend the rest of the week with me. tuesday bryce, my dad, and mom left and went to arizona for an event. bryan turned 21. and now i feel like a grandma. we are going home tomorrow early morning and have a ton to start getting done!

its almost 2011

so here's the things i was thankful for in 2010:

1. the atonement.

2. my family.

3. getting to know jord, dating him, & getting engaged.

4. bryan having the opportunity to head to the real USC.

5. bryce being drafted & signing with the nats.

6. getting to know my new family.

7. moving to wyoming.

8. the beautiful snow & weather.

9. the love my family & the Lord gives to me.

10. that in 2011 i will be married to BEST FRIEND!
