2 kids pretending to be grown-ups...

Doesn't ASU look nicer from above??

However, the new institute was FINALLY completed and it is fabulous, FREE parking and it is ON campus. "Us Mormon kids" have better parking than the professors. Almost everyone else has to pay at least $250 for parking and you still have to get bussed onto campus. Talk about a perk!!

I have a great friend named Ashley, however, most you know her as Lester. We have been best friends since the 9th grade which doesn't sound like that long ago right??? Guess, what that is 9 YEARS ago! Everyone who is my age, I just made you feel old didn't I??!! Anyways, yes I have many fabulous friends and each of you have great spot in my heart. However, Lester and I have been through some things together and lately, she has definetly had her share of trials. She had one crazy summer! And now she is happy and for once seems to finally "have it all" I am so excited for her and truly joyful for her. (did that sound WAY corny?)I am so lucky she doesn't read this, she would shoot me for posting this pic!

This is my family's annual christmas photo. And down below is my grandma and grandpa (my mom's parents). I have been extremely blessed to have my grandparents live good healthy lives. However, 2 of them are beginning to show their age and are having health complications. It is hard to see them get old and begin to tire out. They have all been energize bunnies. I think these next few years (hopefully, not months) will be hard watching them age but, I love them and I am grateful for all the time I have been given to spend with them. If you were to meet my grandparents (my dad's parents vs. my mom's parents) you would see that they are night and day. This has always been something that I have LOVED it has blessed so much in my life and given me some wonderful stories.

Last but, definitly not least...Mark and Carli. Some of you may remember Mark, he is my cousin who lives in Las Vegas and has came down here a few times. Mark and I have become great pals over the past few years (divorce makes you bond with your fellow divorced) and as you know he and Carli were married earlier this year. And yup, thats right folks they are pregnant. Expecting sometime in March.
