A Good Start

This year has started off great. I love my jobs and the people that they have introduced me to. I love the chance to be around volleyball and be coaching my girls. They are such a fun group and I have loved spending time with them. I have already seen them improve so much.

I have recently fallen in love with Pinterest. I told myself that I wouldn't, but it happened! Haha. There is so awesome stuff on there. I always love finding new ways to entertain myself! There are some great wedding rings on there too :)

Landon has now been gone for 461 days! Only 269 more left :) I can't wait to get my best friend home, but my other best friend leaves on her mission in only 9 weeks. I don't know what I will do without her! Life is good...I hope it is for all of you! :)

The Holidays at Home

I love the holiday season. There are so many wonderful stories of people giving and receiving. I had a wonderful holiday and was the recipient of many thoughtful gifts. I am surrounded by so many people who love me and it is a great feeling. I can't imagine having to spend the holidays away from family.

I got the opportunity to be part of a fundraiser for a young girl with an inoperable brain tumor. My friend put it together and did such a great job. I was in awe of the willingness of people to give! I live in such an amazing area. In just a few hours we raised about $2300 to give to this family. It gives me renewed faith in a world filled with so much evil.

As 2012 begins I have some new goals for myself and a much stronger testimony of the gospel. I am so thankful for the many experiences that I was given in 2011 that made me who I am in 2012. I am so excited for this new year to begin and see what it has in store. I also love that I can finally say that my best friend comes home this year! It's going to be a great year!! :) I hope that every person who reads this had an amazing holiday and that this new year brings many blessings!
