The end yet the beginning~

Well Happy holidays Everyone we hope that you all had a great Christmas and we look forward to a wonderful New Years! We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas evening with Wendy and Terry and and Sara and Bryon and the girls, and Grandma Arda. We had a GREAT Christmas and hope that you all did as well.This has been an amazing year! We are sad to see it come to an end, but with 2008 bringing many exciting things our way, we can't wait.With my sister Jenna graduating from High School, the arrival of the baby, and Jason coming home- this summer will be a busy one! We are proud to say that my Dad was able to be home through the holidays and we are hoping that's where he stays for awhile, what a strength he is to us and everyone who knows him. We are also pleased to say that Wendy has started Radiation and so far things are going well.... We love her dearly and know that things will go smoothly- we are with her every step of the way. I want to let our missionaries know how much we enjoyed talking to them on Christmas- that brought great joy into our lives and made for a wonderful Christmas Day! They both sounded so good and we are so proud of them for serving our Heavenly Father! We have recieved a TON of snow and it's still coming.... Bryan has enjoyed conquering it and plowing his way- will soon reach the top of the City Creek right behind our apartment. The goal being, to snowboard down the other side!!



Throughout this year Bryan and I have witnessed many testimony strengthening miracles and we are truly grateful for each of those opportunities. They have made us better, stronger people and brought us closer as a couple. Regardless of what form- everyone faces trial and tribulation- and we feel blessed to have experienced so much and yet remained strong. The Lord has blessed our lives in so many ways and we are so grateful. Bring on 2008- We’re ready!!!!!!
