Saying Goodbye to 2011

This year has been one full of great adventures, milestones, and adversity.  We will never forget our trip to Europe.  It was a once in a lifetime experience and such a great time to reconnect and leave our cares behind. 

This year, Porter started Kindergarten and is growing in leaps and bounds.  He is such a great reader and loves school. He is so kind to his sister and such a great helper for his mommy.  He is his daddy's little shadow and loves playing anything with him.

 Khloe started preschool and loves dance.  She is more hesitant than Porter to be dropped off.  Who am I kidding?  She has to be shoved through the door.  But once inside, she is just fine.  She loves her little friends and is quite the social girl.  She is a little mommy and is 100% girl.

  Davy keeps working so hard for our family and does it with a smile on his face.  We are excited for 2012 to bring more fruits for all of his labor!  So proud that he did another triathalon this year and won it all in PG rec basketball.  Good times. 

As for me, I started working for UVU evaluating student teaching and appreciate the chance to share my expertise and experience with others.  It is nice to feel like I am contributing and stretching myself.  It has also made me appreciate my little ones a bit more and cherish our time together.  I love being their mom. I got released from Stake YW and now teach CTR 5.  I'll be Porter's teacher in 2012 and couldn't be more excited.

As always, I am thankful for one more year of enjoying this journey with my best friend.  Davy makes me a better person every day and shows me more love than I ever imagined.  I feel so fortunate that we were sealed in the temple ten years ago and that through honoring our covenants, we'll be together forever.  We have been side by side through so much these past 10 years.  And because of one another we have come through it all with a smile on our face, more resolute, closer to each other, more determined to live our lives righetously, and with a stronger testimony of what we know is true.  What a blessing it is to have one another.  Everyone should be so lucky!  "I wouldn't want it any other way!" Love you!
