WOW, tomorrow is December :) I love this time of year and although I wish I were closer to my family I still love decorating, shopping, baking and being thankful for everything I have and have been blessed with. My beautiful family is so amazing and I am so blessed to have them in my life. Thanks for all you do and continue to do for me...xoxo I am truly lucky!

Just a short update...
Alex is almost finish with her first semester of college and what a ride. The adjusment was huge for both of us, and her soccer team made it to the conference championship but come up just short. Congratulations Alex!!!
Kiara finished her fall season of soccer with a first place finish and one tournament championship. We head to Georgia this weekend for another tournament. She also made the first cut for ODP. She seems to be adjusting very well and we are very proud of her.
Rhett really likes his new job and things are picking up. Look for his picture in News week due out in December :)
I am heading to NYC for the first time next week and can't wait to go play, shop and have fun. Pics will follow.

November

I can't believe that I am two months behind. I had such high hopes of keeping up to date! :) As today is 11.11.11 I thought I better update everyone on our lives as well as express how thankful I am to all the many soldiers past and present for your sacrifice for our country.

My life is well...its happening :) Alex just won her semifinal game and is now heading to the quarterfinals on Saturday in GA! Good Luck Alex :) Kiara's little team will have there last game on Saturday as well and if they win, they will be #1 and therefore move up to the top division. I am heading back to Utah next week to work for the week and I am very excited...I just wish my girls were coming along, but they both have school so they will have to wait until Christmas.

My amazing family came out to see me and watch the girls play soccer....I love them so much and I am so very blessed for the love and support they give me everyday! Thank you Dean for driving them cross country for our little vacation I know it was hard, but I am very happy you did it! Three soccer games, Halloween, & Heather's birthday as well as us touring around Charleston South Carolina & North Carolina all in one short week. It was packed itinerary but we had alot of fun!!!

Next we have Thanksgiving and then before we know it, it is Christmas... 2011 is quickly coming to and end and with this year has brought so many changes in my life. Let's hope 2012 is not so eventful.

I will try and get my vacation pictures downloaded...we had alot of fun!
