Quality Time...

Before I left for the East Coast, H and I were able to make one last quick trip to St. George. This trip was definitely needed! If I had one wish, I would ask to live closer to my family... 
Watching H play with all of his cousins was so great! He loves being around the big kids and likes to think hes just as big as them. Plus, I loved the chance to hang out with my lovely sisters... We managed to get all 10 grandcuddles together and it was an absolute blast. Ranging from ages 10 years to 17 months, there was never a dull moment. We ate too much pizza, took way may too many pictures, and had too much fun at the splash pad!
I also got to spend a little time with others than mean the absolute world to me... (You know who you are) There is nothing better than the friends you choose to be your family! 
(With all the moving around I have misplaced my memory card with all the pictures I took in St. George... so the few I had on my phone will have to do) 

Mothers...

There are so many amazing women in my life that have been wonderful "mother figures" 

and taught me so much throughout the years. 

My Wonderful Sisters...

Lauren, Amanda, and Tracy have shown me what dedication and sacrifice means for your family. 

All three of these gorgeous women are perfect examples of loving, hardworking, selfless mothers. 

Thank you ladies for being some of my best-friends and helping prepare me for the next step in life.

My Awesome Mother-in-Law...

Laurin raised a wonderful man that I get the privilege of calling my husband. 

I am eternally grateful for you Laurin. 

Your devotion to your children and love is something that I hope to show 

to my children someday soon.

And Finally,

My Outstanding Mother...

This is my phenomenal Momma. 

Words could truly not express how special this lovely lady is.

She has been my greatest supporter, my best-friend, and one of my greatest examples. 

She has shown me what unconditional love truly is.

Momma, thank you for showing me the love of a mother. 

Thank you for all you do and have done.

You are one of the strongest women I know and I hope that I have grown to be somewhat like you.

Happy Mothers Day to these women in my life.

You all hold a special place in my heart and I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you!

One Blessed Year...

A year ago today I had the wonderful opportunity to

 share something special with B and these incredibly lovely ladies...

I cannot believe it has already been a year.

Mount Timpanogos was absolutely beautiful that crisp January morning

and I could not have been surrounded my more wonderful people.

B, thank you for being my strength.

Momma, thank you for encouraging me to reach my goals.

Tammy, thank you for reminding me to dream bigger. (and for being my amazing escort)

Lauren, my sweet sister, thank you for being there by my side every step of the way 

and for making this day that much more special by sharing it with me.
