Merry Christmas!

I hope that all of you were able to have a very merry Christmas!! Our first Christmas as a family was a good one!! We woke Paityn up around 7:30 and she tried to ignore me for a min, until I said Merry Christmas Pait. Then she shot out of bed and declared that she wanted to open all of her presents. I must say that she made out pretty dang good for such a little girl! Tons and tons of toys and clothes. Douglas and I had a great day as well! I love the holidays but will be glad when they are over because this means that we are that much closer to moving back home and being closer to our families and friends. I love you all and hope you had a great day everyone!!

The end is near!!!!!!!!

Ok first off no I have not lost my mind and am trying to predict the end of the world, I am however saying that there is an end in sight of us living out here in this ever so lovely town of Wendover!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!! Oh I have never been so excited to leave somewhere before in my entire life!!! The date that we can move is the 8th of January!!!! Now we just need to find somewhere to live up north so that we wont be homeless haha :) I probably wouldnt even mind if it meant that we could be out of here!!!!

Babies

There is nothing more precious or perfect than a new born baby! Last night my family was blessed with another baby, My brother Cortney and his wife Ashlee had their third little girl Mallory. I am so excited for them, and so excited to meet her!! My mom said that she is absolutely beautiful, lots and lots of black hair which is weird for their kids since their kids usually dont have hair until they are about 2. Ash is a trooper and always does so good with having babies, mom said that rught after Mallory was born she could hear Ashlee in the room giggling! I dont know many women that are laughing or giggling right after they give birth. So I just wanted to say congrats to them and that I cant wait to see her!!

Going Home

Today I am thankful for being able to go home and visit family and friends!! Paityn has told me every day for the last month that her mema and papa miss her and that she missed them and that she needed to go to Bear River to see them!! So today we are going to go to Bear town to see them for a week, Douglas will be there Sunday night since he has to work Saturday and Sunday. He will get to stay until after Thanksgiving dinner and then he will have to come back! It will be so nice for all of us to be able to get out of Wendover for a couple days!!

melissa

Since it has been a couple days since I have posted I thought I would get on here tonight and say that I am thankful today for a person that has always been there for me no matter what, someone who I consider to be one of my very best friends ever!! My beautiful and awesome sister Melissa!!! She is the best sister that anyone could ever ask for!!! She has always been so good to me, no matter what might be going on in her life she has always had an open door and open couch for me!! I cant count all the times that I have had to run away for the weekend or just whenever and she has more than willingly let me come sleep on her couch and eat her food!!! She has always been willing to help me with paityn when I might have needed someone to watch her. She has always been more than willing to pass down Tess's clothes that she grows out of. ( Tess is a very well dressed child and lets just say I have totes and totes full of clothes!!) Melissa is so giving and caring. She helps without expecting anything in return and is honestly the closest thing to a saint that I have ever met!!! I love you Melissa!!! Thank you for not only being my best friend but also the best sister anyone could ever ask for!!!

Blessings

Today I am thankful for the gospel and all of the many blessings that come with it! I am thankful for the knowledge that there is a way for Douglas and I to be sealed in the temple with our little Paityn for eternity! To have the knowledge that I will be able to be with not only my little family but my entire family for forever! They are the best family in the world and I am so greatful that I was sent to them and was blessed with the best parents ever and also the best siblings anyone could ever ask for!! They truely are all amazing and great people!! I love them all more than I can even begin to explain. Im thankful for the peace that comes with saying prayers every night with Paityn before she goes to bed and singing her favorite primary songs!!

We have been married for a month already today!!! Where does the time go?? Its crazy to think about sometimes, I love my little family so very much and am soooo very thankful for them. I also am thankful for Doctors and what they do. I have the worst cold that I have ever had!! Its awful I cant breathe and I can barely talk :( I feel like complete crap!! So I am giving in and going to go to the doctor today in hopes that they might be able to give me something!!
