Snow balls frozen on the snowball tree!
It was so cold that the snow froze to the branches! This was yesterday, by the way. I think they've melted now. But pretty amazing, huh?

I Looked Out the Window....
And what did I see?

An Eternal Family
On Saturday, Lance and I were privileged to go to the Bountiful temple to see our adorable nephew, Jacob, get sealed to his family! We're so happy that Jake is our nephew! We love him so much, and he fits into the family perfectly.
It was a great experience, and made me even more excited to take my own kids there to be sealed in the future, an experience that we'll be very lucky to have.

Jake's eternal family. Congratulations you guys!

2011 Top Ten List
Well, it's that time when we all do sappy stories about the past year. So yeah, I'll jump on that train too.
2011 was a very . . . interesting year, to say the least. I learned a lot, created a lot, and experienced more emotions than I thought I would ever be capable of. Here are the top ten highlights of my year, in no particular order.
1- Went to Texas for the first time ever with Lance. He worked out of the Austin TIGTA office for a few months, and in January, I tagged along.
2- Had a record number of DIY projects. Some turned out amazing, and others were definitely a first time learning experience.
3- Hosted Thanksgiving for the first time ever.
4- Went on my first real golf excursion. I didn't golf, personally, but I tagged along with Lance and his brother, Scott.
5- Made the second most important (and most emotional) decision of my life.
6- Discovered that I really can do anything with the right motivation, even get over my irrational fear of needles.
7- Joined Pinterest. Very addictive, but helpful to a homemaker. P.S. Many more DIY projects are coming soon!
8- Realized that I really do need to get regular check-ups. Three cavities at once are not fun, especially when they're filled at the same time. The entire lower portion of my face was numb!
9- Refinished my gorgeous hardwood floors! (FINALLY!!!)
10- Learned how to be happy in times of trial, and that it's okay to have a bad day every once in a while.
What a year! How was yours?
