Long over due...

I've been thinking a lot about going somewhere warm and fun the past few weeks and it reminded me of my Hawaii trip in January and how I wish I could go back. I tried to convince Clint that we had nothing tying us to Utah so we should just move there and make a living there. I mean come on, why wouldn't we, but he reminded me that I would probably miss my family. I tried to tell him I would be fine and we could just live there for a few years or months for that matter. He didn't think it was such a great idea. But you mark my words I will one day live in Hawaii, even if its just for a short time, I will!
Here's some great moments of our girls trip! Besides the whale/dolphin encounter, which I don't have any pics of on this computer, one of the greatest things we did was drive across the island probably six times just to go to Mostumotos...greatest shave ice in the world! It really is all it's cracked up to be. Delish!!

a darling couple of kiddos

The Cove

I recommend this documentary to anyone with even the smallest soft spot for dolphins. Absolutely outraging!

love this gal

I truly believe some kids have healing spirits and are put into certain families to help that family cope with hard times. Hugs from these kids do nothing but heal our souls. I have a few in my family. Not to favor my niece because the parents of my nephews know that I LOVE them just as much, but this little girl heals my heart! A squeeze around the neck from her does wonders on me. I love her.



It might have something to do with the fact that I live with her. But also that she likes me a lot. I finally have someone who chooses me, and not always Mikey or Grandma:)

Grateful Heart

Oftentimes we are reminded that God is in control when things don't go as we've planned, but that he is looking out for us in the process. I'm grateful for these times in my life even though sometimes they are hard.

anniversary blog

As some of you may know, Clint and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary on December 18. I can't believe already two years have flown by. But even crazier I have known and been with Clint for over six years. That just seems so weird to me. We started dating when I was 16 and he was 15.
I thought it would be fun to put up a few random pics from our six years of togetherness.
