Rachel + Drew

On November 18, 2011 Rachel and Drew were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. I was able to go to their sealing which was beautiful and amazing! I'm so happy for Rachel and Drew!! They are perfect for each other and so happy together!

Later that evening, they had a reception at Wadley Farms. It was a perfect day!

Scott and I had our very first dance as a married couple
after a year and a half of marriage!


We ran into Sandy, our favorite preschool director.

Powell Family

I don't know the Powell family but when I heard their story on the news I instantly felt an overwhelming feeling of love for them. If you haven't heard what happened you can read the story here. It is the saddest story ever. My thoughts and prayers are with them. It just makes me want to go home and snuggle up with my husband, tell him I love him and never let him go. I am so thankful for my family and friends and the safety they are blessed with everyday. You can help the Powell family by making a donation to the Powell Family Foundation to help pay for hospital and funeral bills.

My niece Taylor got baptized a few weeks ago. She is such a sweet girl. I'm so proud of her decision to be baptized. I was in charge of the song so I had Scott play I am a Child of God on his guitar while all my nieces and nephews sang it. It was just perfect.

Taylor wrote a letter to my mom explaining all the reasons why she wanted to be baptized. I wish I could find it so I could post it but it was the cutest letter I've ever read. She said things like "I want to be baptized because I love Jesus and I think everyone makes mistakes don't they? I think they do and my sins can be washed away." at the end of the letter she said "You are the best grandma I have ever seen or saw."
I love this girl.
