January Updates
Well January has almost come and gone and I can't believe it! I am still happy every day that we are back in Utah. It is just so good to be home.
We have spent the month battling the worst weather in Utah's history I think. We have literally been snowed in several times. I have been stuck in my driveway multiple times and have spun off the freeway. We have had a couple weeks of temperatures below 10 degrees and now that it is "warmer" we are getting snow everyday. Grateful for my new SUV!!
The weather is a big reason why I haven't blogged. We are stuck inside...cabin fever!! Spring can't get here soon enough. I can't wait to take the kids on walks and spend time outside.
I'm down to my last few weeks in my 20's. I am not going to lie, I am a little depressed. I don't know why...my life is just what I wanted it to be at the age of 30. I just don't want to cross that threshold of no longer being young.
I spend pretty much every waking moment looking at houses. We have an offer in on a short sale house in Layton...but it's more like a back up if we can't find anything better. It really does consume me though. I go to bed dreaming about the latest house I have looked at it. How will I decorate it...what will I change...I can not wait to own our first home!!!
The kids are doing great. We are on our second round of antibiotics this month and are hoping to put sinus infections and ear infections behind us soon. Sam is a great big sister and such a wonderful help to me. Brooklyn will be 9 months old this weekend and I just can't believe it. She is in the into everything phase. She empties anything she can and she goes straight for any outlet or electrical cord she can find.
Nic LOVES his new job. He is very stressed and overwhelmed with the pace, and learning so much at one time, but he really loves being a prosecutor.
I will now get back into blogging for my family out of state. Love and miss you all!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
This year is the first Christmas that I have not...made neighbor gifts, gotten family pictures taken, sent out Christmas cards, watched my Christmas movies...the list goes on and on. HOWEVER it was the best Christmas we have ever had!
Nic got a job in Utah! How blessed we are that he has been able to find the perfect job and that we get to move back home. I have always wanted to live out of state. Nic and I have had a couple of neat opportunities to do so over the last few years. We are now ready to put down roots in this great state. We are so excited to start looking for our first house!
Nic turned the big #30 this year. He had a great year working for the Nevada Supreme Court as a Staff Attorney. He is so excited to now officially be a Prosecutor for Salt Lake City. I am so glad that he was able to get his dream job so early in his career. We feel so blessed by our Father in Heaven for giving us the job.
Samantha turned 3 years old in June. She thoroughly enjoyed her dance/preschool class in Nevada. It was as 2 hour combo class of gymnastics, crafts, story time, and dance. It was her favorite day of the week. Sam continues to make us laugh and melt our hearts everyday. She is a wonderful big sister, we couldn't have asked for a better oldest child.
Brooklyn was welcomed into our family in May of this year (Birth Story here ). We are gradually adjusting to being a family of 4. Brooklyn is a beautiful baby who loves: her big sister, eating (that could be why she is in 12 month clothes when she is 7 months!), and being held by her momma. She is so attached to me, which is hard at times, but I do love that she loves and needs me.
I enjoyed my last year of my twenties (sniff, sniff). I spent half of this year pregnant and half of this year with a new baby. We moved from a house in Nevada, to an apartment in Nevada, to an apartment in Utah all within the last 6 months. It has been a crazy year to say the least.
It has been our year of Faith. We have learned and grown so much. Our experiences have been invaluable. We know that everything we have been given is because of our Heavenly Father. We are so grateful for his Son Jesus Christ who gave his life for us. We are so grateful for this time of year when we can remember him and reflect on our many blessings.
We are looking forward to an exciting 2013! Happy New Year everyone!

Last Day of Dance
Sam loved her dance/tumbling/preschool. She had amazing teachers and she will miss them very much.

Drive Thru Living Nativity
A local church put on a "Drive Thru Living Nativity", we had no idea what that was but of course you have to check out something like that.
I have to say that it was so neat. A wonderful way to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. The living nativity was complete with Ceasar Augustus, singing angels, and real sheep and donkeys. So neat.
