Winter Break






It's almost over, Winter Break, and I can't believe it!!  It has flown by in a blur!  I have been blessed to spend lots of time with family and friends and I have had a blast.  Now that my family is all a little older, the spirit of sharing has really been felt in our home this past Christmas Season.  We have shared many memories, presents, time, talents, laughs, love, the flu, etc.  We had a very merry Christmas and we are so truly blessed.  Here is a lightning fast update of my life the past month.  I watched Twilight at the drive-ins with friends, spent Christmas with the extended Garner Family, both my brothers are now officially taller than me, made gingerbread houses, relaxed, went to a masquerade party for new years, sat on the floor seats at the suns game, cleaned up over 70 rolls of toilet paper after being T.P.'d (not cool), worked away the break at my new job, and spend time with G-ma and G-pa Loveland who are visiting for a few days!! 

New Year, New Dreams


I have had fun the past few weeks reminiscing on the year 2008.  It was a fun year, but I have BIG plans for the new year.  Just recently my friends and I found these cute wooden signs at the Dollar Store.  We decided to each buy one and make a night of sanding and painting them.  The sign I bought says "Dream" and I of course, painted it orange - my new favorite color!!  This is a year of dreams!!  Last week in my ward, my Bishop gave us 10 goals to work on as a ward and encouraged us to write down a list of personal goals.  As I sat and contemplated this new year, I realized I have many plans, ambitions, and DREAMS!!  I am going at this year with a running start...literally!  :)
