It's Official

So I've decided to make it official and tell everyone that I am planning on leaving in June to serve a full-time mission. I don't have my call yet, and I'm starting on my papers now, but I am planning on going about 3 months after Brett leaves. Mom and Dad are a little worried about how to pay for two at once, but since we're both paying for at least half, it shouldn't be that big a deal. Anyway, I'm really excited about this opportunity. I prayed about it a year ago and it wasn't right then, but I got the "ok" now and I'm probably more excited than ever!!!

Ha! I haven't posted anything since Thanksgiving and its even January now! Yay for the new year!!! Anyway, Christmas was wonderful! It was so nice after a crazy hectic semester to just chill with the fam and enjoy getting dumped on with snow while playing games and enjoying hot chocolate (this christmas my mom got a cocoa-motion and I got an insulated cup that you can plug into your car to keep it warm so it was a cocoa-y christmas). Brett, Emma and I made a snow cave in the front yard but due to warm weather followed by super heavy snow it collapsed :'( Ryan and Cec came up and bopped back and forth with the Bennetts and us but we got them Christmas morning, and Kalia flew in from LA. We were all together and that hasn't happened since April (which isn't all that long ago but it seems like ages ago) and we won't all be together for a couple years while Brett's on a mission. I'm gonna miss that kid like crazy!!!
