Family time

 For YSA FHE we were suppose to go up to Temple Square and take pictures but it was cancelled so we decided to go anyways.

 For Christmas, Santa brought Andrew a new bike and since the weather is warming up, He wanted to try it out.Trevor and I took him to the back alley and within 10 mins., Andrew was riding all by himself!!!

It's possible :)

I feel blessed, very blessed in fact. I met a certain person back in Oct. of last year and he was nice and all but nothing came from it. Then Sunday night movies started happening the last week of Jan. at him and his roommates house. The movie everybody was watching was dumb so Trevor and I decided to watch our own, which ended up being The Avengers, in a different area. Ever since then I looked forward to going over there for movie night. One week it was cancelled and both of us were bummed about it. Valentine's week came along and I surprised him with a plate of goodies and a mini martinelli. That did it:) I finally gave him my number and we have been getting together every night since. He asked me, in person, out on a real date and wanted to make sure he got the second date scheduled too so he asked me out for the next night as well. He is a special individual and respectful too:) We didn't kiss until the night of our first date and we also agreed on a curfew which we are sticking to. Today he surprised me by coming into my work and having lunch. It made my day! Is it possible that my heart has been able to mend and find love again? :) He always puts a smile on my face and my boys have warmed up to him nicely.
 Trevor Ross Pressgrove is 35 with two boys, 9 1/2 and 5yrs( only 10 days older that Ryan!) and grew up in the same size of family as me, 6 children, military background, born in Spain while growing up there, Panama, and Texas. My family likes him:) We had our FHE on Sunday and he came. Everybody was being themselves and had a good time. I truely love this man. He helps me calm down when I'm stressed. We've been able to have those really deep discussions and talk about the sensitive subjects of our past. We compliment each other very well, some of his strengths are my weaknesses and visa versa. He is a keeper in my book:)

What has happened in the last 4months?

 Andrew's 6th Birthday! He wanted a mixed boy/girl party so he invited some from school and some from his primary class

We went up to Park City and spent some time at our timeshare. They loved going swimming! Andrew was doggie paddling all by himself! Next step is taking the floaties off.

After attending a ward, in Park City, sacrament meeting, on our way back to the resort I saw a really nice place to take pictures.

 

 

 General Conference Weekend! My friend Troy and his roommate Aaron took us to hike Bridal Veil Falls in between the Saturday morning and afternoon sessions. It was so nice:)

  

We just had a create afternoon. Ryan wanted to cut stuff and Andrew was writing a story with Grandma Howard. They also baked cupcakes:)

 

 

 I took Ryan and my nephew Owen to see the BYU women's soccer team against Duke. Andrew lost the privilage so that's why Owen went instead. We beat Duke if I remember right 3-1! The boys got a poster signed by all the players. BYU ended up going all the way to the Elite 8, the farthest they have ever gotten.

Christmas Eve I woke up to this out my window! So Beautiful:)

 Andrew and Ryan writing Santa letters before heading to bed

This year for Christmas we got a real tree and for FHE we made ornaments to put on it. We always used my mom's tree and all her ornaments and I wanted to have our own family tree so I saved up for it and used some of my tip money and went to Derek's stand( he is a single dad in the YSA ward ). Ryan helped pick the tree.

 

 Christmas morning! If you can believe it, we all slept until 7:30/8am

 

I love sunflower seeds so my mom bought me about 30lbs! It has been almost a month and I have gone through one bag already:)

Day after Christmas and I took Andrew and Ryan to the park to go sledding. My brother Alen's girls joined us. Ryan had been sick over the weekend so we didn't want to risk getting the girls sick too so that's why the mask.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2013

My friend Becky and I wanted to start the year off right so we have set a goal to go to a different Temple about one a month. We were planning on going to the new Brigham City one but all the endowment sessions were full and they only had a late sealing session opened so we decided the Jordan River would be our first one to go to. 

Some of it might be a repeat but I have been really busy with work, tutoring, sick family, etc that my brain is a little fried so sorry if there are :)
