My happy 31st birthday with Mom




Make shift Halloween costume




I was a more modest and less slim version of the original Barbie for halloween this year. I decided to dress up for a halloween party last minute, so I did the best I could with the clothes already in the closet. Of course, nobody knew who I was. Some of the guesses were Marilyn Monroe, Cruella Deville, and random rocker chick... but nobody guessed Barbie. Hey, I did the best I could. I was not about to wear a bathing suit to the party, and I really struggled with the liquid eye liner, I don't think I could have made it any better... but definately could have been worse.

Noah's Baby Blessing weekend in Utah

Visiting the fam in San Diego







I had a great time visiting my brothers and sisters in San Diego! I have some adorable neices and nephews down there!! I hope to visit again soon. Thanks Liz and Brandon for hosting me and planning a fun BBQ!

Camping in the Santa Cruz Mountains




My girl Tyra and her husband Josh and little boy Carver and my friends Dawit and Daniel all joined me camping in the Santa Cruz mountains. It was beautiful! I was proud to introduce Dawit and Daniel to camping and smores.

Memorial Day in Georgia








This reminds me of a picture with Aaron and I.

Aidan's birthday swim party.


Contrary to the appearance neither Alecia nor I are pregnant in this photo.

We went to Stone Mountain and watched the laser show in the rain. Sean had the right idea wearing his swim shorts.

What a difference a year makes...

This is a pic of my good friend Kris and I in L.A. one year ago. Memorial Day weekend 2008. At the time we were both single career gals trying to figure out how cute single LDS girls in their later 20's find guys the same religion to date. It is not easy. Now, one year later Kris is married and pregnant with her first son! Wow. I'm just sayin' who knew? LIfe changes so quickly. I've always been an "enjoy the journey" type of gal and am constantly amazed to see how life changes and remains the same. I know this past year I have been living the same place, working the same job, sporting the same hair-do, but I have grown and changed and been challenged and felt joy as much as ever. Living alone for the first time has been eye-opening... I think it has forced me to really be myself more than ever. I don't have roommates to encourage me or discourage me... I am on my own. I have learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses. It has truly been a year of growth.
