New Years Eve

Ashley was dying, to see the snow I mean really, when we pulled up to the cabin and she saw the miles and miles of snow she looked like a puppy at Christmas. ha She romped around in the snow tirelessly for hours even after her boots were soaked through. We went sledding and built a snowman, drank cocoa, went exploring, it was so fun! We topped it off by a dance party in the car, and Pei Wei. I don't think it could have been better.

































This was taken before I accidentally destroyed poor Leonard, I also think it's a pretty flattering picture of all of us too.




































We went to Snowflake for Payton's homecoming talk! We ate at our favorite ice cream parlor which sadly is closing down!



















It was so great to see grandma and grandpa and be up in Snowflake, I've had so many good times there!
























We lit off lots of fireworks with the boys this year. Our backyard was filled with smoke! They ran around crazily, I'm glad nobody caught on fire this year.









































































































I love, love, love my new long board! We went on a 4 mile ride on a trail by our house and it was so fun!



















Oh, and this week was my first week at my new job as a Physical Therapy Technician! I absolutely love it! It feels good to have a job where I am actually helping people and doing something meaningful and I love the people I work with. It is in Sun City/Surprise so there are a lot of old people who are so nice! Having this job was a major blessing and I couldn't be more happy about it. It just seems like everything is coming together right after it seemed like everything was falling apart. I love being home and just relaxing, working, and taking an online class while I wait to either get into the nursing program or transfer to BYU.
