Yay!!! We are so excited!

I've got cars, trains, planes, dinosaurs and all things boy on my mind!

Look who will be joining our family in March.
We are so excited!!

Wicked

Dev took me to Wicked at Capitol Theatre. 

It was beautiful and hilarious and the perfect date.

I love that show and I love that man. 

My family all met up in San Diego for my niece's baptism. There is nothing better in the world then getting together with my whole family. I can't believe how much my family is growing and how stinkin' cute we are! 

Devin and I went to Capitol Reef the next weekend for a quick little get away. We ate a delicious fire-cooked dinner, played card games in our tent and went on a few beautiful hikes. I love that Devin and I share the same sense of adventure. It has taken us to some amazing places!

Pinky Promise

I just finished my first year of teaching. Words can hardy describe how amazing this year has been with my little ones.


On our last day of school I talked to them about how they all were special and that they should never forget it. I made them come up one by one and pinky promise that they would never forget how special they were. It started out with the children giggling, thinking I was so silly. But the room quickly silenced as I softly held each one of their little faces and looked them in the eye and said "You are special. Don't you ever forget it.". It was the loudest silence I ever heard--each child bursting with the knowledge and pride that they were special.  It was an amazing moment we shared together in our little classroom that truly cumulated our year together.


My deepest desire as a teacher is that each student I teach leaves my class truly feeling that they are special and can accomplish anything. I hope that pinky promise we shared stays in their hearts forever and ever. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to spend a year with 22 incredible little ones whom I will forever hope for and love.

It Gets Better...

I recognize that not a lot of people read this blog but I had to share this with however few people do read this, because I'm ready to start making a difference, however small it may be.

I don't like to push my opinion onto other people,

 but reality is that this is not just "my opinion" anymore. 

This is happening, things are changing and we need to change too.

 It's time that every LDS member emulates our ultimate example. 

It is not our place to pass judgement but rather to love and embrace everyone as our Savior would.

"Please watch. Please share. And welcome to the Mormon twenty-first century." -Joanna Brooks, RD magazine.

It gets better...but only if we help. 

I am ready to help. 

And I hope someday you will be ready too.

Devin and I went to Arizona to see Keeg, Linds, Asher, and Ruby. We had a lot of fun playing with the kids in the day and playing games at night. I love love love this family!

Don't be fooled by that chub, she is actually chubbier in real life.
