Quiet Week

I don't know why but I think it's wrong to let my blog go 5 days without a post...I know I'm pathetic. I've been thinking it was Friday all day today. Boo I hate it when that happens!

Nothing much has happened this week. Thank goodness MIDTERMS are next week. Halfway done!!

Here are some cute shots of Brinley we've taken this week.

We are making plans for our move in April. Oh my goodness I can't believe we are leaving Rexburg (for good!). We sold basically all our furniture already to a couple. They are picking it up the last week we are planning on being in Rexburg. We are planning on moving with the POD like we did last year, and since we have a crib, changing table, bed and more 'things,' we don't have room in the POD for everything else. I'm ok with it since most of our furniture is c-r-a-p anyways. Nothing much with law school acceptances. We heard back from Case Western last week and Ryan got a $15,000/year scholarship but that only brings the tuition down to $23,000/year. We'll see but it was nice to hear that someone wants us badly enough to give us moo-lah!

Beautiful

Saturday, we had family pictures taken! Our friend Krista is an amazing photographer (self taught...she is so artistic!). She took amazing pictures of both Brinley and of the whole family. I am SO super excited to get these printed off!! Brinley did great except towards the end when we stripped her down to her nakey-ness. She was not thrilled about that. She is beautiful and I am so happy how the pictures turned out!

Which ones do you like!?

OLD SCHOOL!

I DIED when I saw these pictures tagged of me on Facebook by my dear friend Mayley. Ryan and I don't have that many pictures of us while we were dating. It is pretty hard to decide when we started "dating" because of the CONSTANT drama (that I caused...) about Mission or No Mission. Thankfully, we still had fun together (for the most part except when he stole my friends and all went bowling...) but hey, we've moved on. I like to still tease him about those dating days!

This is really for Jessie "George" McKinley. JESSIE! I miss you. I miss the old days hanging in NC with Amelia. And singing and making ginger bread houses. Laughing in church. Taking fun pictures. And going to the beach!

NEW YEARS 2007

Breath of Heaven

Ginger Bread Houses!

Ugly sweater at the Stake Christmas Fireside

Fun times at Amelia's!

Engagement Weekend!

This is the last picture we though we would take together. Ryan was leaving for BYU-Idaho the next morning. He told me he loved me that night...and I freaked. And 2 weeks later told SLC that I was staying home and getting married!!

Don't think I'm stuck in the past. Because I'm not. I love to reflect on my past because of how far I have come and all of the accomplishments that have happened. My future is bright and wonderful because of Ryan and Brinley.
