Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 2009. It's been nice to reflect and see how far our family has come in one year's time. Just a few months ago my grandma was comatose in a hospital. It was such a scary time, but I saw my family rally together and make adjustments to their lives to help her out. A month after that she was at my wedding. Who would've thought so much could happen in just twelve months. We are so blessed.
A few days ago I got together with a few high school friends. It was great to see everyone! I just can't believe we are so old! Everyone is married, and most of the girls have children. As we caught up on each others lives I thought how grateful I am for the gospel. We all have trials and struggles in our lives, but we are all grounded by the same beliefs and principles.
So, on a lighter note, Ben gave me a macbook for Christmas. I've been playing around with it (and Photoshop) and learning how to do more and more things. Hence my new header. :-) I'm hoping as I get more and more into blogging that I will just keep getting better.

Hey Courtney! Wow! Thanks for the comment on my blog. I'm so glad you did, 'cuz I never would've found you otherwise. It's good to hear from you. You look just wonderful, and Ben, you're lucky. If we can figure out this email thing, it'd be good to check in and chat with you a while. It's absolutely great to see you.
