Love is passion, obsession; someone you can't live without...fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back...because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this. -William Parrish

top ten

i am missing my family today, they are scattered all over instead of gathered in. maybe it is the youngest in me, but i always want my family close by.

always growing up, we would list our top ten of the year on new years. so i will proceed to do so:

1. getting married to darren! it has been a great year, with lots of growing. darren is very patient and i am blessed to have him as my life partner.
2. we bought a house-it is so fun to have our own place! hoping that a yard is on my list new year
3. we lost aunt robyn and grandpa moe this fall. i am learning a lot about the plan of salvation and the legacy of a life.
4. we added a new member to our family...our little canine jack who is equally cute as he is naughty.
5. we went a whole year without a tv AND we got one for christmas.
6. i left the family business (still missing boss and jamie) and started a new job that i am loving.
7. a new niece and a new nephew this year and two more nephews to come next year!
8. darren and i got to do pioneer trek together this year as a ma and pa-it was a great experience to do together.
9. darren got a new investor in his company that we are grateful for...and i don't see him as much anymore!
10. one of the best nights of the whole year was december 23 at boss and nanny's. we re-created the nativity, watched the girls open american girl dolls, ate crab and chowder, received heirloom guns and watches from grandpa moe and came into 2012 with ipads! i love my family.
