I can't believe the Holiday's have already come and are LONG gone! I seriously love this time of year getting to spend lots of time with Family and friends. I'm wanting to do a better job at keeping up with this blog....mostly just for myself to use as a journal. But for those of you whom may read it...cool! haha This will be a long post...but there is much i need to catch up on.
I'm going all the way back to Thanksgiving! This Thanksgiving we actually got to spend it with my family over in Tremonton at Grandma J's house. And it was really special and A LOT of fun! The following day after Thanksgivng Novemeber 27th was the 5 year mark for us losing our beautiful mother and friend in a tragic car accident. So our family went out to her grave site (something i have mixed feelings about) but it was really special to all be there together, we were only missing Taner and his wife Megan. I can't believe its been 5 years already in one way it seems so long ago but at the same time it seems like just last week. crazy crazy...but enough of that for now....
Now we'll fast forward a little bit to December one night we got a bunch of our friends together and we make the most awesome gingerbread houses! It was way fun. Josh and Libby Christensen brought a FIVE pound bucket of frosting!!! it was ridiculus!!! Everyone was feeling a little sick afterwards. I'll have to post some pictures up later! Me and Cody's house was AWESOME!!!
We also had another Lund Family Christmas Party at the house with all of Cody's family and everyone made it this year...on time! Last year there was a HUGE storm and it was awful for everyone to drive in but they all made it safely. We had a really good time! I forget what we ate...oh yeah! soooo much food! we had bake potatoes, salad, Winger's Chicken, Texas Roadhouse Ribs & Rolls, homemade rootbear from Hire's (Lon's Favorite place...well one of them. haha) and...some yummy dips and other tasty things. It was really really yummy! And really good to spend time with all of them!
Cody and I left for Auburn December 23rd and we didn't have to come back till Jan. 3rd! So it was a real nice LONG trip. For Cody, it was a little too long! But for me...I LOVED IT!!! and really hope to move up there just while my littlest sister McKinley is going to High School! and then we can go wherever! haha But i really want to be there (in person) for her during high school! we all know how hard high school can be...and how much fun it can be! and i just want to be there cheering her on in all her sports!!! She is a baller! haha (i taught her all she knows...and she KNOWS and is WAY better than i ever was! haha)
While we were up in Washington we did a lot of fun things...almost every morning my dad and i would go for a run and that was really good to get my butt up and moving while i was there. Plus it was fun just to spend some extra time with just him! even though we hardly would talk! haha but...it was good and much needed!
We went on a couple of hikes while we were there and it just fascinates me how GREEN it is there, and how many veriations of the color of green there are! Its crazy and sooo pretty!!!
I LOVE WASHINGTON!!!
Katie and I of course had a big BLOW UP!! but...thats almost always expected with either her or Hailey when I go up there...but i think things are worked out...haha I truly truly do LOVE all 3 of my sisters sooooo much! Everyone knows i favor McKinley a LITTLE...but she is the baby!! But really all of them are my favorite in totally different ways! we are all sooooo different! and that is a really GOOD thing! sometimes its hard to understand eachother but...its good! They are all beautiful girls and i just love them to death and only want the VERYVERY best for them!!! Yeah for seesters!!!!
Lets see what else did we do...oh sweet little McKinley has re-introduced me a "Thankful Journal" so far i've been doing good at writing something down every night, and i have LOVED it! for those who suck at writing some sort of journal (like me!) try this out, just write down 1 thing you were grateful for that day. I have yet to only be able to write down one...but seriously there is soooooo much to be Thankful for it just blows my mind AWAY!! i LOVE it!
well...i'm at work right now...hehe and i think they are getting a suspicious of me typing away like a mad woman! So for now i'll end here! and I'm really really wanting to be better at writing down on the wonderful things that are goin on in my life...and typing beats writing it down on paper cause i always get those HUGE ugly writing calluses. So anyway...THE END!!! I LOVE MY LIFE!!!! and everyone that is a part of it!!!
