Happy December

To get us all in the Christmas spirit, I wanted to share one of my favorite Christmas songs performed by my favorite Broadway performer and my favorite choir.

Hello World

Hi, I just wanted to give a quick shout out and let all of you know that I'm still here.  Just really, really busy with school.  I promise there are some posts to come, including a few really cute pictures from Halloween.  Just bear with me for a bit.  Love you all.

Man's best friend

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

 We've all known this day was coming.  Brian's brothers dog, Hunter has been growing old. 

He reached his limit last night.  He was in too much pain to justify being selfish and keeping him here any longer.

 

Hunter was a good family dog, who loved nothing more than to be around his people.

He was the guard dog, dutifully protecting the home.

He was an outdoors dog, enjoying camping and laying outside while yardwork was done.

 

He was an adventerous dog, escaping with his cohort Radar and terrorizing the neighborhood.

Hunter was a good dog.  What better complement to characterize man's best friend. 

We will truly miss him.

Boys club

Every year, the boys in Brians family have a boys only weekend. No girls allowed.

This year they are fishing. Somewhere in southeast Utah called Boulder Mountain. I don't know, but it sounds cold.

One thing I do know is that Brian has only been gone for 7 hours and I already miss him.

Come see

If you are in the Utah County area, this starts tonight. 

 It promises to be fabulous.  

Plus my amazing, gorgeous, talanted little sister is in it.  You can't go wrong.

Dear Lizzies

Brians mom and sisters introduced me to the most adoarable boutique in Alpine.

Dear Lizzies has just about anything sparkly or frilly you could want. 

Last week I was able to share this adorable find with my mom, sisters, and Grandma. 

We ate a delightful lunch tucked away in a corner of the bistro. 

They were so kind and made us feel like family the entire time. 

The only problem came when all of us tried to treat the others to lunch. Hmmmm, how did the bithday girl end up being the one to pay for everyone?

Happy Birthday

**Picture stolen from my Mom**
