Week of Concerts!! & LOTS OF PICTURES!

What are the chances of going to TWO amazing concerts, both in the same week! It is pretty slim, but I was lucky enough to have the experience!! So My week started off by going to the Celine Dion concert with my sister Camille. This was my 2nd time seeing her! I was able to go for my senior trip with all of my friends, and see her show in Vegas two  years ago, but then I got to go again when she was in Utah this last week! It was kinda of a sad story though.. Brittany had purchased the tickets when it was supposed to be in November, but then it had to be rescheduled and Britt lives in Hawaii now, so couldn't go! :( But me and Camille took the

 tickets gladly!

Seeing Celine in Vegas with my friends 2  years ago! 

Then after an eventful few days filled with my daily drama.... (what a week... seriously!) I was able to go see Rascal Flatts with my dear friend Alysia!! This was also my 2nd time seeing them! Clint took me 2 years ago for Valentines day! Which made this year a little sad, because both of us have boys on missions and we were feeling a little down... but once the music started, and we started dancing, we had such a good time!! We were going camera crazy, and laughing our heads off at all the ladies who had a little too much to drink! We were lucky enough to sit on the ROW 12, and be right up next to the stage!! It was so so fun!! Gary totally winked at me! :) ha ha.. I can for sure say that it was just what I needed to cheer me up after a rough week! But here are a lot of pictures, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

All the boys! :)

Can you tell we are excited!! 

I was noticing some strange dance moves from a girl in front of us.. ha ha 

Wrist band=Floor seats! 

mmm... I don't really know! 

We love Rascal Flatts! 

YAY! :)

A Weekend in Mt. Green!

So I know it has been forever since I have posted anything! And I always say that I am going to be better at posting, but life really is just so busy! I can't believe how fast time goes during the semester! So nothing is really new, school and work are the same.. just getting through both of them one day at a time! :) But a couple of weekends ago I was able to go stay up at my old cheer advisors house for the weekend, and watch her kids while she and her husband were in Hawaii! It was so fun! I can't believe how big her kids are getting! Alixann was just a brand new baby when I was cheering, and Bode hadn't even been born yet! Crazy!!! But anyway, I know this is a short post, but here are some pictures of the cute kids!! I am so glad I got to be with them for the whole weekend up at their home in Mt. Green! It was so much fun to be able to watch them, and I can't wait to be able to do it again! I literally cried when I had to leave them! Alixann was sad that I was leaving, and she started crying, so then I started crying! I love being able to play with kids and getting to see their cute personalities! It makes me so excited to be able to be a mom one day! I can't wait to have kids of my own to take care of!! I am always so happy to watch anyones kids! I get to watch the Talbot's little boys every so often, and I love doing that too! I am so happy that they trust me so much to stay with their kids for the weekend! Thank you to everyone who lets me tend their kids!! I love doing it! 

Alixann and Bode! 

It's already 2009????

So I think I am officially the worlds worst blogger! Time just slips past me too quickly, and before I know it, MONTHS have passed! There is so much that I need to catch up on, and I don't even know where to start! December was a good month, and went by way too quickly! Our family had a very fun Christmas, and it was just fun to ALL be together! It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, I LOVE it! Being together as a family really makes me appreciate everything that I have! I am so grateful to have a big family, and to know that we will be together forever!! There were lots of Christmas parties I attended and they were all so fun! The Waddoups Bingo party was a blast! And the part where I won $100, 2 Nerf guns, a Nerf basketball hoop, some gloves, an umbrella, and some socks, was probably my favorite! ha ha... Christmas Eve was great too! I was able to go over to Clint's families house and talk to him on the phone with everyone! It was so great to hear his voice, and to hear all of the great things that have been happening over in the mission field! He is such a good missionary, and so happy serving the lord! I am seriously so proud of him and all that he has done! He was able to baptize a couple of girls in his new area and what a blessing that has been! It has really made him much more confident in everything he does! Also, on January 2nd Clint hit his half way mark!! Can you believe it.. only ONE YEAR LEFT! Actually less than a year now.. He told us on the phone that he will be home for Christmas this year! I am really looking forward to that! :) Lets see... what else is new... winter semester started this last week, and I am already so stressed out, and I have no idea how I am going to make it through this semester! Graduation is on April 9th, and if  I make it to that day in one piece I will truly be surprised! ha ha... But anyway.. I guess that is all for right now.. I have a lot of pictures to post, but none of them are on my computer yet, so I will have to do it next time! Hopefully that will be soon! I hope everyone has a great week! Happy New Year! 

It has been FOREVER!!

So I haven't posted anything for such a long time! I have been really busy! Last week I finished the semester and I have never felt so good! This last semester has been so hard, time consuming, and stressful, so it was a really good feeling to finish! I have had time to go Christmas shopping, go to Christmas parties, and miss Clint. I didn't think that the holidays would really make that big of a difference, with out Clint.. but it has been much harder then expected.. But time is going quick, and I just need to keep that in mind. Clint's one year mark is on January 2nd, and that almost seems unreal.. Sometimes I feel like it has been years since he left, but it really wasn't that long ago! Today I had the opportunity to go to Elder Bennett's homecoming. He was Clint's trainer when he first got to Hong Kong. It was so great to hear some of his stories, knowing that Clint is out there right now having some of those same experiences! I am so grateful for this time and for Clint being able to serve a FULL time mission! Two weeks ago, he had a little accident and broke his collar bone. He is healing, but he is still in a lot of pain. Luckily he didn't have to come home for surgery and gets so stay in Hong Kong! Lets just hope that nothing else happens to him! I am sending his Christmas/Birthday package tomorrow and I am very excited for him to get his presents! 

Anyway... Onto a more positive note.. Our house is finally all decorated for Christmas! It is always fun to get all of the decorations up, and having the snow has really made it feel more like the Christmas season! It hasn't really felt like it until this last week. My family and I went to the festival of trees the first week of December, and we took a couple of pictures! They aren't very cute.. but they are all I've got! :) I hope everyone has a great holiday!!

The Holidays!! :)

So, if you can't tell by looking at my blog, and listening to my playlist, I am SO excited for the Holidays!! This is my favorite time of year! I just love the feeling, and all the excitement of Christmas shopping and family parties! I know I am getting ahead of myself, because we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but I just can't wait! Though, I do love Thanksgiving too! all the eating, family and movies! I have loved Thanksgiving ever since I can remember.. The last few years everyone comes over to our house and we watch the parade while we cook, go to a movie, EAT and just hang out! Being together as a family is the BEST part of this whole season! Another reason I am so excited about this Christmas, is because that will mean Clint has been out for a YEAR!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by! It is crazy to me! Last year at this time, everything was in two's, and now we are down to ONE! One more semester of school, One more birthday, One more summer, and One more Christmas! I know this Christmas will be a little lonely without him, but we have so many fun memories from the past 2 Christmas's that will make me happy! :) It has been so neat to see how much Clint has grown this past year! He has had so many neat experiences, and I am so grateful that I have been able to be apart of that! I feel like I have done a lot of growing up too, and even though I am not out finding new people to teach, I have loved teaching Primary and seeing all of my kids grow! It is so awesome! Those kids have such sweet spirits and know SO much! They amaze me more and more each day! I love my calling!!

 Well I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving this next week, and for everyone in school, good luck making it through Finals in a couple of weeks! It will be so great when the semester is over! :) 

Happy Holidays! 

I will post pictures and more from our family's Thanksgiving!
