A little hike because it was too cold to boat

I kinda like this picture.  It was so cold at Lake Powell we decided to try our luck out at Zions.  We woke up the next morning with snow all over the ground. 

Chris Coming Home! 

 I was freaking out all day about seeing Chris after 2 whole years.  What if I just wasn't attracted to him? What if he was weird and akward or I was weird and akward? I couldn't stop sweating and pacing around my house.  It was a relief to see he wasn't some sort of alien.  He was so cute to come around and surprize me. 

I cant believe he is home! Is this for real? 

My heart was beating so fast and I was so nervous! But it worked out okay;) 

Took him on a little shopping trip to get some new cloths.  It was cute anything I said I liked he would think of buying. 

Valentines Day: Lady A Concert!

Our seats were in the Boonies! But it was still fun;) 

Chris LOVES a good Jdawg

It didn't take too long to remember how dorky we both are together. 

Madies Birthday Movie. "I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love." 

One of his last meals out before the mission was thai village.  So we went back and got some peanut curry.

COMING HOME!

Everyone in the family came to get me at the airport, even Jenna:) It was a long flight, not to mention that I barley made it on the flight from Maui to Pheonix! I was the last one on the flight and they were just about to leave. I felt so lucky that I made it on! I couldn't of been happier to see my cute brother and sisters as I got off the flight. It didn't even bug me that they had lost my luggage.

Sara and Madison Decorated my room!

After a 2 hour nap with my mom I got to go to temple square and the David Archuleta Concert!

Once again we got really lucky. We thought we had a guaranteed seat because we had tickets, but apparently they really overbooked the concert! Grandma had to pull some strings to get us in!

We made a hawaiian snowman:) Gosh it was hard to push the butt!

For Christmas Eve instead of the usual Dinner we had a special hawaiian Luau! It was fun! I made my favorite hawaiian treat! Acai Bowls. Its an acai fruit smoothie with granola, bananas and honey:)

Hahah lets just say this was A LOT a bit embarrassing! I don't perform things for other people! But some how I was convinced to do a little hula in front of the whole family! Luckily I had some little girls join me! Miss madison really had the dance down well.

Jake always gives me the best hugs! He always comes up to me and gives me a big hug and now he is so tall its crazy! The sweatshirt I got is one from Dan from BYU-H:)

All of us got these funny shirts from the Stupid Factory! Mom and I spent hours looking at them in Hawaii, little did I know I would be getting on for PJs

CHRISTMAS MORNING!

Christmas Day! My wonderful Great Grandma Barber gave me a pretty pearl necklace

Grandma and Grandpa thanked me way too much for the silly Hawaiian ornament I gave to them.

Dinner with the Fam before a big day in Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone as a family! It was absolutly so incredible! There were so many amazing Gysers and hot pots

We went Cross country Skiing and barley made it in time to see Old Faithful
