The most wonderful time of the year...

I leave TOMORROW for North Carolina. And it is supposed to storm big time--so pray for me not to get stuck/stranded... Weird things always happen to me when that happens. Plus my flight is late and me+no sleep=insane migraines. So we really don't want that... Especially since I get to see Mom! Dad! Scott! Matt! Yay! (Sad that it isn't more of us, but I have seen Jo & her crew several times lately--including after spending a few hours snowboarding by her *new* place--and when she and Eric came down to support me singing for a Stake Fireside--kind of a big thing because my stake is enormous! And they brought a bookcase that I've been waiting for which has made my room once again an orderly place.)
I *also* got to go to lunch with Leslie yesterday. Made my week SOOOO much better. I sure love that chica. I was thinking of these pictures and thinking how Christmas is going to be quite a bit smaller this year. Still lovely. But quieter. And also glad that I have recovered completely from that nasty surgery last year. Today I went to a pain specialist, so the goal is to GET BETTER. Good goal, eh?We had a gift exchange as roomies last night and it was so fun. Just to spend time with all of us around. Which got me thinking about the roomies I've loved--the kind that became like sisters. I love you ladies!

I'll be back in Utah on the first. Love to all (wish you were with me)! Happy Holidays!

Oh, I was gonna be at my brother's for Christmas and I would've seen you!! (since your parents are in his ward and all...) But I'm headed to Florida now, which will also be fun :)
Enjoy NC and I hope you don't get stuck in the bad weather!

Hi there! How are you? It looks like you have been doing many adventures, as always. Your life is very exciting! Yay!

Thanks guys! I can't believe I missed you Stephanie! But I did say hi to your family on Sunday. Random. But they're so nice! Tiff, I have to have adventure. At least until I get married (which is not in the foreseeable future). We still need to go to lunch! Work has been ridiculous lately, but I can totally make time.

Love you all!
