Saturday

Saturday afternoon we got to go up to Ogden to visit Daniel, Spencer's brother and his little family (Katie, Kira, and Carson). When we left Provo it was sprinkling a little, by the time we got to Salt Lake it was poouring, and by the time we got to Ogden inches of Snow. Since the weather channel has been telling us it was going to snow since Last Saturday, it finally decided to come.

Daniel is doing his residency at the Mckay dee Hospital so he treated us to dinner there. He and his family get to eat for free the whole time he will be there. I finally have decided that hospital food IS as good as everyone tells me it is. Spencer and I were like kids in a candy store because there was sooo much good food and TONS of candy and ice cream and no limit! It was fabulous. And all FREE to him and us.

We introduced them to Yo Gabba Gabba, its a kids show that sometimes cool bands and actors will guest star on. Carson was really into it right away! Spencer and I have heard about this show but never actually watched an episode, just a few clips on youtube. I got it for some of my nieces/nephews this Christmas. Saturday we all experienced it together...

25 isn't so bad.

Last week was rough.

As the realization of my 25th birthday was creeping up I got very upset and shed waay too many tears. (KC, I finally feel like I understand how you have felt on every birthday since we met!)

I have feared turning 25. 25...50...75...100...

I am more officially and adult than ever. I guess it just really freaks me out knowing over a quarter of my life on Earth is over, I still have so much I want to do before I have gray hair and my body starts deteriorating! That scares me.

Despite my emotional self, Spencer has been so very encouraging and patient with me reminding me that really it's not that bad turning 25.

We went to the temple on Friday night and it was a sweet experience. It really helped me to get out of my funk and open my eyes to the eternal perspective. Getting older really isn't that badbecause I still do have many more wonderful years, and an eternity to look forward to.

So CHEERS to another wonderful year

with a great husband and awesome family and friends by my side!!!
