We would like to wish all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Hopeful New Year! This year has been a tough one for our family. Nate has been laid off not once but twice. We have had dear loved ones return to our Heavenly Home, which is never easy for us still here, living our earthly experience. We miss them everyday!
Life does go on...my parent's recently received their mission call to Taipei, Taiwan! They will serve in the public affairs office, which sounds very exciting! And very, very far away!!
Jackson turned 11 on December 7th. We were driving in the car recently and Nate and I were talking. I had turned down the radio, there was a cool, popular song playing and Jackson asked 'could you turn up the radio please' and in that moment I realized I am not quite ready for my son to grow up and know what songs on the radio are cool and want to listen to them! Needless to say I was sitting in the car with tears streaming down my face, Nate trying to console and reassure me all at the same time.
Here are some long over due photo's of things we have been up to lately!
We know we are blessed in many ways and look forward with hope and faith in the blessings to come! Enjoy the season and remember our Savior is the reason for this special season!
