All Grown Up!

My little sister graduated!! I can't believe she is done with high school and headed off to college. It seems like just yesterday that I was a senior and she was a little freshman. She is headed to BYU Provo in just four weeks. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I am really going to miss her, but I am so proud of her and the person that she is. She is gorgeous inside and out. I love you Mariah!!

Time to Catch Up...

I have been really bad about blogging the past little while, so rather than take forever and blog about each event, I'm just going to post pictures and quickly catch up on the past several months.

 
AUGUST 2012
Brogan and his brothers climbed the Grand Teton. It was their Christmas present from Mark and Verla to be able to do this with their dad. Brogan enjoyed every minute, while I was at home praying he would come back in one piece!
Nothing very exciting happened in September, so we will skip to
 
OCTOBER 2012
Brogan had one of his friends from his mission move to the U.S., so he stopped in Utah for a little visit. Brogan was so excited to get to hang out with him. I was able to attend Time out for Women with my mother in law, sister in law, and Jan Moss. I wasn't able to stay for the whole thing, but I hope to go again someday. We also took a little trip to La Sal. It is a super tiny town (smaller than Declo) in Southern Utah. We went with Travis and Blair to visit his family. The entertainment there was shooting prairie dogs. Pretty sure we shot at those things for at least three hours every day we were there. I even got one!
 
 
 
November 2012
Brogan celebrated his 24th birthday! My brother became a state football champ! It was a pretty good month until Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving my Grandpa Duncan passed away. It was a rough time for my family because it was totally unexpected. We still miss and love you Grandpa!!

 
 
December 2012
Brogan's team won the championship game in their 3 on 3 intermurals. Brogan graduated, and we moved home to Declo for good. We lived with my Grandma Duncan for awhile and were able to celebrate Christmas morning with her. It was a good experience to live with my grandma for a time. I was able to gain more of a relationship with her than I have ever had. We had a great Christmas, and we were definitely spoiled!
 
 
January 2013 - March 2013
We brought in the New Year with some of our best friends in Rexburg and had a great time! We were also able to attend a couple of Jazz games!
 
April 2013 - May 2013
We went to Supercross in Salt Lake and had a blast! There were lots of good wrecks this year! We also went back to Logan to graduate! I finished my student teaching, so Brogan and I are now both officially college graduates! We are loving being done with school and back in Declo. Brog is now enjoying work on the farm, and I am currently applying and hoping to get a teaching position for the fall. We are excited to see what the rest of the year will bring!
