I had such a wonderful time with Ryan's family last week. Ryan's sister Shelly and nephew Logan(we missed you Tyler!)came to visit from Florida and it was so much fun! Logan is getting so big and it seems like he just grows so fast! So here are some pictures from the last week. I didn't take as many as I wanted but at least I got some! I miss you already Shel and Logan!

Shelly and Logan's Visit!

Christmas Pictures

A Little Late...

I decided since today was my day off I would take some time and do some work on my blog! I haven't had the time or desire to keep up with it lately which is very tragic. So this is late, but I did have a very eventful and wonderful Christmas so here are a couple pictures to prove it!

Oh yeah, Elder Penman passed his 8 month mark this week!!

Long Time No Blog

Hello again! It has so long since I've posted! I've had some busy weeks and now that I have a minute I think it is about time for an update!

Finals went better than I expected, which was awesome! I am just glad that this semester is over and gone! It was tough. Just for your information, out of $300+ spent on books I received a measly $42 back. Lovely.

Great Harvest is really busy during the Christmas season, therefore I will be crazy up until Christmas. I am going to be working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week starting tomorrow! Wish me luck... Ho Ho Ho!

Elder Penman sent me an early Christmas present! It was a beanie and scarf that he crocheted himself! I was about to pass out when I got the package I was so happy. His first companion Elder Clyde taught him how to crochet, so I suspect he had been working on this present for a while! ALSO! Today is the seventh month mark for Elder Penman being out on his mission! Is that awesome or what? I think it is.

I hope you enjoyed this little update and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

A Day for Celebration!!

Elder Ryan John Penman has been gone for SIX MONTHS! That is 1/4 of his mission done already! I am so happy that he is serving in Spokane. He loves it and is the happiest he has ever been. It really is fun to write letters and hear great stories of people he meets. I know he is doing what he needs to be doing right now, and he will be blessed because of his choice to serve a mission.

7 Weird and Random Facts

I think this tag was just what the doctor ordered Brandy! Thanks :)

1. I can't handle scary movies. I used to enjoy them but something snapped after I saw the movie The Ring.



2. I have never been on an airplane. I'm thinking my first airplane ride will probably be on my honeymoon.




3. I was in a freak horse accident. Girls camp o5 I was riding Jorge and he got spooked and blitzed up a mountain with me clinging to his side. Fortunately all that happened was a bruised foot and broken toe. Some say after everything happened they couldn't recognize me because my face was covered in dirt from when I face planted. :)




4. Shia Leboeuf is my celebrity crush. Ever since he was in the Disney series Even Stevens, I have loved this goofball.




5. I have played the piano for approximately 12 years. I can't believe it has been this long, but I began lessons at the age of 8. I stopped lessons after high school, but I still play for fun and for primary.




6. I hate the feeling of powdered sugar. Seriously. I make cream cheese frosting at work and when I have to reach into that bucket full of powdered sugar to grab the scoop it gets me every time.




7. I could eat a corn dog everyday. I don't know when this fetish started, but I love crispy, hot corn dogs dipped in fry sauce. MMM...
   

Now I tag 7 of my peeps- Julia, Mom, Leesa, Shelly, Megan, Lindsey, and Melissa. (If you wanna!)
