Merry Christmas Big Brother

Christmas is going to be hard this year. I have found comfort through writing poems to express my feelings. It is easier than talking about it and it's easier than holding it all in.

God took you home with him last Christmas Eve,

Although it was your time, I didn't want you to leave.

It seemed way too soon...why did you have to die?

I didn't even get a chance to say one last goodbye.

I felt sad not seeing you on my wedding day,

But I know you were there in your own special way.

Things are different now, never to be the same.

My heart melts a little whenever I hear your name.

Growing up, I strived to be just like you-

I followed you around like little sisters do.

As long as I keep following, I'll see you again someday,

Until that time approaches, I'll just continue to pray.

Christmas time is here again; you know it makes us sad-

Memories fill our heads of the good times that we've had.

We should smile and be happy-because it's comforting to hear

That you'll be spending Christmas with Jesus again this year.

I hope everyone has a good Christmas and remembers what it's truly about.

Merry Christmas big brother- I love you.

Back to Reality

Well we are back now from our honeymoon and that means back to work. Zach is still painting for his brother and I'm still working at the USU Research Foundation. We are planning to go to Weber next Fall. My wedding was everything I dreamt it would be and more! We love our new duplex that we are renting here in Logan. We are so blessed to have gotten in this home because- it's brand new, it has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage (so so so nice for winter), and it has been so fun to decorate and have a place to call our own. Our honeymoon was awesome and we had so much fun. Our cruise went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel Mexico. We did a zipline through the rainforest in Jamaica as well as the Jamaican bobsled. But my favorite excursion was in Grand Cayman- it was called Sea Trek. Pictures to come!

Starting Our New Journey!

Zach and I will be getting married in two days, so I decided we should start a blog so everyone can keep up with us. We were high school sweethearts and Zach finally proposed to me on July 3rd. We will be getting married November 5th in the Logan Temple. I can't believe how fast our wedding date has crept up on us- but we are so ready to get married and leave for our wonderful cruise to the Caribbean together! We are so excited to start our new lives together forever and ever! I'll post more after the honeymoon and let you know how our wedding went and make you jealous of how fun our trip was!
