Just some catching up to do...

Man I am so way behind on a lot of blogging so I am just going to tell what I can remember.  This years New Beginnings theme was Stand Ye In Holy Places.  Natalie helped by talking about knowledge and if I am mistaken no one will know.  Nichole couldn't make it this year she was getting ready to go to Baltimore and had to finish up some last minute marketing stuff.  Because of that and a lot of other Young Women being absent because of sickness I got to step up and be a young woman that night too.  I got to read about Virtue.  The night was very nice.  The room was beautifully decorated with the Young Women colors.

I talked Nichole into  doing her hair ombre. Here it is with the brown on top and the red on the bottom.

There was a chili cook off in my ward and I decided to get all dressed up for it.  This is me 25 pounds lighter!  Well part of me anyway.

While Nichole was in Baltimore Natalie and I went to see The Host movie.  I love girls nights with my girl!

Sadly one of my favorite missionaries left to go home on from her mission.  Sister Rivera was always a joy to have at our house.  I luckily got to spend some time with her before she went home!

Sometimes I go onto my kids Facebook pages and steal pictures that others have posted of her.  I am not exactly sure what is going on here but both of them looked surprised!
