reunited with these four.

my sisters stayed with me for a weekend.

we had christmas up in idaho with my wonderful family.

i'm really glad i wrote this post. it gave me a lot of time to think about this past year. and made me so grateful for it. grateful for the wonderful families we have. our jobs that we love. school that is challenging, but helps us grow. and the gospel to help make us into better people & blesses us beyond belief.
and, as always i am super grateful that we have each other. to go through the ups & downs together.
we can't wait to see what this year will bring.
