I miss my brother

that's all . . .

Fall is coming!

I haven't written in quite a long time, but I hope to be more consistent with updating my blog. I am now in the throws of fall semester at BYU, and life is starting to get busy. In addition to having class in the mornings and a several evenings I also volunteer twice a week--on Thursdays I play with children at the Center for Women and Children in Crisis, and then on Fridays I volunteer at the Utah State Hospital with the girls youth. Both of these volunteer opportunities are very rewarding for me and I love being able to take a step back from my own "crazy" life and help others by just having fun with them.

Basically, life is great! In the past few weeks I have reflected on how blessed I am and how much I have grown in the past year. I have a wonderful supportive family--which includes my AMAZING Mom and Dad, siblings, and my adorable niece Megan and also nephews (Matthew, Truman, Connor, Charles, Bryce, and Henry). I love all of them with all of my heart.

My parents are hilarious!

My oldest sister Edie . . . small, but mighty!
