My little brother, David, got his mission call on Wednesday! Everyone gathered at my parents house to hear the big news of where he will be serving.
Here is a video of some of the friends and family that came to support David. Many more came after I took this video. Thanks everyone for being there and showing how much you care!
Everyone made a guess about where David would go. We all wrote our guess on a slip of paper and read them right before he opened his call. Here are just a few of the guesses.
FINALLY! The opening....
Congrats David! I love you so much! I really, really, really hate to think about missing you for two years, but I am so happy and excited for you! You will make a fantastic missionary. You are the best brother a girl could ask for. Go get 'em!

Makes Me Smile!
Here are a few things I have seen the last few days that have made me smile!
1. OLD man at the gym on the treadmill next to me. He had his headphones hooked up to the TV and was TOTALLY absorbed into a re-run episode of "Saved By the Bell". There were a few times that he would laugh out loud and when I would glance over, the laughing always occurred during scenes with Screech!
2. Berkeley. Everything Berkeley does makes me smile, but I couldn't help but laugh when I walked into the living room and found Berkeley sitting on Asa's little spiderman couch with Asa. Each of them had an X-Box controller and Berkeley was apparently teaching Asa how to play video games. I took a picture..
3. One of my professors has some serious Weber State University pride because every Monday he comes to school looking exactly like Barney the Dinosaur. She wears purple crocs over purple socks, purple slicky pants, a purple turtle neck and a purple zip up vest. To top it off, she usually uses a purple dry erase marker during her lecture!
4. Asa has said his first word (besides mamma and dada) and that word is BUBBLE. I love it! He won't say it out loud. He whispers it over and over when he brings me his bubble wand to blow bubbles for him. He continues to whisper it as he runs back and forth popping the bubbles. SO cute!

Welcome Home!
Berkeley did great at tech school. It was a really hard time, but he made it and graduated with high honors! He flew home from Lackland Air Force Base on Wednesday the 26th and it has been so awesome having him back! When he got in the car at the airport, Asa had an expression of stone. It was a look like "I know who you are, but what are you doing HERE?" He kept that expressionless face the entire way home while not taking his eyes off of Berkeley. Finally, towards the end of our drive, Berkeley got him smiling and eventually laughing. Once home, Asa was his normal, noisy, happy self and was more than happy to be playing with daddy. We are a happy little family again and so happy to be returning to normal life. I tend to take normal life for granted, so these times apart have been real eye openers for me. I am going to be more careful about being happy with our day to day routine and not taking Berkeley for granted. He does so much for Asa and I and we love him!

5 Years!
Today is Berkeley and my anniversary! 5 years ago today we tied the knot in the Salt Lake City Temple and vowed commitment to each other for time and all eternity. I'll never forget that first year (and neither will Berkeley) when our marriage was rocky, to say the least, and there were times that we thought we would never make it out. How happy I am that we fought through that hard time because now I couldn't be a happier wife and I'm pretty sure I keep Berkeley a happy husband...most days :) . I can't help brooding a little bit over the fact that Berkeley has had to miss our last two anniversaries due to Air Force training, but I know how much he would love to be here. Plus, he gets home in 5 days and that's not too late to celebrate, right?! Thanks everyone for all your love and support over the years.

I Love This!
We should all take a lesson from this little girl! If only all of us would look in the mirror each morning and tell ourselves how great life is and how we "can do anything good". Watch and enjoy!

Flashback....
I was scrolling through old Facebook pictures and I came across this little gem...
Can you guess who I am? I didn't think so. This was me trying to be Ginger Spice from the Spice Girls. My friend Lexi and I decided we wanted to make a music video and we wanted to impersonate the Spice Girls. Lexi has a knack for doing very believable impersonations. I, on the other hand, just stay myself... but in a costume. Lexi was using this perfect British accent while my attempt sounded like a hillbilly with a speech impediment. Even though moments like these can come back to seriously haunt you, I can't help thinking back to that day and laughing at the hilarity of it all. We had so much fun and it's times like those that are not easily forgotten. Oh, and just so you all know, I WILL NEVER POST OUR SPICE GIRLS MUSIC VIDEO...got that Lexi? Never post it!
