BYU Fans Congregate

We had the funnest time last night getting together, eating and watching BYU win the Pioneer Bowl! Dan and his girlfriend Ashley, his roommate Lance and Ashley's sister Madi joined us along with my Dad and Mom and Brad and the boys. (Christine was busy assembling some Christmas gifts and we missed her!) It was a great game and the end was especially nail biting. Scott had given up on our team, but I knew from past experience that you never underestimate the Cougars. They have pulled some incredible saves to win some great games and needless to say; it would have been hard to swallow if BYU would have lost since U of U won their bowl game. We are so proud We all are true blue!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
