Mom's Memorial


~Mom~

It's been a year today since I heard the news that shocked us all. I've missed you so much. I've wanted to call you for recipes and advice. I want to hear the excitement in your voice when we finally get pregnant. I want to see you hold our babies. I want to see Dad really happy again. I just want you to hold me and tell me you love me. I miss the smell of your cooking, seeing you smile, and hearing your laughter. I'm afraid of forgetting the sound of your voice and the things you'd say. I wish I would have known what was going to be our last hug and our last goodbyes. But the words probably would have been the same, "I love you so much. I'll miss you . We'll see you again soon." All my love, VoNique

01/12/08 Ice Skating

We went to VeNicia's house and met up with a bunch for friends for yummy food. Then we headed to the local outdoor ice skating rink. It was so much fun and it was only $1.50! I'm so bad! I think I made it around the rink 3 times in the hour+ we were there. I had to push the little kids out of the way so I could cling to the edge!

01/05/08 Girl's day, evening, and night!

I had a girl’s day/night with my sister VeNicia, and our friends Allie and Christine. We went to Rod Works, and Ikea, and then dinked around at the mall while we waited to get seated at the new Cheesecake Factory! While we waited we tried on fake hair and some sample makeup,

and got our hair curled at one of those kiosks. Some of us even tried on whole manikins!

Dinner was definitely worth the wait. Then we went and saw “PS I Love You”. I’ve cried during movies before, but never the WHOLE thing! It was really good though. It was a really fun night!

New Year's Eve 2007

For New Year’s Eve we went up to my sister JaNel’s house in Bountiful. We sang in the New Year mumbling the words to “Auld Lang Syne” at the top of our lungs.


Well, most of us did. That’s Jared down stairs sleeping on the air mattress. No, he didn't bother to inflate it. He looked so cute, but when I tried to take a picture he sensed a disturbance in the force and pulled the covers over his head.



We had a great time. It's unbelievable that another year has gone by!
