What a Great Life

My life is awesome. 

Period.

Friends

(There are so many more people and pictures where these came from!)

Terrorizing FrontRunner Riders the day after Christmas - Kate, Franny, Me, Chels

Full Orch. Trip: "Where I found myself" :) - Kim, Sarah, Me, Chels

Kate and Chels. There for every important big day. :)

Roommates:

Fact: I had the privilege of living with 10 of the best girls in creation.

Here's a shout out to Sam, Jillian, Amy, Anna, and Becca

Melissa, Suzy, Natalie, Katie, and Madeleine

MLKJ Day - Spontaneous trip to the Fieldhouse and Rock Canyon

Roommate night at Brick Oven. (Ironically, Anna Dearest was on a date making pizza.)

Mliss, Nat, Suz, Mad, (KT), and Justin - There are debts to these girls that I can never repay. I love them dearly. I learned so much from them and grew in ways that were only possible under such a unique climate of amazing ladies.

Family:

Where would I be without them?

Who better to teach you to bowl than your Daddy?

Popcorn buddies. (Yes our popcorn bowl was a bedpan. Yes that's a super-long beard. Yes I love my Dad.)

Our favorite home-made Christmas stockings. Made and filled with love by Mom.

First school dance. Not sure how the girls without older sisters get through life.

The little moments.

You can only get away with stuff like this with a sister.

New sisters!

I'm getting to be a big sister for the first time in my life. And I love it.

Our family setup is perfect. Four boys then the two girls at the end to be best friends.

"Chums in joy..." -- Chums ALWAYS.

I look up to all of them (yes, all, Aaron) and feel lucky I came last.

These kids are my first real experience prepping me for my own family. Dan and Karen, thank you for sharing the love. :)

And last but not least...

My Right-Hand Man

First picture together when he'd taken me home for General Conference to meet the family.

Summer Date to hike Timp Caves

Right after we both said "Yes"

Laughing at the position the photographer was making us be in. A total ab-workout.

On our Honeymoon in San Diego - The USS Midway

Top of the Conference Center

Beach + Blake = Happy Annie

One of our very favorite temples!

I love firsts. First winter, first time playing in the snow, first snow man (and the tallest one I've ever made).

Sending Grandma her "flowers" for Mother's Day. We're so grateful to be here in their home.

Yep. Awesome life.

More of life to come!
