Family and one on the way!




Well plenty of things to discuss, but the one at the top of my mind is the baby on the way!  Brady and I are so happy and grateful to announce we will be welcoming a little baby into our family at the beginning of 2009.  While life has been going a mile a minute it has been nice to have the baby as something to look forward to and take my mind of the stresses of the world.  Heavenly Father has created the most amazing plan of happiness that brings so many lessons and joy to life.  I love my family and am so grateful to have them in my life as my closest companions.  My generous parents and my great family got to spend a week together in San Diego just having fun and I loved every moment.  I have missed Todd, Megan, John, Brittney (we missed you tons!...good luck with finals and see you Wednesday!~), Emily, Greg, and the boys so much.  I always thought us siblings would stay in North Ogden and get to see each other all the time so now I cherish every moment we can all be in the same state.  Thanks mom and dad for the hard work of putting a great trip together and making family trips possible.  Work is good...school is busy...Brady is working hard on his applications to hopefully send in this weekend...and I couldn't me more grateful to have a busy life that keeps me happy, productive, and stretches me in so many ways while learning so much about life, myself, and others.  Hope everything is going well with everyone out there.  The weather is great and hopefully it will be a safe, fun summer.  Life is too short to be unhappy and I hope I can always count my blessings and be close to my family.

So, my mom told me your announcement, but I've just kind of been waiting to hear it from you. I'm jealous. Maybe someday I can make an announcement like that myself. Not yet, though.

Laurel, I remember when you were born here in beautiful SC! That is wonderful news. With the mother and heritage you have you cannot miss on being one of the greatest mothers of all time. No joke, you and Brady must be elated.
I know Veronica will be happy to have that little baby in her reach all the time. Take care. I love you and your great family.
Love, TaWanna
