This is a tag that my friend Sara started...I think it is great to reflect on all the things we LOVE about this life! I remember once, my sister had a notebook with a smiley face on it that she used to write down random things she loved. So here is mine...

Connel. Family. Friends. Memories. The beach. Vacations. Idaho. Charly, Gage, and Tessa!, My Savior. Crying. Eating. My bed. Laughter. My computer. Country dancing. Organizing. Digital Scrapbooking. Missionaries. Blogging. Sunrises and Sunsets. Being home for Christmas. Camping. Testimonies. Preschoolers. 4-wheeling. Birthdays. BBQ's, Sunshine, Swimming. Walks. Talking to a good friend about nothing and everything. Sleeping. Repentance. Shopping. Clothing. My new khaki jacket. Chocolate. Summer. Pink. Antiques. Decorating. Crafting. Watching Movies. Reading. The temple. BYU-I. Hope Floats. Anticipation of waiting for something good (food, a trip, special occasions). Africa. Planning. Ice Cream. Off-roading. Italy. Nyssa. Ohio country landscapes.

Do this if you want to!

meet me in st louis.

...yep, that's right! Another big move! We are going to be moving to the Gateway to the west! St. Louis, Missouri.

It bittersweet...we have loved our time in Ohio and have made some really great friends! But, we are excited for (another) new experience (and to see the Reeds!). We have only heard good things about St. Louis so far!

We are actually going to be living outside of St. Louis and I kind of hope that it is a little more in the country as sometime the city/suburbs make me a little claustrophobic...but we will see what happens! We are making the big move in just a few weeks!

tag {memory}.

This is a fun and INTERACTIVE one! Plus, I'm a sap for memories!

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, if we’ve actually met in person or not, anything you remember about me!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don’t want to play on your blog, or if you don’t have a blog, I’ll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Everyone is tagged!
