2010 and Beyond

G & G Smith made their grand exits.
After Gramma died in February,
all Grampa wanted was to be with her.
He got his wish in May.
I just really love this picture of them.
Isn’t she making such a Krista face?

It was around this time that I saw my dad without a mustache on his face for the first time in my whole life. I must say, I like him best with the stache!

June. My best friend got married.

Which made me the Maid Of Honor.

After the night of her reception,

I dated this handsome boy for awhile.

we had some good adventures.

but the flame sort of flickered and

I eventually made a wish and blew out the candle.

Fall is usually my favorite, but it was mostly filled with working and schooling. Nothing too exciting, except for that when Kylee came to visit we took Auri to Tarzan and to Swiss Days. But Swiss days isn’t even Swiss Days anymore because they don’t have it at the park. I will never forget sewing class and I will never forget going to lunch all the time with Erin and Mike. The best part of this semester is that it's my last one before I get my associates! yip yip hurrah! My fancy piece of paper should come in the mail someday soon!

So, by October I tried fixing things by dressing up as Michael Jackson and by consuming pb&j sandwiches.I always liked him best when he was black. It doesn’t even matter if you’re black or white. Apparently.

November equals traditional dressing and blessings as Pilgrims and Indians. Things were definitely starting to look up again.

November also equals a new little tiger Lily niece to add to my growing collection!

December. December was super busy and exciting mostly because of a very important letter I was waiting for. It finally came. On a Thursday. I’ve always liked Thursdays. I have been called to serve in the Brazil Sao Paulo East mission and I could not be happier.

In order to serve a mission, I of course had to be 21. I just want you to know that my birthday did happen this year. Mckenna took me to Vegas and I totally gambled. She is such the best friend in the whole wide world and you can read more about what we did here.

My friend Chelsea also got married and I was yet again a bridesmaid.

Christmas was fun because Kylee and her ninnies came from California again and we have been playing our new wii and Santa gave me lots of wonderful missionary things and I am going through the temple next Monday! It’s so fantastic that I can look to this upcoming year with such bright eyes. I know without a doubt that it will be so hard, but so life changing. I cant wait to see the light in people’s eyes as I testify of our Savior and let them know that they can be with their families forever. What a happy thing! Did you know that the word “Gospel” actually means “Good News”? Well. That is what I plan on doing. Spreading the good news like jam so that it gets on everybody!

And then when I get home it will be October 2012. I give myself until

.:September 21^st 2013:.

Because that is the day, that I will be the Bride.

And this song will be the theme song. AND. these guys are my new favorite. Seriously.

Perfect right? You can’t even steal my plan because it is mine!

Unless you’re my husband. Then it can be your plan too. Okie?

Never was a cloudy day!

This world is our plaything. Hum on himi it!
