Blessed

So for the first time since I started college I got stressed about money for this upcoming semester.
I didn't think that I had enough.
I really didn't want to ask my dad for help.
Then yesterday I checked my email.
I found out the school is offering me a scholarship for this next semester.
Apparently working hard in school pays off.
I am very thankful to the kind donor who provided this.

Life is good.

What gift have I decided to give this Christmas? 18 months out of the next couple of years.

Tonight I got a much needed dose of this girl. She still makes me laugh harder than anyone can!

It was also Chase's first birthday on the 22nd! I can't believe that he went from this...To This

In just one year

Dear Santa

Maybe if you brought me a pair of these babies I would have a set of perfect legs
On second thought... please don't

I love going through my computer and finding things like this. If you don't think this is funny....You don't have a soul. Sometimes we all wish we are Hannah Montana right?

P.S. School is out!! Who wants to play? :)

A family that bowls together stays together

The Porter family are pretty legit bowlers...except for me.

Dayne can model at the same time.

Brad dances after every turn.

Elyse has a killer game face.

Rachel has the good form. Especially with help from her competitive husband.

And Dayne gets the best photographer award, although that's easy with such a photogenic model

Sadly we didn't get pictures of the best two bowlers, Dad and Royce, but they were too concentrated on winning.

Remember

Sometimes during the Christmas season I have a hard time focusing on what we are really celebrating. This video is a perfect reminder!

It's amazing how one little man can make me so happy, even during the hardest of times.

The Plan of Salvation is real, and I love it.
I'll miss you Grandpa.

Sometimes I don't like work....
A lot of times I do :)
