Embracing the Future....

The past couple of weeks have been filled with snow, ice and cold Missouri winds. Maragert and Justin return from their long honeymoon. Here is a picture for those of you who do not see snow very often. God has created such a beautiful world. Their wedding pictures where beautiful. My favorite pictures are from their honeymoon. Aaron and I welcomed then home with a night of pizza and games. Let's just say it was a night to remember. The next weekend it was Maragerts 25th b-day weekend and Brooke came in town to visit. She is putting the final touches on her wedding. We all went out to a Japanese restaurant and then a place on the plaza for deserts. Brooke's wedding is this weekend. Thursday is the Bachelorette party and Mom dot shower, Friday is the rehearsal dinner and then the wedding in on Saturaday. Hair appointments are early on Saturday morning. Here is a picture of Brooke and her husband to be Adam.

After a mild fall, the month of January brought snow, rain, and cold very cold weather. Classes have now been going on for two weeks now. This week on the job, we had monday off, tuesday was a snow day, wednesday work went smoothly, and thrusday the power went out and there was an electrical fire. I am enjoying my capstone course, wishing I was done in May. I am having fun trying to figure out what to do for my internship in the Fall. Brooke's wedding is coming around the corner Feb 1st, Sarah and I are trowing her a Bachelorette party with all over herfriends. This semester should be full of lots of reading. Take care..

Christmas for Aaron and I was really great, we are truly blessed. We spent the weekend in St. Joe with Aaron's family and then drove back to Kansas City for Christmas day to spend time with my family. Here are a couple pictures of Christmas in St. Joe. The people in the picture are Aaron's parents, his brother Tony and his wife Melissa and son Jacob (2.5 yrs). On Saturday we had Christmas with Aaron's Mom side of the family. Then Christmas morning with Aaron's family and then off to Grandma Barton's house. Sorry I do not have any pictures from my families Christmas. Very busy on Christmas Day. Then we went and saw a movie after all of the present opening. Aaron and I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and a Happy New Year.
