Two Best Friends

Sasha and Schoggi LOVE playing together. They have been friends ever since we got Sasha. Schoggi is Andrew’s Cousin Kami and her husband Ben’s dog. Back when we first got Sasha, Schoggi was a lot bigger but Sasha is now the bigger one.

Last Year….

Now:

Sasha gets SO excited when we tell her we are going to Schoggi’s house. When we pull up to their house, it is hard to contain her. She knows EXACTLY where we are. They love to wrestle together! It is fun to watch them. When they get tired, they will plop down at opposite ends of the room. Then they start a staring contest until one of them gives in then they both start running full speed toward each other and start wrestling all over again. They also both like to play tug ‘o war. When Sasha was smaller, She was no match  for Schoggi but now, They can both have fun playing it. It is fun to watch their little strategies they come up with to win.

Disney Land

Our Christmas present was to take a much need vacation from work AND school. We went to Disney Land with Ben and Kami and had a blast. It was Ben’s first time so we all had fun showing  him our  favorite rides as kids. It was wonderful weather and Short lines, We couldn’t have wished it to be more perfect. We were able to stay with Kami and Andrew’s Grandma & Grandpa Wilkins in Perris California and see their new house.  

On Saturday before we went to Disney Land, we decided to do a sealing session in the Redlands temple. It was a really cool experience. It was nice to be able to see something so familiar like a temple in such a different place. Andrew’s dad was nice to let us borrow his GPS.

If we didn’t have that with us, we would have been so lost! Those California roads and freeways are so confusing!  It made us appreciate our parent’s dedication and patience when they took us to Disney Land as kids. The only bad the of the trip was having to come home to work and school and life.

Forever Family

On Saturday December 27, 2008 Andrew and I were sealed together in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. We were joined by many family and friends. It was a wonderful and spiritual experience for both of us. To make it extra special, Andrew’s parents, Liz and Darrel had made it their goal to be able to come with us. It was their first time back in the Temple since they were married 23 years ago.  We are so blessed to have so many people who care about us.
