Family History... Bringing the Past to Life!

Greg and I are almost finished with our first course in the new Family History Sunday School class. It's been interesting to learning as we teach. We have an amazing class! They are so eager to learn about their ancestors and do their family history and temple work.

On Saturday, Greg and I had an urge to get out of Logan for a bit. We headed to Salt Lake to visit the Family History Library. WOW! It was so amazing to see all of the information that is available. There are 5 floors of world history and the cutest little old ladies to help every step of the way. I even saw my friend Elder Shelton (although I didn't go say hi. Greg said it was okay, but I felt weird and didn't want to distract him).

Anyways... check out the website  new.familysearch.org  it's really interesting to look through your family history and see where you come from :)

Life... The Crazy Life We Live!

I can't even believe that January is almost over! Where does the time go? In the past month I've had more emotional break downs (my poor husband...) and more joyous occasions than I deserve. Christmas was hard, just stressful and emotionally hard. I had hoped that after New Years I'd just snap back and be happy again... well it's been harder than I thought (and the stupid inversion hasn't helped).

Greg and I have stayed busy. We're both still working full time jobs (very grateful for that!) and Greg has officially submitted his application for grad school. We came to the decision that it's best if we stay at USU for him to get his master's degree. We're just waiting to hear if he's accepted or not (we're pretty sure he'll get it, but we never know what life will throw at us).

I attended my first BYU basketball game this month. It was interesting... I'm used to the intense crowd of USU basketball. BYU wasn't as intense. But it was still fun. We went with 2 of Greg's brothers and their families. We don't get to see Greg's family as much as we'd like. It's hard to find a free weekend to go to Price and well, they don't really come to Logan very often (on the other hand, Greg sees my family everyday... yet he still loves them!).

Greg and I have a new calling in our ward. We are the Family History course teachers. It's been fun learning about both of our families and playing on the church's new family history website. Apparently in my family line I am a descendant of royalty :) ain't life great!

Well after an interesting day at work, I love to relax by playing with Photoshop Elements. I've been editing pictures from the past year, including my Grandma Dodo's life and funeral. I love looking back at all of her pictures and reminiscing of all of our fun times and memories. Until I have an emotional break down start crying because I miss her so much (Greg is so amazing because he'll just cuddle up with me and let me cry) (fyi... I started tearing up just thinking about thinking about her... and Greg just turned to me and told me I didn't have to make myself cry for him to cuddle with me. Ain't he great!)

Here are some of my favorite photos that I've touched up...

My little Trevor... he's a goof!
